Your donation directly helps establish Australia's first community-driven Gentle Birth Hospital
Currently in Australia:
- Less than 50% of women give birth vaginally
- 40% of first-time mothers face induction
- 1 in 3 women experience birth trauma
- Intervention rates increase yearly
It's time for revolutionary change.
Your donation supports Hygieia Health's pioneering journey:
- Phase 1: Birth House - A standalone birth center using an innovative midwife-led model
- Phase 2: All-Risk Birth Centre - Expanding to welcome all women including those with complex needs
- Phase 3: Complete Gentle Birth Hospital - A full-service hospital with all care provided from a holistic perspective
Our goal at The Reconnected is to exceed the initial setup costs of $226,635 to establish Hygieia Health's first birth house!
As Jane Hardwicke Collings shares: "We're creating a purpose-built, sacred birthing hospital where everybody's needs are met and where we can nurture the future of midwifery and home birth practices. Where mothers and families thrive from their birth experience instead of just surviving."
"If we want a better experience than what's happening and what's getting worse every year, we need to stand up and walk our talk and do the things that are necessary."
Let's walk this talk together.
100% of your donation supports the creation of a sacred birthing space where mother-centred care, evidence-based practices, and holistic support are the standard - not the exception.
