Hypnobirthing Practitioner Training – and Hypnobirthing Diploma

When training as a Hypnobirthing Teacher you want to know that the training you undertake is the training of choice for midwives, birth professionals, hypnotherapists and anyone else who is interested in joining this rapidly growing world. You want to know your investment in terms of time and money has been made sensibly and to your advantage. Learning KG Hypnobirthing fills all these criteria and much more. Our course is unique and we constantly adapt it to make sure all the information taught, is current and relevant.
KGHypnobirthing offers an in-depth teacher training course to help you become a hypnobirthing teacher. The course is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives as proof of the standard of training we offer.
The course includes an online Hypnotherapy for Hypnobirthing module and an online Birthing Foundation module. Once you have completed these, you will join us on our face-to-face Hypnobirthing Teacher Training (either in person in various locations across the UK, or virtually, via Zoom).
Being a KGHypnobirthing teacher is supremely satisfying. To be invited into a woman’s life at this special time of pregnancy, knowing that you are going to make it even better, is a huge privilege. We regard it as our responsibility to tell her everything we know to help her have the best possible birth. If we don’t, it’s possible that no-one else will.

Become a Registered Hypnobirthing Teacher – Receive the original hypnobirthing diploma

Hypnobirthing changes and empowers both the birthing person and their birth partner and has the most profound effect on the baby which will last a lifetime. Being able to teach with confidence the simplicity of a calm and confident birth to parents is a privilege and deeply satisfying.

The Demand for Hypnobirthing Practitioners is Growing

More and more midwives are referring couples to Hypnobirthing classes, and the demand for classes is growing – as is the demand for Practitioners able to teach these classes. This demand will continue to grow significantly over the next few years as the effectiveness of Hypnobirthing becomes increasingly recognised by the wider medical profession and it becomes more and more mainstream.

About the KG Hypnobirthing Diploma in Teacher Training

The course has been carefully developed as a comprehensive training course to provide you with the skills to become a Hypnobirthing Practitioner, holding a KG Hypnpbirthing Diploma and acceptance as a member of the Hypnobirthing Association. It equips you to teach expectant mothers in the techniques for a successful Hypnobirth for them and their babies.
The course is updated regularly to make sure it reflects the very latest thinking and understanding. We also build on all the positive feedback we receive from those who have already completed the course and have started teaching, as we see us all very much as a community, sharing our own experiences with each other.
We have developed an approach and methodology that is unique in the UK, and which is now being adopted and recognised internationally.
A team of highly qualified Teacher Trainers throughout the country ensures that you can do your KG Hypnobirthing Teacher Training Course at a centre, which is convenient to you. We even offer the course virtually, via Zoom, so you can learn in the comfort of your own home, wherever in the world that may be!
The core of your work as a Hypnobirthing Practitioner will be to give parents an experience that reduces fear and instead informs and empowers them to bring new life into the world with joy and contentment. It is much more than a few techniques for a mother to use while giving birth. It is a complete antenatal training programme.
When you read your first birth report from an elated and empowered mother, recalling a calm and confident birth with a serene baby, you will be thrilled. And you will continue being thrilled by every birth report you read, because every birth is unique and special.
