We are all working with the same goal in mind – to help birthing mothers and babies achieve a safe and positive birth experience. Hypnobirthing Australia™ is gaining more popularity than any other childbirth education program, not just in Australia, but all over the world. The numbers of couples who are seeking this type of birth preparation is growing, and numbers attending Empowered to Birth’s Positive Birth Program, the flagship course of Hypnobirthing Australia, are rising steeply
Caregivers play an integral role throughout pregnancy and birth, and the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program recognises the difference that supportive caregivers can make to the outcome.
The Hypnobirthing Australia™ Supportive Caregivers Training has been specifically designed to provide midwives and caregivers with training on how to best support hypnobirthing mothers with the use of self-hypnosis, conditioning, relaxation, breathing and visualisation. Midwives will receive 10 ACM CPD Recognition Hours to go towards their annual CPD hours required
That is why Hypnobirthing Australia™/Hypnobubs® designed this course especially for you – medical professionals (midwives, obstetricians, doctors, nurses), childbirth educators, doulas and childbirth/pregnancy professionals – who wish to learn the basic philosophy and tools of hypnobirthing so that you can best support parents who choose to use this method of birthing.
Participants of this intensive training are not qualified to teach the Hypnobirthing Australia™ Program – please note that this training is designed for support only.
This special intensive training is specifically designed to equip caregivers with an understanding of the hypnobirthing philosophy, language and tools that you can utilise in your very important role of supporting birthing mothers and families.
This course is endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives as CPD Recognised Activity (10 CPD Hours).
