CPD Event title: Mindful Hypnobirthing Practitioner Training
Brief Description Of Event:
Hybrid
Mindful Hypnobirthing Practitioner Training is a weekend intensive for practitioners who want to work with pregnancy, birth and postnatally using hypnosis skills that are realistic about how birth actually unfolds. It’s hypnosis-led training that helps you support clients through fear, uncertainty, intensity, medical complexity, and the psychological load of modern maternity care, while staying evidence-informed and within scope. We’ll also explore the difference between mindfulness based approaches and how they differ from hypnosis.
You will learn practical hypnosis and imagery protocols you can use with clients preparing for all births: physiological, induced, assisted, planned Caesarean and unexpected twists. The training includes scripts, structured session frameworks, and resources you can implement immediately in 1:1 work or group settings.
Sophie is an experienced hypnotherapist and supervisor who has been working with women’s health and hypnosis for 20 years. She is the bestselling author of Mindful hypnobirthing, Mindful Mamma and Mindful Menopause. She has been training practitioners in hypnobirthing since 2008 and is also a doula.
Sophie also understands the importance of neurodivergent approaches not just to learning but also the impact of birth on neurodivergent clients. The structure of the course takes this into consideration and as we go through the hypnobirthing programme she is able to highlight areas that make a significant different to neurodivergent clients.
This course is RCM accredited and Doula UK approved.
You will get immediate access to the learning platform online and on an app. There are two options one where you do the training and get access to the platform for 12 months and the second where you can choose to 6 group coaching sessions and community support.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this training you will be able to:
• Confidently structure hypnotherapy-informed birth preparation sessions for your clients (assessment, formulation, language, tools, and home practice).
• Use hypnosis and imagery to reduce fear and threat responses, and increase calm, focus, hone decision making, reduce pain, tackle anxiety, fear and in pregnancy and birth preparation.
• Work skilfully with common themes: fear of pain, fear of loss of control, previous trauma, medicalisation anxiety, induction worry, partner dynamics, and “what if” spirals.
• Teach practical self-hypnosis tools clients can use in real time during labour and decision-making.
• Adapt your work ethically across different birth scenarios (including induction and Caesarean preparation) without promising outcomes you can’t control.
• Leave with ready-to-use scripts, tracks/resources, and a clear plan for offering this work as a niche.
