Gentle Birth Skills for Labour Ward Professionals

A practical clinical training programme for hospital midwives, labour ward nurses, and student midwives.

The workshop equips clinical staff with evidence-based techniques to support women through calm, physiological labour — drawing from clinical hypnotherapy, health psychology, and prenatal yoga.

Participants learn:

— Breathing and relaxation patterns to teach and reinforce during labour

— Language and communication that reduces fear and supports focus

— Self-hypnosis and focused relaxation techniques used in gentle birth approaches

— Body positioning, movement, and environmental adjustments for calm labour

— Working respectfully alongside women who bring their own birth preparation

— Maintaining clinical protocols while honouring a physiological birth approach

Format: Half-day or full-day, tailored to the unit's existing protocols and staffing patterns

Delivery: On-site at hospital maternity units.

Currently delivered by invitation to hospital maternity units in Singapore.
