Teaching parents in the unique Mindful Natal® way

Your Mindful Natal® antenatal hypnobirthing course will focus on educating parents on the birthing process and their options so they can navigate all birth types and feel empowered to make the right choices for their individual circumstances.

You then provide science-based knowledge on hypnobirthing and mindfulness techniques so they can support their own mind and body throughout the process, however they meet their baby.

 

This is what we call the

Mindful Natal® power of 3:

Accredited and award-winning

The antenatal hypnobirthing courses are award-winning and have been featured on many media channels.

We work with a number of accredited external training providers to ensure our courses are fully inclusive and safe for everyone.

Earnings potential:

You may be looking to add Mindful Natal® courses to an existing support offering and earnings will be ad hoc. If you are looking to focus on Mindful Natal® teaching as a sole income earner, a teacher who is fully dedicated to marketing and driving their local business in the ways we recommend can expect to earn between £5,000 – £12,000 – £36,000 per year (after costs).

£5,000 OTE: Teaching 1 private course per month. Approximately 5 hours flexible per week for teaching and business development time.

 

£10,000 OTE: Teaching one group course or 2 private courses per month. Approximately 10 hours flexible per week for teaching and business development time.
£30,000 OTE: Teaching two group courses and two private courses per month. Approximately 25 flexible hours per week for teaching and business development time.

We are here to support your business from a brand and logistics perspective, but it is equally important that teachers put in the time and energy to marketing their business’ locally particularly through face-to-face networking and outreach to build a local presence. It is also key that courses are listed consistently at regular intervals to build and maintain the awareness of course availability.
