Hypnobirthing Australia™ Supportive Caregivers Training

Caregivers play an integral role throughout pregnancy and birth, and the Hypnobirthing Australia™ program recognises the difference that supportive caregivers can make!

That is why we designed this course especially for you – midwives, obstetricians, doctors, childbirth educators, doulas, physiotherapists, yoga teachers or anyone who works with women during their pregnancy - 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. Plus this course is endorsed for 10 CPD points by the Australian College of Midwives!

This 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.

In our ‘Supportive Caregivers Training’ we will cover: 

- Introduction to positive mindset of hypnobirthing 

- Causes of fear and how it affects labour (psychological, emotional, physical) 

- How caregivers can best help and support hypnobirthing parents 

- What is hypnosis and how it is used through pregnancy and birth
