The Positive Birth Program
The Positive Birth Program is a 2 day education program that offers you and your birth partner an empowering opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge and tools, ensuring you approach childbirth with confidence, clarity, and a sense of control over your options. Take the reins of your birthing journey and be the driver, not just a passenger along for the ride.
Over the course of two days, you will embark on a transformative journey combining Birth Education and Hypnobirthing. This dynamic duo forms the cornerstone of your birthing toolkit, empowering you with a positive mindset while shedding fears through the principles of hypnobirthing, and equipping you with essential birth education to confidently advocate for your desired birthing experience.
Our courses take place in intimate, small-group settings, fostering focused learning and personal connections. Held across various locations in the New England region of NSW, accessibility is prioritized for your convenience.
Pricing is inclusive, covering both you and your birth partner, all learning materials, along with refreshments to keep you energized throughout the sessions.
