- Communicate effectively with the women you support and other birth attendants
- Understand the physiology and hormones of birth and the principles of active birth
- Understand how breath and sound can benefit women in pregnancy and birth
- Understand the medical and obstetric procedures involved in birth, so that you can help women in your care to make informed choices
- Learn to be a baby advocate, developing a practice of supporting baby in pregnancy and birth as well as mum
- Supporting the relational aspect of birth
Once you have completed the first two modules, including case studies, assignments and sit-ins, you will be eligible to become a Relaxed Birth & Parenting Member for a monthly fee. Benefits of membership include website listing, branded marketing literature, advertising, PR, mentoring and CPDs.
