Course Description

Practitioner Trainer

Maggie Howell

I began Natal Hypnotherapy in 2001 after the wonderful birth of my first son through out which I used the self-hypnosis skills I had learnt during my Pregnancy. After a few very successful years teaching and helping many women, I began to teach my methods to midwives and other birth professionals in 2004. From there I had many requests for a complete practitioner training Programme so in 2006 I trained my first cohort of Practitioners. The course was then accredited by the Royal College of Midwives in 2008.Over the years I have had many requests from women all over the world wanting to train and so I decided to convert my full training Programme into this online course.I am really delighted to welcome you onto this course and to be a part of your journey to help many women and their partners have a wonderful birth experience.
