Calmbirth Course

*** PLEASE ONLY PAY THE DEPOSIT AT TIME OF BOOKING. As we continue to work within the confines of the Covid pandemic we remain hopeful that these courses will run face to face in Brunswick with adequate space between participants and precautions in place, however given the unknowns please be aware that this is not an absolute and may need to change to online according to Department of Health future recommendations. Full refunds (minus the booking fee) will be offered should this happen if you wish to cancel. If continuing online for both days the course cost will be reduced. Please only pay the deposit at this time.

****PLEASE ALSO ENSURE YOU FILL OUT THE ENROLMENT DETAILS THAT INCLUDES YOUR PARTNER’S/BIRTH SUPPORT’S DETAILS. This is a separate form you will be taken to when you click on the link.

Sue is an experienced birth educator and has been teaching calmbirth® pregnancy and birth preparation in Melbourne since 2005. She brings to her courses her thirty years of working with women and their families as a nurse, midwife and perinatal counsellor. Sue’s courses are inclusive of LGBTIQ+ couples.

The calmbirth® workshops draw on contemporary birth physiology and neuroscience giving couples a greater understanding of the birthing process whilst aiming to understand and reduce fear and anxiety. With greater knowledge and understanding, women and their partners are able to feel confident to make informed decisions around their birth choices.

The workshops combine an understanding of the birthing process, the hormones of labour and birth and practical skills for managing pain, sensations and challenges of labour, that include breathing, relaxation and visualisation techniques, positioning and massage. Life after birth and the transition to parenthood and the role of the partner/support is also emphasised.

The comprehensive course is complementary to all models of care – private or public, birth centre or home-birth and is not an alternative to the birthing choices you have already made. You will gain practical knowledge and skills whether this is your first or third baby, or hoping to achieve a vaginal birth after a previous caesarean (VBAC).

**Please note when booking to book only once (as this booking is for two people i.e. the woman who is birthing and partner/birth support attending with them) The booking system will initially ask for the woman’s name who is birthing. The partner’s/birth support’s details will be filled out on the enrolment form. Bookings are not able to be taken if more than 35 weeks pregnant at the start of the first class.
