SoundBirth for
​Doulas and Educators

Add the POWER of SOUND to Birth!

Discover how YOU can use simple sound tools to support women before, during and after the birth!

"It was by far the best natural pain relief I had experienced". Angela, Mother of 3
"If a contraction had a sound, it would be the sound of a crystal singing bowl". 
Midwife who attended a SoundBirth
"I was able to “get in the zone” to focus and visualise full dilation, in spite of the pressure and hospital sounds that were going on around me". Tanya

Why Women and Birth Pros are Using Sound During Childbirth?


  • to release pain ... naturally​
  • to overcome anxiety and fear around giving birth
  • to release those birthy hormones (oxytocin, endorphins etc) ... naturally!
  • to bond with their baby even before the birth!
  • to ride the contractions, rather than drown in them!​
  • to increase energy levels even when feeling exhausted​
  • to release those happy hormones while transitioning into Motherhood!
  • to create a "birthing cave" and sacred space no matter where the woman decides to give birth
  • to give partners an active role to play to support their woman and to connect with the birth process.​​

WHY TRAIN WITH ME?
There are a number of reasons!!
  • I created SoundBirth! No one else teaches this modality! 
  • I've had 4 home births myself and attended a few hospital and home births as a doula (teaching SoundBirth to couples and doulas is my thing...not attending births!)
  • I have attended the DONA Doula birth and post-natal training.
  • I have a Bachelor of Music degree!
  • I am passionate about giving women the tools and opportunity to have a natural birth where possible.
  • I have always been interested in the power of music and sound.
  • Because I LOVE to teach!
  • SoundBirth is an approved module through IICT (International Institute of Complimentary Therapies) and I will also be applying to be an IICT approved trainer in March 2019 so that my trainings will also be approved.
  • I am also currently applying for the ACM CPD Recognition which will hopefully be approved before this training commences!​
I look forward to sharing SoundBirth with you!
