  • Become a Hypnobirthing Facilitator | Online Courses | Birth Prep In A Box

    Thinking of training to become a Hypnobirthing Facilitator? At Birth Prep In A Box, a sense of community is at the heart of everything! Birth Prep In A Box Uncomplicating Hypnobirthing Birth Prep In A Box is a fully comprehensive toolkit for Birth Preparation and Hypnobirthing practice. As the creator of BPIAB, I am proud to say that this toolkit is the only one of its kind. It offers a flexible, adaptable approach that can be tailored to the unique needs of each family, while also aligning with the preferences of those presenting the information. This toolkit is designed to flex for the needs of every learner but I find it is especially well-suited for neurodivergent families and facilitators, providing a clear, structured way to engage with the birth process without feeling overwhelmed. The core of BPIAB consists of 57 flashcards, each containing bite-sized nuggets of information on key topics. These cards are paired with explainer videos, audio descriptions, and in-depth resources, including evidence-based research, to support further learning and exploration. By focusing on simplicity and clarity, BPIAB truly uncomplicates hypnobirthing and birth prep. It offers trusted, reliable information without the confusion of contradictory advice you might find on the internet. Our community-driven approach sets us apart. We believe that no one holds all the answers. Instead, we encourage sharing knowledge, supporting each other, and fostering an environment of ongoing learning and growth. What’s Included? For just £450, you’ll receive: 12.5 hours of live, interactive Zoom training Full access to the complete BPIAB toolkit Ongoing support via regular meet-ups and our dedicated online community group No hidden membership fees — you only pay for a ‘Client Pack’ (£40) for each client you work with, making it completely cost-effective as your earnings cover all your costs. If you’re ready to become a BPIAB facilitator, keep reading below for more details, or don’t hesitate to reach out for a chat about how this course could support your work and benefit your clients.

But I will send you information on upcoming course dates and a cheeky discount as a thank you for taking the first step. Find out more How is Birth Prep In A Box Different? Birth Prep In A Box is the ONLY truly fully comprehensive birth preparation course that evolves to the way the individual learns best, and the way the facilitator shares best too - It flexes to both learning/teaching styles and budgets too. I originally created this Birth Preparation and Hypnobirthing course for myself and my own Doula clients back in 2021. Having seen how much of a positive impact it had on my own client's experiences of birth I began to make the full materials available to as many people as possible. So Birth Prep In A Box became an online course with the printed version available to purchase too (aka 'The cards), but we all know that one-2-one or in person learning is the gold standard here don't we?! Now here I am with a mission to make Hypnobirthing Facilitator training accessible to as many people as possible with a whole new approach, with the hope that these unbiased, evidence based birth preparation tools can find their way to as many families as they possibly can.

It was great to learn from other people in the birth world about what they do and embrace their knowledge. If you're considering becoming a hypnobirthing facilitator I can't recommend this course enough. It was very insightful and the ongoing community and support is incredible. I feel having the cards makes it so much easier to impart that information onto parents-to-be with consistency and concision, as well as allowing for more in depth discussion on each topic." Bonnie Norfolk Doula "This has been such a helpful resource for me as a doula! The course was great, and very reasonably priced compared to many other Hypnobirthing facilitator courses. It was lovely to build a network of other birth workers. The cards give me a structure to my birth preparation sessions, which has saved me so much time planning sessions. I am offering Hypnobirthing to my birth clients as well as a standalone course, and passing the small recurring cost of the package on to my clients. The cards are beautiful and my clients love having something to keep, and remind them of the key information we cover. I would recommend adding this to your tool kit to any Doula! 🌈💕" Thea Anderson IBCLC "Birth Prep In A Box is an incredible resource for families. It provides a wealth of knowledge across antenatal education, birth preparation and planning. It covers Hypnobirthing, through hypnosis and mindfullness education, as well as access to a variety of mp3 tracks to use. I am a doula and IBCLC and have been fortunate enough to train with Sarah, the creator of Birth Prep In A Box, to be able to offer this wonderful package of education and resources to my clients. It is an adaptable and flexible programme and can suit any family, in any situation, through any circumstances." Who is this course for?
