Description

This fun and informative English birth course is completely online. It includes teaching videos taught by our lovely midwives and experienced doula. There are interactive presentations, informative modules and a beautiful workbook that can be printed out to accompany the course materials and help you document your thoughts and preferences.

This course will help you prepare, be informed  and feel confident about the birth of your baby. 

Our teaching team has a unique combination of medical, psychological and practical knowledge providing a complete birth preparation package for you and your partner.

We know that pregnant couples giving birth away from their home country have a lot of questions about giving birth in Holland, and are often far from friends and family. The online version of our course will help to answer those questions and prepare you for giving birth away from your home country.

Wherever you live, this course is for you to prepare for your birth, in your own time and in the comfort of your own home.

The costs: €295

    Very handy and enlightening course. One of the most amazing aspects is the passion of the organizers (Elinor and Sophie) for their work which we appreciated a lot especially during these difficult times. They also prepared the online course very fast and the result was of high standards. Thank you!

    Susana C. and Francisco S. – 8 April 2020

    Me and my partner were eager to find a preparation course for birth as we are expecting our first child. In this first online edition of the ‘Confident Birth Course’, Elinor and Sophie provided the participants with documentation ahead of the live online sessions. Despite being a new format for this course, we felt that both the materials and online sessions were very informative and comprehensive and we now feel much more prepared and confident. All participants had the opportunity to pose their questions and share their concerns. This course met our expectations. In sum, we unreservedly recommend this course. Thanks!

      Thank you guys for this lovely review. It was so fun to have you on our first online course and zoom together 🙂

    Maria, Dimitris & baby (on the way!) (verified owner) – 14 April 2020

    Elinor & Sophie prepared the online course for the first time for our group in March 2020. The online course went very well. Both Elinor & Sophie answered all our questions, prepared & shared material we can read again & at our own pace, gave us very animated & truthful explanations on what to expect the hours before the delivery. Both me & my husband are used to working & collaborating remotely and we did not feel the online course missed something. We will be parents for the first time & this was a good, enlightening course for us. Thank you both!

    • Sophie Bos – 17 April 2020

      We are so happy you felt you didn’t miss anything by taking the course online. We enjoyed having you both.

    Expecting our first baby, my husband and I worried about what we might be missing out on by having to do the Confident Birth Course online rather than in person… Then came Elinor and Sophie to the rescue!! They both put so much effort and care in to making the online course no less valuable than what I expected from the face-to-face version! We’ve both come away feeling like we’ve learnt so much and are much better equipped and empowered for our birth journey. I would definitely recommend the course, probably more now than ever given the limited interactions we have to prepare us during this crisis time.
    Thank you Elinor and Sophie!

    Tatiana & Robert Jan (verified owner) – 25 May 2020

    We are expecting our first baby and even though my partner is Dutch, everything is new for both of us and the course really was helpful. After the course, we feel more confident and prepared to face this new adventure :). Sophie and Martha were well prepared for this online version and they explained everything really calmly and clear. They provided us with a lot of practical and valuable information that we will use for sure during these weeks, before the baby arrives. We highly recommend this course, specially to the new parents to be. Thank you Sophie and Martha!. Tatiana & Robert Jan
