Event description

Exploring Active Birth Sydney 2025 is a comprehensive workshop that empowers health professionals with skills to help women achieve normal physiological birth.

Empowering Midwives to Empower Women

Join us in Sydney for Exploring Active Birth Workshop 2025, a dynamic, hands-on learning experience designed to empower midwives, doulas, and childbirth educators with the skills and confidence to support normal physiological birth.

In a maternity care environment where medical interventions like epidurals, inductions, and caesarean sections are on the rise, this workshop brings the focus back to instinctive, natural birth. Learn how to effectively support birthing women with evidence-based, non-medical techniques that promote safety, confidence, and positive birth outcomes.

Whether you’re new to active birth or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop is an invaluable opportunity to deepen your knowledge and reignite your passion for supporting natural childbirth. Learn from leading experts in active birth education and connect with like-minded professionals who share your commitment to woman-centred care.
