Why Riot Birth Network?

To Boost Your Business!

We know that most people who find themselves in birth work got there through a love of birth and wanting to help more people discover how powerful they are. Not everyone has experience in running a business or marketing one! We have been where you are and through some trial and error and a hell of a lot of potential delusion, we powered through and learned a load of useful stuff along the way! We’re going to teach it all to you so that you don’t have to struggle or just click away at things hoping for the best. Let those who love this shit show you how it works!

To Have A Community!

We have gathered some of the best in the parent and baby space all into one supportive gang and we want you to be a part of that. We attract our people and the amazing people who have found their way to us are kind hearted, generous, hilarious, FUCKING knowledgable and mostly sweary. We have hypnobirthing instructors, doulas, midwives, BF counsellors, baby massage teachers and yoga instructors who are quick to respond with advice or support when someone needs it. Whether it’s resources for a client with a circumstance you now nothing about or a place to be held when you need it, our network has your back.

To Make Fucking Money!

We believe that you deserve to make a decent living from your business if that’s what you’re after. We’re sick of the chat about us doing this for free ‘if we really wanted to help’ because guess what? People don’t work for free! You can make your business a success just by tapping into free resources, making yourself visible, creating connections and just like with birth, believing it’s possible. Come and join our network of booked and busy business owners and let us show you the way, from automated marketing to real life conversations, there’s loads of ways to boost your biz right away!

  • I did my hypnobirthing instructor training with TBU and could not recommend it more highly. The information delivered in the online element of the course is extensive; much more than you could ever cover in a single weekend! The support is continuous; Jade & Alix are always working to help the team improve whatever aspects we need help with. A totally judgement free zone, with a really diverse community of instructors. Love being a part of TBU and looking forward to the future of our teaching!

  • These lot are a complete god send! Informative, inclusive, and detailed hypnobirthing training alongside AMAZING post business support that is consistent and just keeps on giving a year after I completed the course. Honestly can’t recommend them enough, the most I’ve got off any training including my degree. Everyone should train with these guys if they are thinking to get into birth work, you won’t regret it :)

  • I moved from my original hypnobirthing training to TBU and it was the best decision I ever made. The course content, the support, they’re just brilliant. I was able to quit my job within 2 years and take this full time. Truly life changing. If you’re thinking of being a Hypnobirthing teacher I wouldn’t look anywhere else than these two. x

    Anna- Hackney Hypnobirthing

  • I did TBU teacher training, it was bloody awesome. Jade and Alix have so much knowledge and they want to share it. The online content was so in-depth I felt prepared, then the two full days face to face training cemented all I had learnt and in a fun way leaving me feeling like a total Badass teacher knowing I have the ability to teach a fun, informative, interactive antenatal course for any birther. Thank you!

    Clare- The New Parent Company

Hypnobirthing instructors are like your badass birthing allies, blending the science of childbirth with a kick-ass focus on birth rights. These knowledgeable folks dive into the nitty-gritty of birth biology, empowering you with evidence-based knowledge so you can make informed decisions like a boss. And let's not forget about the relaxation techniques! They teach you how to tap into your body's natural powers, helping you chill the fuck out and feel in control during the birthing process. Oh, and they're all about your birth rights too! They'll have your back, making sure your voice is heard and your choices are respected. It's a potent combo of scientific understanding, relaxation magic, and standing up for your birth experience like the badass you are. Time to rock that birth, my friend!

A doula is like your personal cheerleader and support system during pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum period. They're not medical professionals, but they provide emotional and practical assistance. Picture this: they're like the cool friend who's got your back, offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear throughout the whole journey. Whether it's helping you create a birth plan, offering relaxation techniques during labor, or even just being there to hold your hand, a doula is all about making you feel empowered and at ease during this incredible and sometimes overwhelming experience. So yeah, doulas are pretty awesome!
