A virtual event designed to reconnect midwives with the philosophy, knowledge and practical skills that support physiological birth. The program explores birth physiology, the mind–body connection, and approaches such as waterbirth, acupressure and active birth, alongside communication strategies that support informed maternal decision-making. Together, these sessions will deepen understanding and strengthen midwives’ capacity to protect and promote physiological birth in contemporary maternity care.
