Learn Calmbirth from the comfort of your own home

Some Calmbirth Educators offer their courses online, giving you the opportunity to prepare for birth in a way that feels flexible, accessible, and supportive.

An online Calmbirth course covers similar content to what you would experience in an in-person course. You will still explore the Calmbirth philosophy, the Mind-Body-Birth connection, practical birth tools, your options and choices, your partner’s role, and preparation for the postpartum period.

While every educator brings their own experience, approach, and delivery style, online courses are designed to help you feel informed, confident, connected, and better prepared for birth – wherever and however your birth unfolds.

What is an online Calmbirth course?

An online Calmbirth course is a live antenatal education course delivered by a certified Calmbirth Educator via an online platform.

It offers a supportive and interactive way to learn, reflect, ask questions, and practise the tools and techniques that can help you and your partner prepare for birth.

For many families, online learning can be a helpful option if you:

  • Live regionally or remotely

  • Cannot attend a face-to-face course

  • Prefer to learn from home

  • Have scheduling or mobility needs

  • Want to attend a course with a specific educator who offers online delivery

  • Are preparing for birth with a partner or support person who cannot attend in person

What you will learn

Online Calmbirth courses generally cover the same core themes as our in-person courses, including the emotional, physical, and practical preparation you need for birth.

You will explore how your mindset, body, nervous system, hormones, partner support, and environment all work together during labour and birth.

The course is designed to help you understand birth more deeply, so you can feel more confident in your ability to work with it.

Online Calmbirth Course

Our flagship Calmbirth course helps you and your partner prepare for labour, birth, and the early transition into parenting. In an online setting, you will explore the Mind-Body-Birth connection, practical tools for working with labour, your birth options, your partner’s role, and preparation for the postpartum period.

This course is designed to help you feel informed, supported, and confident as you prepare for your birth experience.

Online Calmbirth Refresher Course

If you have completed Calmbirth before and are preparing for another baby, an online refresher course gives you the opportunity to pause, reconnect, and prepare for this birth.

You will revisit the Calmbirth tools and techniques, reflect on your previous birth experience, reconnect with your partner, and explore your goals and options for the birth ahead.

Online Calmbirth Caesarean Birth Course

For families preparing for a planned or possible caesarean birth, some educators may offer the Calmbirth Caesarean Birth Course online.

This course helps you understand what to expect before, during, and after a caesarean birth, while also supporting your mindset, partner preparation, recovery, bonding, and postpartum planning.

Find an online course

Online course availability depends on individual Calmbirth Educators. Some including Southern Highlands Calmbirth and Sally Crothers regularly offer online courses via Zoom.
