The big secret we’re ready to reveal is that birth can be POSITIVE. It can be a truly amazing, life-changing experience for mum, baby and birthing partners alike.

Yes, it can be bloody tough and full of challenges, but if that woman walks in fully prepped, and fully CONFIDENT, she can boss that birth.

That’s where we come in. No, that’s where YOU come in.

But we’ll get to that. Let’s start by sharing a bit more about The Calm Birth School (the reason we’re all here today).

The Calm Birth School started life as a four week antenatal video program, guiding women and their birth partners to create calm, joyful births from anywhere in the world. Once the success of the programme had been noted by people across the world, we started to get enquiries about actually teaching face to face classes and so The Calm Birth School Instructor Training programme was born! Since we opened the doors in 2015, we’re thrilled to say we’ve supported thousands of calm births (either on line or face to face via one of TCBS Instructors).

Wouldn’t you just love to build a blazing career of your own, offering such transformational experiences?

If you’re thinking “OH MY! This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!!”, we can’t wait to share this opportunity for you to come and join our amazing team of The Calm Birth School Instructors.

To become “one of us”, you will need to complete our online training programme AND a 2 day face-to-face workshop, for individuals who want to teach women and their birth companions to experience birth with POSITIVITY, CONFIDENCE and CALM.

Introducing… The Calm Birth Instructor Training Program

Our training program consists of 5 online modules and a 2 day in-person workshop. This training will give you everything you need to create your own successful hypnobirthing business.

The online modules will arm you with everything you need to know about hypnosis and birth. You’ll also work through activities designed to up your confidence and get you thinking like an instructor, supported by our exclusive Facebook community filled with facilitators and fellow students.

The offline workshop will equip you with all the confidence and teaching tactics you’ll need to offer your own hypnobirthing sessions. This will not be a training like any other - you’ll have the opportunity to practice your skills, as well as building the foundations for a profitable business you can be proud of.

We’ll be covering every step of The Calm Birth Method as well as:

Connection & Confidence

Affirmations

Marketing & Mindset

Interaction

Relaxation Techniques

Teaching Techniques

Hypnobirthing

And to support you in running your own successful business, we’ll be providing mentoring as well as giving you access to a bespoke mindset & marketing programme, designed just for you.

Hi, I'm Liz!

I own The Calm Birth School, I am a hypnobirthing teacher, trainer, clinical hypnotherapist and soon to be a Mindset Academy Coach.

I became pregnant with my first child at the age of 27 and was so terrified of what lay ahead of me for the next 9 months (and beyond) that I began reading all I could about pregnancy and birth. I empowered myself with knowledge and felt more in control. I had a fear that the pain of childbirth would be so great that I would not cope and would need all the drugs going. This was not an avenue I was willing to pursue so I scoured the Internet and came across Hypnobirthing. I signed up immediately to the classes some 20 miles away and immersed myself in the philosophy and technique. My beautiful daughter was born in August 2007 and although I did require intervention, I fulfilled my desire not to have drugs and felt relatively in control for most of the labour. The moral of the story is that despite the complications, I knew it was possible to birth easily and safely and that I would achieve it next time round!

In 2009 I gave birth to my gorgeous son with whom I achieved the most wonderful calm, drug free, intervention free birth I had desired! As with my daughter the support from my Birthing Companion (my husband) was the foundation of my success. I was home from hospital the same day and felt fantastic.

These two experiences and my continued interest in pregnancy, labour, birth and babies inspired me to train as a Hypnobirthing instructor in April 2011. I really love the hypnobirthing. I have now been teaching for 8 years!

I have since given birth to my 3rd child using Hypnobirthing which was another wonderful experience (which certainly had some challenges!)

I believe that all women should be allowed to birth in the manner that they wants but these decisions should be made after all the facts (pros and cons) have been addressed. Women need to be supported in their choices and feel empowered by the knowledge/information they receive from their peers or antenatal educators.

In 2018 I took over The Calm Birth School and my desire is to spread the values of TCBS across the world to ensure that more and more women experience birth in a positive way!
