Transforming Lives Through Health

For over 40 years, Barbara Harper has traveled the world teaching birth professionals how to safely and confidently integrate waterbirth into clinical practice. This Spring she is coming to CANADA!

This is your opportunity to learn directly from one of the true pioneers of gentle birth and the founder of Waterbirth International. In the immersive, hands-on training, you'll explore the latest research supporting waterbirth safety and physiology. You'll gain practical techniques you can immediately apply in hospital settings, birth centres, and homebirths.

This is not just theory, this is real world application. Clinical wisdom, hands-on learning and direct mentorship from Barbara herself.

Designed for midwives, nurses, physicians, doulas and birth advocates, this training goes far beyond earning a credential. Its an invitation to join a global network of professionals across more that 80 countries who are working together to expand safe, evidence-based waterbirth access.

If you are ready to deepen your knowledge, expand your clinical skills and gain the confidence and international recognition to support families in experiencing a gentler way to birth then this training is for you. 

Come learn.

Come be part of the future of Waterbirth.
