Evidence-based childbirth education taught by Steph on the Mornington Penisula, VIC
About Calmbirth®
Calmbirth® is a 12-hour evidence-based childbirth education program that gives you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to approach birth calmly. Together, we'll explore how your body is designed to birth, learn breathing and relaxation techniques, understand labour and birth physiology, practise comfort measures, prepare your birth partner, discuss pain relief and interventions, and equip you to make informed decisions—so you feel prepared for whatever path your birth takes.
Calmbirth® is Australia’s most highly acclaimed, recommended, TRUSTED and scientifically proven childbirth education program in Australia. Calmbirth® was the first childbirth education program in Australia to recognise the interrelationship between the mind and body connection in birth – the connection and power between a woman’s emotional state and the way her body responds in birth.
Calmbirth® uses this mind-body connection to assist couples to replace the fear, stress and anxiety about giving birth with the knowledge and skills to birth their baby calmly, fearlessly, safely and confidently.
Among a wealth of evidence-based knowledge, you will learn Conscious Breath Techniques, Visualisation, Relaxation & Comfort techniques, Acupressure, Massage, Rebozo, Active Positioning and so much more!
The Calmbirth® program is suitable for first time or subsequent births; and for couples who’ve had a challenging birth experience and would like their next birth experience to be different. Calmbirth® embraces and accepts all pregnant couples regardless of their age, culture, socio-economic or sexual orientation.
