HypnoBirthing is now in 46 countries with fully certified and trained professional Gold Seal Educators assisting couples in their desire to have a normal, calm and positive birth.
With intervention rates at an all time high in Australia, couples are seeking support from health professionals that trust birth and women’s ability to birth as nature intended. Building a strong network and community that works together, will allow families to focus on positive birth outcomes, and impact our ‘toward normal birth’ focus.
