Empowering you to birth with confidence
Evidence-based prenatal education taught by Regina Power in Berry, NSW.
The Calmbirth® Program
Calmbirth® is a 12-hour, face-to-face antenatal program taught over two days, designed to prepare you emotionally, physically and mentally for birth. More than a class, it's a proven approach that helps you tap into your natural instincts and build confidence.
Through evidence-based techniques, you learn to manage stress, release fear and work with their bodies, their babies and their partners as well as their care teams across a range of birth experiences.
What You Will Learn
Comprehensive preparation for your transition into parenthood.
Understanding the Psychology of Birth
How your mental state, thoughts and beliefs leading up to and on the day, not only influence your experience of birth, but also the way your body works with labour and birth. A mother who understands how her body works and how to work with the process is empowered to make choices from a place of confidence and knowledge.
The Physiology of Birth
The four stages of labour, how your body prepares itself to give birth and how you can work with the process.
Tools to Work with Birth
Techniques and practical skills: visualisations, meditation, massage, acupressure, and other valuable comfort measures to make your birth journey easier.
The Role of Your Partner
Defines the partner's role and practical support—emotional and physical. Calmbirth® gives partners their own birth toolbox to work together as a team.
Preparation for All Birth Journeys
Working with intervention, C-section or previous birth trauma.
Conscious Parenting
Prenatal bonding, skin to skin contact and postnatal connection. Setting realistic expectations and planting the seed for the transition to parenting.
Self Care
Learning the importance of self care during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period.
Release Fear & Anxiety
Understand the psychology of birth and how to shift from a state of fear to one of calm and focus through specific breathing and relaxation techniques.
Partner Toolbox
Specific skills for partners to provide meaningful support and stay connected during every stage of labor.

Regina Power
Certified Calmbirth® Educator (2006)
Certified Doula
Masters of Counselling
Calmbirth® came into my life while supporting women as a birthing doula. I was blessed to see firsthand the positive birth outcomes of couples who had prepared using Calmbirth®. After attending a Calmbirth® class as the birth partner of a dear friend, I was inspired to learn more. In 2006 I was fortunate to be one of the first teachers trained by the program's founder, Peter Jackson.
For twenty years, I've had the honour of guiding hundreds of couples as they release fear and embrace the strength, wisdom, and deeply personal journey of birth, no matter how their unique experience unfolds. My own experiences bringing my children, Maia and Kiran, into the world only strengthened my faith in the incredible design of women's bodies and the transformative potential of a well-prepared birth.
As a Certified Calmbirth® Educator, Qualified Doula, and Master of Counselling, I combine professional expertise with genuine, compassionate care. I believe preparation is key to increasing levels of satisfaction and confidence in every birth journey, and it's my greatest privilage to share the knowledge and tools that help you approach birth feeling calm, self-assured and empowered.
