birth attendant training - Expression of Interest

Through time and across cultures, birthing wisdom has always brought forward women who feel drawn to working with birthing energy.

Women whose experiences open them to the transformational possibilities of birthing

Women whose heart’s calling is to offer support to birthing women.

This ten-month course seeks to honour and support this heart’s calling.

Support for Birthing Women

Research shows that continuous on-on-one experiences, 'knowing' and known support throughout her labour enhances a woman's potential for normal physiological birth and stronger bonding with her baby.
