Certified Healing Birth Practitioners
Listed here are the people who have completed the Healing Birth Practitioner Training programme. This is an intensive eight week course where Carla leads participants to dive deeply into the art and science of birth trauma support work. Graduates from the programme have been trained to provide birth healing services that stem from the same philosophy and knowledge-base that Carla's work does.
