Calmbirth® - The Ultimate Antenatal Classes for a Calm and Empowered Birth Experience
Pregnancy and childbirth are some of the most transformative experiences in a woman's life. However, they can also be overwhelming, stressful, and even traumatic if not approached with the right mindset and preparation. That's where Calmbirth® comes in - Australia's most highly acclaimed and trusted childbirth education program that empowers expectant parents to have a calm, positive, and joyful birth experience.
Founded by Peter Jackson in 2004, Calmbirth® is based on the principles of mindfulness, relaxation, breathwork, visualization, and education. It aims to provide evidence-based information about pregnancy, childbirth physiology, pain management options (including natural methods), medical interventions (when necessary), postpartum recovery (for both mother and baby), breastfeeding support (if desired), emotional wellbeing (for both parents), bonding with your baby (from conception to infancy), parenting skills (including communication techniques) - all within a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
What sets Calmbirth® apart from other antenatal classes is its holistic approach that addresses not only the physical but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of birth. By learning how to relax deeply through guided meditations and breathing exercises; by understanding how your body works during labor; by exploring your fears or doubts about birth; by practicing effective communication with your partner or caregiver; by creating a personalized birth plan that reflects your values and preferences - you can feel more confident in yourself as a birthing person or support person.
Calmbirth® offers various formats for its classes: face-to-face workshops held over two days or four evenings at different locations across Australia; online courses accessible from anywhere at any time via desktop or mobile devices; private sessions tailored to individual needs or circumstances such as high-risk pregnancies or previous traumatic births. All classes are taught by certified Calmbirth Educators who have undergone rigorous training themselves.
The benefits of attending Calmbirth® classes are numerous:
- Reduced anxiety levels before birth
