JOYBirth Education Programme (11 Modules)

The award-winning JOYBirth training is now an exclusive 11-module programme designed to transform you into a confident, highly skilled practitioner.

We go far beyond traditional hypnobirthing certification.

Your training begins with the clinical foundations of hypnotherapy, covering the first four modules of The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapy syllabus, ensuring you are supported by a strong clinical and ethical framework.

You will learn how to deliver the full JOYBirth programme and support clients with tools that are simple, powerful, and deeply transformative.

You will learn how to:

• teach self-hypnosis, relaxation, and breathing techniques

• help clients release fear and anxiety

• work 1:1 and in group settings

• support fertility, pregnancy wellbeing and postnatal hypnotherapy

• support grief, loss, miscarriage and birth trauma

• build a practice supporting parents from conception to postpartum

The JOYBirth Four Stages of Transformation

At the NCCH, we recognise that the journey to parenthood is not a 9-month event, it is a continuous transformation beginning at conception and culminating in the essential Fourth Trimester.

Your training supports the whole journey:

1. Natural Fertility & 1st Trimester

Affirmation, anchoring, nausea reduction, mindset and confidence building.

2. 2nd Trimester

Bonding, identity integration, deep self-hypnosis, calm connection.

3. 3rd Trimester

Fear release, hypnotic birth preparation, pain modulation, empowered readiness.

4. 4th Trimester

Specialised recovery support — sleep, anxiety prevention, emotional regulation, healing and bonding.

Your Study Timeline

This is a go-at-your-own-pace programme with an estimated completion time of 11 months.
