Quote of the Day

The best way to predict the future of maternity care is to create it together.

Warm water. Quiet strength. A body doing exactly what it was designed to do.

There is nothing more powerful than birth held gently. 🤎

“If we grew up knowing that birth is not something to fear but something to honor
a Rite of Passage,
a transformation,
a moment of power and beauty unlike anything else…

how different would our world be?

I wish every woman knew.
I wish birth was spoken of with reverence, not fear.
With awe, not shame.
With wonder, not silence.

Save and share this message, let’s bring the truth back to birth.

Birth International is 40!

Birth International was originally founded by the renowned childbirth educator Andrea Robertson in 1985. Andrea’s vision was to strengthen midwifery worldwide by creating high-quality education, innovative teaching tools, and meaningful professional development. Her work shaped childbirth education in Australia and internationally.

In November 2015, Jane Palmer, midwife, educator, and founder of Pregnancy Birth and Beyond – purchased Birth International with the intention of continuing and growing Andrea’s work. Since then, Jane leads the organisation as Managing Director, honouring Andrea’s legacy while expanding our reach, relevance, and impact.

✨ A gentle word can change the whole room.
When supporting women, the way we speak matters just as much as what we teach.

Tone, presence, and compassionate communication help families feel safe, heard, and truly supported.

At Birth International, we’re here to equip educators and health professionals with the tools that build confidence—not just for parents, but for you as a facilitator of powerful conversations.

Let’s keep shaping birth spaces where calm, clarity, and respect lead the way. 💜

✨ Seven conferences. Five presentations. One incredible year of connecting, learning, and championing better birth education.

I’ve loved meeting so many of you face-to-face across Australia—every conversation reminds me why Birth International exists. 💙

As we look toward 2026, I’d love to know…

Birth Mapping isn’t a script for how birth must go.

It’s a way to feel grounded, informed, and ready for whatever path your birth takes — together. 🤍

When you map out options, values, and “what ifs,” you’re not trying to control birth… you’re building confidence, flexibility, and a team mindset.

Save this if you need the reminder today. ✨

The part you don’t usually see.

Cleaning + packing up the La Bassine birth pool, ready for the next family. 💙

There’s a lot of love in the quiet in-between moments too.

Behind every calm waterbirth is a whole lot of preparation and care.
A clean, safe pool = a safe, supported birthing space. 💧✨

“POV: cleaning your birth pool after I’ve picked it up from your home 🫶🏽

Every time I clean a birth pool, I relive your birth story. I see your strength. And I get so excited to pack it all up again for the next family!

The sisterhood of the travelling birth pool ✨🌙”

There’s something so quietly sacred about this part.
Not just the rinsing and drying… but the remembering.

Because this pool has held someone’s deep breaths, soft surrender, roaring power, whispered prayers, and brand-new baby cries. It’s been a little cocoon for a family becoming.

And then it travels on — carrying that energy, that hope, that we’ve-got-you feeling — to the next home, the next birth, the next beautiful story.

The travelling birth pool sisterhood really is a thing. And I love it. 🫶

Our Story

Birth International is a consultancy that incorporates ACE Graphics. The business was originally established by Andrea Robertson, a childbirth educator with an international reputation for her skills in the field of childbirth education. In 1985 Andrea established Associates in Childbirth Education (ACE), a private educational consultancy to continue the training of educators and to provide in-service and update workshops for midwives and other health professionals interested in birth. ACE Graphics, an associated business, provides teaching aids, equipment and books which support the “active birth” philosophy and midwifery care. In 1997, the company Birth International was formed, to incorporate both ACE Graphics and Associates in Childbirth Education under the same umbrella structure.

Today Birth International overarches both aspects of the business: providing training and education of those involved in maternity care and developing and promoting a range of appropriate and innovative teaching aids, equipment, models, charts and videos to support the work of midwifery (through ACE Graphics).

The primary focus of all activities has been to protect and promote midwifery in as many ways as possible. Birth International is dedicated to exploring all avenues in a quest to restore midwifery to its rightful place as guardian of the normal and the facilitators of the best births possible. Although based in Australia, our services and activities have an international perspective and are open to anyone in any country.

In 2015 Pregnancy Birth and Beyond Pty Ltd purchased both Birth International and ACE Graphics – aiming to continue on with Andrea Robertson’s important work within the field of childbirth education and midwifery.
