SoundBirth Practitioner Training

Learn how to support expectant couples to use sound and voice with confidence for a calm, connected birth

SoundBirth Practitioner Training is a structured, mentoring-based experience for birth workers, sound healers and wellness practitioners who feel drawn to working with sound in the context of pregnancy and birth.

You’ll learn how to confidently weave SoundBirth tools — including crystal singing bowls and vocal toning — into your existing work, whether that’s through 1:1 sessions, workshops, birth preparation classes, or within the birth space itself.

Some people are drawn to supporting women before birth, helping them connect to their voice and feel more prepared.

Others integrate sound into their work as a doula or midwife, using it gently and intuitively during labour.

And some create entirely new offerings — workshops, circles, or retreats for expectant couples.

There is no one way to do this.

Throughout the training, you’ll be guided through a clear pathway with practical tools, presentations and resources — while also being supported to share SoundBirth in a way that feels natural and true to you.

At its heart, this work is about connection — helping women and their partners use sound and voice to feel more grounded, supported, and connected during birth.

If you’re curious about how this could fit into your work, you’re warmly invited to book a free chat.

SoundBirth Mentoring Program

The SoundBirth Story

SoundBirth began during the home birth of my third baby in 2009.

One of my crystal singing bowls was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. At some point, my mum intuitively picked it up and began to play.

Up until then, my contractions were becoming more intense… and I could feel the urge to make sound — to moan, to open my voice — but I held it back.

I felt self-conscious.

Even though I was surrounded by people I trusted — my midwife, my husband, my friend, my mum — I still felt inhibited. I had felt that way in my previous births too.

But as soon as I heard the sound of the bowl, something shifted.

Without thinking, I began to make sound with my voice… and almost instantly, I felt relief.

The room seemed to fade away.

All that was present was the sound — the bowl, my voice, and the space it created.

The contraction passed… and the sound faded with it.

I remember thinking, that changed everything.

From that moment on, I asked my doula to play the bowl through every contraction for the next five hours.

During my fourth birth, my birth team took turns playing the bowl — this time for nearly thirty hours.

It felt like the sound was holding me. Supporting me. Giving me something to move with, rather than resist.

That experience stayed with me.

Not as a technique… but as something deeply felt.

And from there, SoundBirth began to take shape — as a way of supporting women and their partners to use sound and voice during birth in a way that feels natural, connected, and deeply supportive.

Since then, these tools have been shared by doulas, midwives, partners and practitioners — in homes and hospitals — supporting women through labour in their own unique way.

This experience is what I now share through the SoundBirth Practitioner Training.

Testimonials

“It was so helpful, having the bowls there. I truly believe they helped me in opening up and relaxing like I’ve never relaxed before.”
Sandra Golaszewski. Midwife, Mother of 4
“After remembering to tone with the crystal singing bowl that my Mum was playing during each contraction for hours, I finally dilated from 3cm to 10cm within 30 mins! I'm extremely grateful that I was able to birth my baby naturally when everything was heading to having a c-section. ” Cailee Mansell, Mother of 2
“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. We did successfully dilate and I had the vaginal birth I was hoping for.” Tanya
“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.” Toni Cronk
“If a contraction had a sound it would be the sound of the Crystal singing bowl.” Midwife Anon

Inside the Training

The SoundBirth Practitioner Training is designed to be flexible and supportive, allowing you to move through the material in your own time.

The core training is delivered through a series of pre-recorded video presentations and resources, giving you the space to learn, reflect, and integrate the work at your own pace.

You’ll receive access to a structured pathway covering all aspects of SoundBirth, along with practical tools, exercises, and ready-to-use materials to support your learning.

Alongside the self-paced content, you’ll also be supported through:

Access to a private SoundBirth community space
Ongoing connection with other practitioners
Optional monthly Zoom sessions for questions, guidance, and deeper support

This approach allows you to fully absorb the work without pressure — while still feeling supported as you begin to integrate SoundBirth into your own practice.

Supporting You to Share SoundBirth

Alongside the training itself, you’ll receive a range of practical resources to support you in confidently bringing SoundBirth into your work.

These are designed to give you a strong foundation — especially if you’re new to working with expectant couples — while still allowing you the freedom to adapt everything in your own way.

You’ll receive:

Ready-to-use presentations for workshops and sessions
Guidance on how to structure 1:1 sessions and group offerings
Marketing and branding resources to help you communicate your work clearly
Ideas and inspiration for creating your own SoundBirth-based offerings
Ongoing support as you begin sharing SoundBirth with others

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you begin.

These resources are here to support you — so you can focus on connecting with people and sharing the work in a way that feels natural to you.

Becoming a Licensed SoundBirth Practitioner

As part of the SoundBirth Practitioner Training, you’ll be guided toward becoming a Licensed SoundBirth Practitioner.

Licensing ensures that those sharing SoundBirth with expectant couples have a clear understanding of the approach, and are able to hold this work in a way that feels safe, grounded, and aligned.

Pathway to Licensing

After you have completed the training, integrated the work personally, and gained some experience guiding others, we’ll connect for a final check-in to ensure you feel confident and supported to begin sharing SoundBirth in your own work.

Licensed practitioners are then able to:

Offer SoundBirth sessions and workshops
Use the SoundBirth name in their work
Be included in the SoundBirth Practitioner directory
Receive ongoing support and updated resources

This process is not about perfection — but about feeling confident, connected to the work, and ready to begin sharing it with others.

The training materials and resources are provided for your personal learning and integration, and are not intended to be shared or taught publicly until you are licensed.
