“What an inspiring, mind changing and absolutely filled with knowledge journey it has been becoming part of the Calmbirth ‘family’. Each of the different components of the program was really well structured, very professionally organised and beautifully presented. Over the years I have heard so many times from the couples attending the Calmbirth program how they came away from it with so much knowledge, confidence and even a bit life changed!

Doing the educator training and being able to dig deeper into that knowledge has allowed me to gain so much more insight into topics anywhere from our bodies, our relationships, to teaching and facilitating skills, to even a much better understanding of integrative medicine. I can only highly recommend this training and joining the Calmbirth family.”

Personal Experiences

Before the class Sam was apprehensive about the birth and how involved he wanted to be (in his culture birth was seen as women’s business)...

Erynne & Sam

I found the whole experience of my labour and delivery to be utterly incredible! The techniques and understanding of my body's physiology that I learnt at Calmbirth really helped me through.

Mel & Stefan

If we had not done Calmbirth, I don’t know if we could have gotten through our 35 labour experience. I couldn’t recommend the weekend highly enough!!

Lloyd & Ellie

Calmbirth breathing techniques helped me immensely in labour, birth and surgery and gave my husband an important role. Calmbirth prepares you for anything that may happen, not just a natural birth.
