๐Ÿ’™ WORLD WATERBIRTH DAY โ€“ JUNE 25 ๐Ÿ’™
In Honour of Barbara Harper

Thursday we celebrate World Waterbirth Day, a day dedicated to the power of water, informed choice, and the normalcy of birth.

For decades, Barbara Harper has inspired birth professionals and families around the world through her education, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to gentle, evidence-informed birth practices. Her work has touched countless lives in more than 80 countries and has helped make water immersion and waterbirth accessible to families worldwide.

As Barbara often says:

โ€œHow do we increase the normalcy of birth? โ€ฆ Just add water.โ€

๐ŸŒŠ Join us as we honour Barbaraโ€™s incredible contributions to the birth world and celebrate the many families who have experienced the comfort, confidence, and empowerment that water can bring to labour and birth.

๐ŸŒŠ You didnโ€™t come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.

โ€” Alan Watts

There is something deeply comforting about remembering that we are not separate from natureโ€”we are part of it. Like water, we are connected to something greater than ourselves, shaped by the same rhythms that move the oceans, rivers, and rain.

For those of us who work with birth, this message feels especially meaningful. Before we take our first breath, we grow surrounded by water. Our journey into the world begins in the most natural environment imaginable.

Today, take a moment to reconnectโ€”with the earth beneath your feet, the water that sustains life, and the understanding that you belong here.

๐Ÿ’™ You are part of something beautiful.
