This training course is a four day, two- part Childbirth Education Programme.

The first part consists of a 16-hour segment which covers the Introduction to Hypnosis for Childbirth (suited for midwives, doctors, doulas, anyone without knowledge of hypnosis).

Introduction to Hypnosis for Childbirth is waived for qualified Hypnotherapists. Applicants will need to show evidence of credentials prior to registration and attending the training. It is highly recommended that this element of the programme is attended by hypnotherapists, as its application is specific to the HypnoBirthing® programme taught to parents.

OR Birth Basics, 16 hour segment for qualified Hypnotherapists or as a refresher if you had previously trained and not covered this element.


The second part is a 16-hour segment that concludes the Certification Programme for HypnoBirthing® Practitioner.

There will be a written examination paper on both Introduction to Hypnosis for Childbirth and the HypnoBirthing® Practitioner's Certification. The papers are returned to the Institute for marking within six weeks of the course.

You will receive the current Institute approved material at the beginning of your course, including CD's, DVD's, manuals, scripts, latest available copy of the HypnoBirthing® Teacher's training book. Once you have submitted your examination papers, you will be eligible for support, email newsletters, practitioners online support and help and, on gaining your certification, it will be a requirement to update your training on an annual basis.
