By exploring the core principles of the mind-body connection and the clinical mechanics of calm, and a background in clinical hypnotherapy you will gain the confidence and clarity to decide if full certification is your next path.

Best of all, this foundation is immediately practical: upon successful completion, you will be equipped and certified to begin hosting your own Pregnancy Relaxation Classes.

This allows you to start supporting expectant parents right away, creating sanctuary spaces for deep rest and connection while you continue your journey toward becoming a fully qualified JOYBirth Practitioner.

On completion of this Foundation you can join our Joy Birth: Practitioner Diploma in Hypnotic Birth Preparation course and

What’s Next? Your Path to the Practitioner Diploma

Once you have completed your Foundation and experienced the transformative power of pregnancy relaxation, the natural next step is to deepen your expertise. We invite you to join the JOYBirth: Practitioner Diploma in Hypnotic Birth Preparation.

While the Foundation gives you the tools to facilitate calm, the Practitioner Diploma transforms you into a clinical expert capable of navigating the full spectrum of the birthing journey. This is where your foundational knowledge evolves into a sophisticated professional practice.

What the Diploma Covers

The Practitioner Diploma is an 10-module deep dive that moves beyond basic relaxation into advanced clinical applications. You will master:

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy Mastery: Advanced techniques to deconstruct the "Fear-Tension-Pain" cycle and reprogramme the subconscious for a positive birth experience.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Specialised training in supporting clients through complex scenarios, including birth trauma recovery, pregnancy loss, and PTSD.

  • Fertility & The Fourth Trimester: Holistic support that spans from natural conception and conscious connection in utero to physical and emotional restoration during the postpartum period.

  • Professional Practice Building: Comprehensive guidance on setting up an ethical, accredited practice, including insurance, registration with the BSCH and IHA, and business growth strategies.

  • The Hybrid Support Model: Gain the unique advantage of ongoing mentorship from both an experienced Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Midwife, ensuring your practice is clinically safe and psychologically profound.

By moving onto the Diploma, you transition from leading classes to becoming a highly skilled practitioner uniquely qualified to guide parents toward an empowered birth, regardless of the path their journey takes.
