"My first experience of calmbirth was when my partner and I went to Bowral for the weekend and took the classes with Peter Jackson. We both left feeling absolutely confident, prepared and free from fear. I completely trusted my body and couldn't wait until the day of my baby's birth.

When that day arrived I was able to work through each surge by using all of what we'd practiced and learnt at calmbirth, we worked together as a team and it was indeed a very joyful beginning for us all!

I am now a fully qualified calmbirth practitioner and have been teaching couples for the past 12 months. I am incredibly inspired to teach this work and feel honoured to share this wisdom.

As a doula I've experienced some amazing calm births, you really do acquire the skills needed to make this happen, calmbirth works!"

calmbirth® classes are held at the LifePod each month and run over two consecutive Sundays. Private sessions are also available upon request.

The cost of the course is $500 per couple and the price includes a calmbirth® booklet and 2 CD's to use as part of your preparation at home. To secure your booking you can either pay the full amount, $500 or two payments of $250

All calmbirth® practitioners have been through an intensive training with Peter Jackson, the founder of calmbirth® and believe strongly in a mothers ability to birth her baby naturally and gently.

I have to share this with you...the birth was AMAZING...I managed it without even thinking of any pain relief and my husband breathed through every contraction with me in the most loving supportive way.Luke popped out naturally and calmly after 7 hours.I can't thank you enough for sharing the calmbirth techniques with us.It made the world of difference and my beautiful, peacefulbirth experience is one I will treasure forever. - Caroline
