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.
