Re: [ozmidwifery] How do you deal with your frustrations?

[Diane Gardner]

Hi Melissa

I completed the Diploma of Professional Counselling 12 years ago and if you are 
intending to go into the Childbirth Education area I'm not sure that this would 
be an asset unless you intend doing counselling as well. I work one on one with 
clients also. It's a 16 module course that would take at least a year to 
complete if not longer if you having little ones to take care of. It also 
requires that you attend a certain amount of lectures.

The counselling Diploma was good but I found it a little old fashioned with 
what society requires today. Mind you it is a while since I did mine and they 
may have updated it. I was doing NLP at the same time and found that to be much 
more user friendly so I needed to wear 2 hats at the same time. I have since 
continued with more NLP qualifications. 

I also completed the calmbirth, Hypnobirthing  Practitioner and Doula 
trainings. All very good. As Melissa has said Cert IV is a good one to have 
especially if you are eventually asked to lecture.

My belief would be to investigate courses that are specific to birthing. 
Andrea's training sounds just what you seem to be looking for and it would be 
well researched and worth the wait to do it. 

You need to ask yourself in what area would you like to work and target courses 
or qualifications specific to that.

I'm happy to chat further if you would like to email me off list or call.

warm regards
Diane Gardner

You could learn pregnancy massage and some of the natural therapies.  Try 
the Australian College of Natural Therapies.  Or a counselling degree / diploma 
- this complements midwifery very nicely.  Try the Australian Institute of 
Professional Counsellors - I know they run a distance education course.

 

A certificate IV in work place assessment and training is always handy to 
have.

I'm emailing again because I don't think the email I wrote yesterday went 
through?  At least I didn't get it on my computer.

 

To help me deal with my frustrations, so to speak, I am contemplating doing 
some more study so that I can do some  independent antenatal education.  I 
would love some advice and guidance from the wise ladies/men on this list 
please.  A bit of history about me.  I live rurally and have a 6 week oldbaby 
and a 3y.o, and I am tandem breastfeeding them.  I would prefer something that 
I could study from home, but am prepared to travel if necessary.  I have found 
these courses, but would like to know what else is available, so that I can 
enrol in the best or most suitable course for me at this stage in my life.  As 
far as I'm aware there is no one who does independent childbirth education in 
any form in this district or surrounding districts, so I'd have potential to 
start a business, at least one that is child friendly and I can pick and choose 
my own hours..oh and no one staff politics!.  Like many of you have said 
working in a hospital setting no longer appeals to me whatsoever. I'd love to 
work with a MIPP to gain experience as I've only not long graduated my GD of 
midwifery, but there is no one around this area as I said before., so to make 
the most of my suitation i think this is a good idea...So tell me what courses 
are there avaibable, what courses/studies have you done? These are the ones 
I've looked into.

 

Graduate Diploma in Childbirth Education  (not available as far as I'm 
aware)

Master of Midwifery.

Hypnobirthing Practitioner training
Calmbirthing practitioner training
ICEA: CBE course
Bradely Method
ABA community educator course

IBLCE lactaion course
Natural Birth Education & Research Center: G.D (or G.C) of natural birth

Infant Massage Instructor training

 

Over time I would love to do a number of these to cater to the wide and 
varying needs of childbearing women and their families. But for now, I'd love 
to hear some advice and recommendations from you! PLEASE!!

 

TIA,

Rachael
