Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy & Master Hypno-Doula

Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy & Master Hypno-Doula 

The Hypno-Doula Practitioner Diploma is a complete, full-spectrum birth education and hypnotherapy training programme. It will equip you to teach simple, powerful and deeply supportive tools that help parents approach pregnancy and birth with greater calm, confidence and connection.

Going far beyond traditional hypnobirthing, JOYBirth brings together clinical hypnotherapy, birth education, nervous-system regulation and trauma-informed care. You will develop the practical skills to support families throughout fertility, pregnancy, birth preparation and the essential fourth trimester.

Develop a Full Spectrum of Support

Hypnotic Birth Preparation

Learn how to teach self-hypnosis, focused relaxation, breathing techniques, anchoring and powerful mental rehearsal to help parents prepare for a calmer and more confident birth experience.

Fear Release and Emotional Resilience

Develop techniques to help clients work with fears, anxieties and limiting beliefs surrounding pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. You will learn how to support emotional regulation, confidence and personal agency without making promises about how an individual birth will unfold.

Fertility and Pregnancy Wellbeing

Learn approaches for supporting natural fertility, conception, pregnancy wellbeing, maternal identity, bonding and emotional preparation throughout each trimester.

Trauma-Informed Care

Develop the sensitivity and clinical awareness to support clients affected by previous birth trauma, pregnancy loss, medical anxiety, postnatal distress and other complex or emotionally challenging experiences.

Birth and the Fourth Trimester

Prepare parents for birth while recognising that their journey does not end when their baby arrives. Your training includes postnatal recovery, rest, sleep, emotional regulation, bonding, identity changes and adjustment to early parenthood.

Women’s Wellbeing and Sexual Freedom

Your learning also extends beyond fertility and birth to include menstrual-cycle challenges, pre-, peri- and post-menopause, women’s wellbeing and Sexual Freedom Hypnotherapy for both women and men—including confidence, intimacy, psychological barriers and common concerns affecting men’s sexual wellbeing.

Learn to Support Individuals and Groups

By completing the programme, you will develop the skills to:

• Facilitate Pregnancy Relaxation Classes

• Deliver the complete JOYBirth education programme

• Support clients individually and within groups

• Teach self-hypnosis, relaxation and breathing

• Help parents reduce fear and build confidence

• Adapt your approach to each client’s circumstances

• Work within clear professional and ethical boundaries

• Build a compassionate and sustainable professional practice

JOYBirth is about helping parents recognise their own strength, connect with their bodies and discover the joy and magic that birth can hold—while remaining flexible and emotionally prepared for their individual journey.

Additional Masterclasses and Bonus Training

Your course is accompanied by a carefully selected collection of my most useful and relevant masterclasses.

These provide additional demonstrations, specialist techniques and practical insights for students who are completely new to the work, as well as practitioners returning to refresh or expand their existing training.
