Welcome to the Birthing Wisdom training section
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 as well as the Holistic Birth Practitioner training there will be a new separate course, the Mother's circle holistic facilitator training, for women who want to facilitate pregnancy and postnatal groups. Having prepared many, many women and couples for birth and parenthood over the years, I have seen how crucial social support is during the childbearing year. The time is now right to make a difference. For more info or to register your interest in this training contact us.
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.
