Calmbirth® Workshops
Group Class
Learn all about Calmbirth®, Australia’s most acclaimed, recommended and trusted childbirth education program.
Calmbirth® was the first childbirth education program in Australia to recognise the inter-relationship between the mind and body in birth. There is a powerful connection 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 give birth calmly, fearlessly, safely and confidently.
