Passionate about supporting expectant parents to have a physiological birth?

Curious about how complementary therapies can enhance your midwifery practice?

Research shows that complementary therapies can support expectant parents to achieve a physiological birth, reduce the “cascade of intervention” and increase job satisfaction for midwives.

Expectancy’s trail-blazing courses have taught midwives across the globe the essential skills required to use complementary therapies in their practice. Join us on one of our flagship courses, and discover how to use complementary therapies effectively and safely, in NHS or private midwifery practice, in the UK and overseas.

‘I feel so empowered to be able to provide this service for women in my care. I have learnt so much and cannot wait to get into practice and implement these new skills!’

Want to work for yourself but not sure how to make the move to self-employment?

We provide midwifery-specific training and support to set up your own business, helping you to avoid costly financial, professional and even legal mistakes when moving from the NHS into the private sector.

Join our ‘Endorsed by Expectancy’ midwives and combine complementary therapies with business preparation. Or become an Associate Member via our Certificate in Midwifery Business Studies (suitable if you want to offer other midwifery services).

With training, regular webinars and networking with like-minded midwives already in private practice via our Expectancy Community, you’ll find all you need to continue working with expectant parents whilst gaining a better work-life balance.

‘I qualified with a Diploma in Midwifery Complementary Therapies in 2021. I absolutely loved it! I am now running my own business alongside a colleague who studied at the same time. We both joined the Licensed Consultancy which has been invaluable. Denise and her team are so supportive and always there to guide us on any clinical issue we have. Be wary though, once you’ve done one course, you’ll be hooked!’

- Angela Westley, Inverness
