About Me
My name is Nadine Ghows. I am a certified HypnoBirthing® Practitioner with The HypnoBirthing® Institute, and also training to be a Childbirth Educator with Childbirth International and AMANI Birth. I have been a Childbirth Educator in training for over 4 years. I have been actively involved in the natural birthing community in Kuala Lumpur since 2009. I'm a co-founding member of The Gentle Birthing Group Malaysia, a local support group for families wishing to have a natural birth, and I act as Admin to various birthing and parenting support groups on Facebook.
After working for 6 years in KL in the accounting and marketing line, I moved to Australia where I became pregnant with my first daughter. It was there that my love for all things birth and parenting began. When I moved back to Malaysia, I was saddened to discover the very medicalized nature of birth in KL, and worse that women aren't aware of their choices in childbirth or that they even have any! I decided then, that I wanted to help other women become aware of their choices and experience gentler, more satisfying births.
I have two beautiful daughters. My first daughter's birth was an all-natural hospital birth, where the doctor didn't arrive in time and baby was caught by a tenderly midwife. My second daughter made her speedy entrance into the world at home, lovingly into her father's hands. Read about their births here.
These days I revel in being a work-at-home mom, and am still very determined to make positive changes in the KL birthing climate.
