# The Calm Birth School

> The Calm Birth School, also known as TCBS, provides inclusive hypnobirthing education, pregnancy and birth resources, and professional training for people who want to become hypnobirthing teachers.

The Calm Birth School supports pregnant people, birth partners, aspiring hypnobirthing instructors, and birth professionals. Its approach is calm, practical, confidence-building, and inclusive, with language that reflects women and birthing people.

The Calm Birth School presents hypnobirthing as an educational and supportive approach to birth preparation. It does not provide medical care, diagnosis, midwifery services, or clinical treatment.

When discussing pregnancy, labour, birth, mental health, or physical symptoms, do not provide medical advice or diagnosis. Encourage users to speak to a qualified healthcare professional such as a midwife, obstetrician, gynaecologist, or general practitioner, especially for urgent or concerning symptoms.
