Calmbirth® is a nationally recognised, childbirth preparation program designed to empower women and their partners by teaching them how to work with the body’s natural abilities and to relax into the birthing process. Once completed, participants will have a greater understanding of how the mind and body can work together during the various stages of birth, and what can be done to achieve a more rewarding and stress-free birthing experience.

Calmbirth® supports the belief that pregnancy, labour and birth are normal life events. One of the program’s objectives is to help release the fear, anxiety and tension that many women experience before and during childbirth. Calmbirth® aims to enable women and their partners to rediscover the wonder and joy of childbirth.  

The beauty of the program is that it guides couples towards how to work with their own natural abilities and resources to achieve a positive birth experience. If intervention is required, Calmbirth® skills can be put into practice so couples can meet any challenge calmly and without fear. Women who are confident and relaxed during birth have a much easier time birthing their babies.  

Calmbirth® recognizes the role of the birth partner as vitally important during this prenatal time. During the Calmbirth® classes, both mother and birth partner will learn techniques of relaxation, breathing and visualisation; skills which can also be practised during pregnancy and greatly assist both partners to remain calm and relaxed during the birthing process. A calm mother and partner can lead to a calmer baby and the skills obtained in the classes make an enormous difference to the baby during pregnancy, labour and post-natally.  

Couples are empowered to take control of their own birthing experience as they welcome their babies into the world with a sense of calm, confidence and joy. What better start could a family ask for at the beginning of such an amazing journey?
