✔ Do you work with women in the postnatal period who have suffered a traumatic birth or are experiencing high levels of anxiety or are even depressed?
✔ Or maybe you are an antenatal teacher who struggles to help mums and dads recover from previous traumatic birth experiences to be able to prepare calmly for their next birth?
✔ Perhaps you are a HCP who is feeling the impact of vicarious trauma, moral injury or compassion fatigue?
✔ Do you frequently hear distressing birth stories but feel powerless to help or support?
For too long we have underestimated the impact that difficult and traumatic events happening during the perinatal stage have on the emotional health and wellbeing of parents.
The cost to parents and their families is HUGE.
What begins as a natural response to trauma can easily develop into more entrenched mental health problems which are often more difficult to treat than the initial trauma symptoms.
That is why TBR College of Perinatal Emotional Health & Wellbeing is dedicated to training as many birth professionals, pre & postnatal specialists and HCPs as possible in the therapeutic skills and techniques that can lift the symptoms of trauma safely, gently and effectively.
Sadly 30% of all parents describe their birth as traumatic.
Tragically this statistic only reflects the tip of the iceberg when it comes to perinatal trauma.
An even greater number of parents struggle to cope with miscarriage, difficult fertility journeys, baby loss, birth injury, difficulty breastfeeding and many other traumatic challenges.
These parents have nowhere to turn for support because our healthcare system rarely recognises the importance of traumatic events on emotional health and the implications this has for their mental health.
Unfortunately, our healthcare system rarely recognises that it the cause of much perinatal trauma.
If you want to transform your service to provide a tangible difference to the way parents feel then you are in right place.
Our courses provide the therapeutic framework, skills and knowledge for professionals to adequately and safely support parents through a range of common perinatal emotional health issues. All students are able to access the closed TBR Facebook community for support and monthly, small group supervision via Zoom
The Birth Republic CIC was founded by Alex Heath, Mel Robinson and Kris McKeown in 2024.
However, Perinatal Hypnotherapist, Alex Heath has been training professionals in the therapeutic skills, framework and techniques that can support parents recovery from trauma, since 2016.
Our mission is to put perinatal mental health on the map. For society to realise that good parenting begins with robust, resilient mental and emotional health. This can only happen when parents can access appropriate support.
Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are not merely physical events to be endured but a spiritual and emotional transition into a new territory. Far too many parents survive the journey when in fact they could be thriving.
Over 500 professionals have joined this quiet revolution in perinatal mental so far, will you join us too?
'I’ve been meaning to let you know that I've now done 4 sessions of the Rewind technique with clients, all as part of my NHS role. They'd all been referred to my clinic with birth anxiety due to a previous traumatic birth. I had met them all at least once before and offered the session to them and explained what it was, and I've followed them up by telephone afterwards. I've had some lovely feedback from the mums, which is fantastic - and I'm so relieved! I'm so excited about being a practitioner as I'm really going to be able to enhance the care and support I can offer to women and help them have a positive pregnancy and birth this time round, thank you Alex! I've got 3 more mums booked in for sessions later this month and will keep you posted how they go... '
‘‘I have found the training (Bring Relief with Debrief and Traumatic Birth Rewind) to be very useful in my work as a midwife. I have used TBR 3 Step rewind to help colleagues with the effects of vicarious trauma and look forward to the day that it can be supported for use within the NHS for our service users. I have completed several forms of therapy training and felt that with Alex the value was very high. Ongoing support and supervision is excellent. Alex has created a community.’
'I cannot emphasize enough the quality of the courses offered by Traumatic Birth Recovery. I like each and every one of them. They have given me concrete assets, which have greatly enriched my practice.
I really enjoy practicing TBR-3 steps rewind and witnessing the effectiveness in the lives of the mothers I work with. This work contributes to the emergence of a new paradigm in families well-being and mental health. I also appreciate the community of students and practitioners that we train and the exemplary availability of Alexandra to support us in this work. Grateful to be part of it!'
'I have absolutely loved doing the TBR 3-Step Rewind. The whole course is laid out in a very comprehensive manner. What's more, anytime I've needed any assistance, Alex has been at the end of an email ready to help and give sound advice. I would highly recommend training with Alex and am already looking at which of her courses I would like to sign up for next.'
