Train to be an Evidence Based Birth Instructor

Thofe Evidence Based Birth® Instructor program will start accepting registrations as of August 15, 2018.

I have learned more about birth and the issues in maternity care in the last year than I have in decades. Being an EBB Instructor is rewarding and will stretch you.

Allison Thompson and I are EBB Instructors in Toronto and it is our goal to create a thriving community of colleagues who will work together to create the change that women are asking for as well as what the research supports.

There will be several live Q & A webinars, where Rebecca Dekker explains the program and answers questions. You can register for the day/time that works for you by signing up here: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/instructor-program-webinars/

If you want to attend a Q & A about the Instructor program but can't make a live session, simply register for one of the webinars and the video replay will automatically be sent to your email address. Attending the Q & A webinar is not required if you want to apply, but you are strongly encouraged to view one of them as there is quite a bit of information provided.

Have you ever worried about how you’re going to…

Stand up for what you want, all while talking respectfully with your providers
Increase your chances of getting your birth plan followed
Get past a traumatic birth in the past and have a better experience this time around
Set yourself up for the easiest birth scenario possible given your unique circumstances

You’re not alone in feeling like this…

Whether you’re a first time mom, or you didn’t have a positive experience with your older child’s birth, it’s common to feel anxious that you’re not going to get the birth you want!

Many expecting parents tell us that they worry a lot about who or what they might confront during childbirth.

BUT it doesn’t have to be that way for you!

As an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, I am here to help ensure that you have the local support, knowledge and empowerment they need to take ownership of your birth.
