Certification / Re-Certification Requirements

 

  • Attendance at a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner Certification Workshop does not automatically equate to Certification.  Each candidate must submit a successfully completed Review of the Program following the course.
     

  • Certification includes a listing on our on-line referral system, a copy of our quarterly newsletter, an opportunity to attend our annual educational conclave, and regular updates.
     

  • Only persons holding current certification with the HypnoBirthing® Institute may use the registered trade name HypnoBirthing® and the logo in  promotional and teaching materials.
