Who this course is for

Those looking to diversify their skills or tap into a growing market, such as therapists, physios, and wellness professionals wanting to support mothers in a new and meaningful way.
This course is not for
-
Those who prefer old-fashioned, or rigid approaches to baby care that no longer reflect the realities of modern parenting.
-
Those looking for training built on decades-old methods rather than up-to-date, evidence-based, gentle, and responsive care.
-
Those who align with more traditional, hierarchical models of parenting, rather than supporting families with empathy, respect, and partnership.
-
Those who want instruction from organisations who haven’t evolved with today’s parents, today’s challenges, or today’s mental health needs.
-
Those who can’t dedicate the time to study and build the skills needed to safely and confidently support families.
-
Those who struggle to offer emotional support, compassion, or non-judgmental care during vulnerable moments.
-
Those seeking a quick certificate rather than genuine competence, confidence, and readiness to work with real families.
