why train to be an independant hypnobirthing pracitioner?

There are many different hypnobirthing techniques out there and they all work on the same principle – the more relaxed a person is during labour, the more the labour hormones are able to work effectively

However, training with other brands of hypnobirthing, usually requires you to teach their way, use their products and sell their downloads.  Many of them also charge a yearly fee for you to remain registered under their brand. There are no ongoing fees with this, the Mama Serene training programme.

This course has been designed specifically to train people who have a passion for childbirth, a longing to empower their pregnant clients with powerful and effective techniques for labour and are wanting to teach a course that aligns with their values and meets the needs of the clients they work with.

My aim is to encourage practitioners to develop a course that is clearly, authentically theirs, enabling them to incorporate existing skill sets, and help them to grow their brand and their business.
