What support can I offer my parents to ensure they have a good birth? The Hypnobirthing Training Academy – was developed after years of listening to parents and what they wanted to support their birth. Parents will be given information about how their body functions well in childbirth backed up by the latest scientific information from neuroscience, and pre - perinatal psychology. This will give them real confidence in their body’s ability to work for them. Couples will be offered a large 73 page colour book - ‘Hypnobirthing Course companion’ to support their learning. There will be no handouts to get lost after the class. Online streaming is offered to parents so that they can listen to all 9 downloads enjoyed on their hypnobirthing course. They are also able to watch the breathing techniques being taught as many times as they wish, while re-enforcing information given in the class setting – no need to worry about preggy brain. This also means that practitioners can teach the course materials as they wish: Over 4 weeks (4 x 2.5 hours) Two consecutive Saturdays or Sundays

A whole weekend  Confident that the important practical information a can be re-watched as many times as the parents wish. This offers practitioners freedom in the delivery of their classes – so they can fit their hypnobirthing courses around their work/family schedule. Practitioners will also be offered lots of follow up information following training. This includes a monthly group skype session with Jenny; Webinars, and yearly CPD from relevant speakers. Practitioners are also advised to take part in group discussions with other students on private facebook groups. It is vitally important that practitioners feel supported as they grow their business.
