Childbirth Educator Training
Certified Childbirth Educator Training
Do you love birth and dream of helping women have empowering birth experiences?
Do you want to offer a variety of courses to meet your clients’ specific needs in pregnancy and childbirth?
The Mindfully Prepared Birth educator training and curriculum was created with families AND educators in mind. My deep desire is for families to have positive birth experiences and I want educators to feel confident and supported in their role as they teach families.
This an open and go curriculum—meaning once you learn how to teach the course, there is very little prep work for you. And with the busy lives we all lead, isn’t this what we all want and need?
Take look at the course outline. You will find it is a well-rounded and complete childbirth course—we even cover breastfeeding!
