Birth International was established initially by Andrea Robertson, a childbirth educator with an international reputation for her extensive experience and skills in childbirth education.
In 1985, Andrea established Associates in Childbirth Education (ACE). ACE was a private educational consultancy with the aim of:
- training childbirth educators
- providing in-service training, and
- updating workshops for midwives and other health professionals interested in birth
Andrea also set up the sister business, ACE Graphics, which developed a unique range of teaching aids, equipment and books supporting the “active birth” philosophy and midwifery care.
1997 heralded the formation of the company Birth International, bringing Associates in Childbirth Education and ACE Graphics under the same umbrella.
Andrea ran Birth International until 2015, when she tragically died suddenly and unexpectedly. She’s greatly missed by both those who knew her personally or via the birth education profession.
On 25 November 2015, Jane Palmer from Pregnancy Birth and Beyond Pty Ltd purchased the assets of Birth International. Jane later established Birth International Pty Ltd on 1 July 2018.
