What is SoundBirth?
SoundBirth originated during my third home birth in 2009 when my Mum instinctively began playing one of my crystal singing bowls that was in the corner of my bedroom.
The timing was perfect as my contractions were intensifying, and I was feeling the urge to vocalise due to the intensity, but I was embarrassed to make any noises in front of everyone (midwife, husband, friend, Mum...). I had experienced self-consciousness and inhibition during my previous two home births as well.
However, as soon as the sound of the bowl filled the room, I found myself vocalising more, which brought significant relief. The room and everyone in it faded away, leaving only the harmonious sounds I was creating with the bowl.
As the contraction eased, so did the sound of the bowl.
I was astonished by the dramatic reduction in my anxiety and pain levels!
From that point forward, I directed my doula to play the bowl during every contraction for the next five hours... and during my fourth labor, my birth team alternated playing the bowl, this time for around 30 hours!
The sound of that remarkable bowl provided the support and strength I needed to deliver my babies.
From that moment, I was determined to share this tool with expectant couples and birth professionals worldwide, to give them the chance to experience a “SoundBirth” as well.
Since then, SoundBirth tools have been utilised by doulas, midwives, and partners in home births and hospitals across Perth, WA, and globally, offering comfort and support to women during labor.
Listen to me discuss SoundBirth below!
“I never thought, "I can't do this" or "I need drugs" or "take me to the hospital" because the bowl kept me present and grounded. I felt safe and calm during the contractions. I truly believe without the crystal singing bowl my labour would have been unbearable. I am generally an over thinker but as I said the bowl and toning gave me a singular present focus. I also love the sound the crystal singing bowl makes.”
–Toni Cronk
"I turned my yelling into deep, open toning sounds when my Mum was playing the SoundBirth bowl in the hospital room. I felt a bit embarrassed but once I realised how the sounds and bowl was masking the pain for me, I felt empowered to use my voice no matter what the others in the room thought about it.

5 Benefits of Having a SoundBirth
Women often feel safer, more confident, and more at ease when using their voices accompanied by the resonant tones of a crystal singing bowl.
SAFE AND UNINHIBITED
When a bowl is played in time with a woman’s contractions she feels heard and connected no matter where she ends up giving birth. Plus, it gives the partner a supportive role to play in the birth process!
CONNECTION
Uninhibited vocalisation relaxes and opens the larynx which in turn relaxes and opens the cervix. When the cervix is relaxed it can prevent tearing and assists with dilation.
OPEN LARYNX, OPEN CERVIX
The resonant, pure sound of a crystal singing bowl gives a birthing woman something to focus on rather than pain, or unhelpful thoughts.
DISTRATION FROM PAIN
When a woman uses her voice without inhibition, she experiences the physical benefits such as lower blood pressure, less pain, increase in oxygen, release of oxytocin, endorphins, melatonin, serotonin and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Each packages includes access to ALL of the online courses that I have created and will create in the near future. Each module/course includes downloadable PDFs, video presentations, audios, homework and resources. I will let you know when I have completed creating a new one so you can start learning ASAP
SoundBirth Bowl
To offer “SoundBirth” you will need a “SoundBirth Bowl which is a 99.99 % quartz crystal singing bowl that I have decided is the ideal size (not too heavy) and pitch (not too high or too low) for vocalising with. You bowl includes a soft carry case, mallet and o-ring and will arrive at your doorstep (within Australia) within 2-3 weeks. This is included in the “Ultimate” and “Basic + Bowl” packages.
Community
Gain access to myself and any new links, resources or videos that I create along the way, as well as being able to connect with a community of other SoundBirth students and those who are already offering the SoundBirth tools in their business/work with expectant couples.
Zoom Calls
Each month you will be able to submit questions in the membership site about the training or anything related to integrating sound and music into your work with expectant couples and/or new families. These will be via Zoom and recordings will be available.
Resources
Gain access to resources such as downloadable workbooks, audios, links and extra videos that you can use with your couples and families to educate and support them before, during and after the birth.
Directory Listing
After completing the training (in your own time) and being approved by me after a 1:1 Zoom call, you will be listed on the SoundBirth Directory and become a SoundBirth affiliate so we can share the SoundBirth message together!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to own a SoundBirth Bowl?
To offer a "true" SoundBirth experience YES you do! Plus, if someone is seeking a trained SoundBirth Doula, I would like them to know that you will definitely own the SoundBirth Bowl. The bowl is included in the "Basic and Bowl" and "Ultimate Support" packages. But if you want to purchase one later that's ok too!
Can I complete the training in my own time?
Yes, you can! I understand everyone is busy, so I don't want to put extra pressure on you. I also trust that when you feel ready you will complete the training so you can then start offering "SoundBirth" in your packages.
Do I need to complete ALL of the online courses in order to start offering SoundBirth?
In order to call yourself a Trained SoundBirth Doula you need to complete the first course "SoundBirth Professional Training". All of the other courses are optional. Then you can also apply for insurance with IICT and I will list you on the SoundBirth Directory.
Do I have to be a trained birth worker?
If you want to attend births professionally, you will need to do some kind of birth or doula training as this course does not include such details. BUT if you just want to educate and prepare expectant couples 1:1 or in a workshop/group setting so they can then go ahead and have a SoundBirth, you can! This is ideal if you are a sound healer or ex birth worker or postpartum doula and want to add "SoundBirth" to your work!

About Nicole
I have a life-long passion for using music and sound as a tool to support people throughout their life journey. This along with my Classical Music background B(Mus) led me to creating SoundBirth in 2011 after the birth of my third daughter where I noticed that using my voice while being accompanied by a crystal singing bowl eased the pain, helped me stay calm and focused and allowed me to experience a powerful and natural birth.
I believe that ANYONE can learn how to share sound and musical tools with others, even with no musical background! Nothing gives me more joy than seeing people tap into their innate musicality and then sharing these tools with others!
Now it’s YOUR turn to start sharing this beautiful and effective tool with the world!
