Practitioner Training

One Day or Two

You are welcome to attend just one day- fertility or birth. It is also ok if you have qualified in another company’s programme but still want to attend both days and make use of the Fertility2Birth structure.

A Fresh Hypnobirthing Practitioner Training & Hypnofertility Practitioner Training

We have many practitioners on our courses that have already taken another hypnobirthing practitioner training but find that it doesn’t work for them. Perhaps they do not like that they have to pay an annual subscription fee. Some find their currant programme too prescriptive and they would like something that they can personalise towards their clients. Others find that the programme they have already trained in does not fit the nationality of the clients that they are working with. And some dislike having to purchase more material from the company they trained with for each new client. If it is the case that your current programme is not suitable for all of your clients please contact us for further information.

We give you wings

Firstly we do not tie you to us. Unlike many other Hypnobirthing practitioner trainings we believe in giving our practitioners wings and then letting them fly. Many other training schools will demand annual subscription fees and take a percentage of all practitioner earnings. We only give- once you are qualified you will have a listing on our website for as long as you wish. We offer ongoing support and the option to buy copies of Hypnobirth Yourself at a reduced rate. You can add to your income by selling to clients, or give away with your hypnobirthing package.

Originally, we wrote the fertility2birth program because we were not happy with the qualifications in birthing and fertility that we had achieved. We did not like the fact we could not personalise the course structure to suit each individual client and also did not feel the structure of some of the course was full enough.

It is a requirement of many other organisations to make you purchase course material from them for each of your clients, this means extra cost to you, and extra income for them. At Fertility2birth we do not ask this of you, we teach you the tools needed to produce your own. We also provide you with the necessary contacts to do this. This makes it more cost effective and allows you to be in charge of how you work with clients.

Hypnobirthing

We want the hypnobirthing section of the course to be a complete birth education programme, not just about hypnosis, and because of our experience in birth support this is possible. What you will find with the fertility2birth is an amazingly successful hypnobirthing course that you can tailor around each of your clients. If you feel that it is sufficient as it is you can simply follow the course structure outlined in a very simple format for easy use. However if you feel a client would benefit from something extra, or you feel there are parts irrelevant to a particular client, you can choose to change the structure to something you find more suitable.

Although we can provide you with pre-recorded audios to give to your clients we encourage you to record your own using the scripts provided. Some of our practitioners even encourage the birthing partner to record the audio so it is personalised to each client. This eliminates the problem of language barriers or use of words that are common in another country but not here.

Our programme is straightforward, there is not much that the couples need to remember or do just a few techniques that help so much! It is beneficial to remember that a pregnant woman may still have to work full time until just a few weeks before she gives birth. This can mean that time is a constraint. Our programme does not require the couples to spend hours at home on ‘homework’. Therefore the most important things are practised daily getting the amazing results we so enjoy.

Fertility

Our fertility program can be used for clients experiencing unexplained fertility or for clients with a medical condition. It can be used for clients trying to conceive naturally or clients undergoing medical intervention. Along with the course process you will receive lots of information on IVF, the procedure that is used and many statistics so that you have a full understanding of what your client is experiences.

The only thing we ask for if you wish to study for the fertility practitioner qualification is a good understanding of hypno analysis (regression). If you are unfamiliar with this please still contact us as we may be able to help you.

It’s worth noting that the success rate of IVF can be increased from under 20% to over 50% using hypnosis. We teach you the tools to help your clients get the pregnancy they so deserve. However it is about much more than just falling pregnant. Couples experiencing infertility often feel that it has taken over their life. They are not happy in any way and really need some help to get back on track. Many of our clients do manage to conceive with our help but the ones that continue to try and conceive always leave our office happy with their life.

If you’re not a hypnotherapist, you can still take our hypnobirthing practitioner training & hypnofertility practitioner training.

When we first started running our hypnobirthing teacher training courses in 2010 it was really only hypnotherapists that we worked with. Hypnobirthing was an extra string to the bow of a hypnotherapist. It wasn’t long before we penned an add on day course for the non-hypnotherapist that wanted to study with us and we would tag that day either side of the hypnobirthing practitioner training days.

Excitingly we have now found a way to teach everybody without separation. Our courses bring together hypnotherapists, birth professionals, doulas, those wishing to switch career or create a new career and those with a passion for birth. We have even trained a couple of soon to be Grandmas that have been asked to be birth partner and want to take on the role of hypnobirthing teacher alongside birth partner. If you feel that you would like to train with us, please do Please contact us for more information as there is definitely a space for you.

It’s up to You

This really depends on you. We do not specify a price for you to charge that of course is up to you. Sometimes geographical location can make all the difference. This is something that we cover in our hypnobirthing practitioner training days. The answer to the question really does vary. It depends on many things including the area of the country and whether you are holding a group class or a private class. More importantly though it depends on what you feel comfortable charging.

Expectations

We expect the range to be between £200 and £600 but we am sure there are some teachers that charge less and some that charge more. When you join us for the hypnobirthing practitioner course we can discuss all of the aspects of supporting couples that you need to take into account when setting your fee. We believe that every pregnant woman should take our HypnoBirth course. Using Hypnosis to help with labour has been shown to reduce the length of the first stage of labour by hours, and the second stage from an average of 50 minutes to 37 minutes.

The Market

Infertility affects over 7 million couples in England alone. We can help those couples to fall pregnant before they are forced to seek medical help. We can also help whilst they are undergoing fertility treatment. Hypnosis can increase IVF success rates from under 20% to over 50%! Couples suffering from infertility welcome anything that can help. We believe that every pregnant woman should take our hypnobirthing course. Using Hypnosis to help with labour has been shown to reduce the length of the first stage of labour by hours, and the second stage from an average of 50 minutes to 37 minutes.

Popularity

More and more people are using hypnosis to aid birth in the UK, thanks to exposure in both local and national media. It is believed that The Duchess of Cambridge used hypnobirthing for all three of her pregnancies. We get many recommendations from local midwives and other birth practitioners. When you become attend our hypnobirthing training day we will equip you with the ability to connect with others around you that work with pregnant women. Many birth workers recommend hypnobirthing to the pregnant women they see, so providing you network you will find many people seeking your services. Many of our practitioners find that connecting with other birth workers in their area enriches their life in more ways than just one. You can join a wonderful community of people bringing important change to such a relevant part of life.

Without these connections you will still find many people wanting to take your course. Hypnobirthing is now accepted as a normal part of birth preparation.

The Short Answer!

This is a question we are often asked. The short answer is no! The course is accepted for advertising by the hypnotherapy directory and the Hypnotherapy Society. If you are a  hypnotherapist you will know that the profession is not regulated and all associations are merely set up by someone like you or I! The only place we have considered getting accreditation from is the Royal College of Midwives however having looked into this we have some reservations.

Benefit of Hypnobirthing Practitioner Training & Hypnofertility Practitioner Training Registration 

Firstly the benefit of registration for us is simply that the course will be listed on their website as CPD for midwives. We have midwives attending our course anyway so do not feel that we need to do that. It seems slightly ironic that a midwife with no hypnosis knowledge can accredit a course that is hypnosis based! We would also have to pay £500 per year for this privilege. We don’t as yet see it as a benefit for either ourselves or our practitioners so haven’t registered with the RCM.

Other Practitioners

Other practitioners have set up their own associations but it doesn’t mean anything! They just charge people for the pleasure of being listed on their website. This is absolutely their prerogative however having been registered with hypnobirthing associations for a number of years ourselves we chose to leave because it wasn’t benefiting us only costing us! We find it more beneficial to put time, money and effort into getting out there in the real world, meeting people, making contacts and finding business that way. We have close relationships with our local midwives, doulas and birth practitioners. It is our practice, experience and practitioners that accredit our course.
