Barbara Harper is determined in this lifetime on planet Earth to get all human births in water!

First she visited and trained all 3000 maternity hospitals in the USA to provide waterbirths She then went global. Barbara lives in Florida and before the pandemic she was traveling globally to other countries to teach Midwives doctors and hospitals how to birth in water. Now she also teaches by Zoom. She has many classes and offerings on her website. There is also a section for women and couples who who are considering conception who are pregnant or just want more information.

Currently, I came with her to Spain. As she starts out on a multi country tour to teach couples Midwives doctors and hospitals about gentle Birth. In water.

Today she started a two day certification course for water birth. There are about 60 women who signed up and are attending. They are Midwife students practicing Midwives in hospital and Home and there is one obstetrician. They are from Spain and beyond.

Read her website she has been doing this for over 50 years. We have been “sister midwives” for 35 years. She has three children two grandchildren. And she loves getting women into hot water.

Babies do not breathe until their nose touches air.
