What is Calmbirth®

Calmbirth® is a childbirth preparation program developed by Midwife Peter Jackson. It was developed to educate and empower pregnant couples so that they may experience pregnancy, labour and childbirth with the tools necessary for the most positive outcome.

how women can work with their body and baby in labour and not resist it
to access their inner resources to alleviate the fear, anxiety and tension experienced during pregnancy, labour and childbirth
the importance of a mother’s beliefs and attitudes about birth and how these can be one of the major differences between a positive or negative birth experience
