Getting To Know Calmbirth Educator Hannah Mai

by | Educators

Hello! I’m Hannah. I am a Midwife, Child and Family Health Nurse, Calmbirth Educator, and get to be Mum to four beautiful and busy young girls. Over the past 12 years I have worked with women through all stages of their pregnancy, birth and motherhood journey, and am passionate about supporting and nurturing families through these momentous stages of life. I have witnessed first-hand the difference knowledge can bring – confidence, a calm state of being, and freedom instead of fear. This is why I love Calmbirth. An opportunity for couples to dive deep into understanding the incredible ability of the female body to carry and birth, learn tools to work with and not against this process, and anticipate birth with joyful expectation instead of fear and trepidation
