“A pregnant woman is participating in an event
of miraculous significance.
She is bringing into existence a new life that did
not exist before"
Elena Tonetti Vladimirova
Welcome
to the Birthing Wisdom website
You will find here information on courses for women
who want to practice as Birth and Postnatal Doulas/
Companions, Childbirth Educators or Mothers'
Circles facilitators.
Birthing
Wisdom
offers the most in-depth and comprehensive Holistic
Birth practitioner course in the UK. It doesn't
just impart up-to date essential knowledge and
skills: for many women the course is also a journey
of self-discovery, of delving deeply into the
feminine and into 'Presence', developing the
necessary qualities to successfully support women
and couple through the journey of pregnancy, birth
and early parenthood. Read our
student's
words
for a flavour of the experience.
This year the
Holistic Birth
Practitioner training
will include preparing women to facilitate
pregnancy and postnatal groups. Having prepared
many, many women and couples for birth and
parenthood over the years, and seen how crucial
social support is during the childbearing year, the
time is now right to make a difference. This new
module is also available as a separate training.
Birthing Wisdom
is committed to help create support networks for
pregnant women, couples and birth practitioners.
Birthing
Wisdom
is more than a set of tools or skills, it is an
approach to Birth and to Life. Before you consider
joining one of our courses, read more about our
approach
here.
The circumstances of birth play an important role in creating a disposition to violence and self-destructive tendencies or to loving behavior and healthy interpersonal relationships; thus changing birth practices to kinder and gentler ones would have a huge impact on the degree of violence acted out in the world.
