ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Nadine.
I’m a HypnoBirthing Practitioner, Birth Doula & Breastfeeding Peer Counselor since 2011. I have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families in achieving informed & empowering births. I co-founded the Gentle Birthing Group in 2010, which was instrumental in introducing waterbirths in Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
I have witnessed all the variations that the natural birth community has gone through – the zeal and inspiring acts of mothers and birth-workers, the misrepresentation in the media and misunderstanding among the medical community. I have engaged in dialogue with members from Kementerian Kesihatan and continue to work closely with doctors & labour ward staff in private hospitals in Malaysia.
I believe that all pregnant women have a right to accurate and unbiased information about childbirth, so that they become proud of their innate ability to birth and nurture the next generation of humans. My hope is that through empowered birth, women are able to step into their true potential as mothers, and begin their parenting journey with confidence.
My greatest achievements remain birthing, breastfeeding and educating my two amazing daughters who are now teenagers and learning about their own feminine power.
I hope I help you do the same!

Nadhirah Alhabshi29 October 2024Nadine was very thorough and shed light on how we can empower ourselves and our birthing experiences. She also gave us tools to better advocate for ourselves and our choices during birth. Highly encouraged if you’d like to learn more about natural and gentle birthing!Meredith Chor27 October 2024Nadine was very informative, understanding and a great advocate for mothers to be! Finding her classes changed my mindset on traditional medicated labour and taught me that there are other options available and we have the right to have them. She has equipped me with the tools to not fear labour but to be excited about going through this rite of passage. Would recommend!Dana Wang2 October 2024I'm so grateful we chose Nadine as our doula! Right from the start, she made us feel completely at ease. She was always there to answer our questions and help us prepare for what was coming, all with such warmth and understanding. During labor, she was incredible. It felt like she knew exactly what I needed before I even did—whether that was a comforting word, suggesting better positions, a helpful breathing technique, or just being there quietly by my side. Having Nadine with us made the whole experience of bringing our baby into the world so much more joyful and filled with love. I can't imagine going through it without her support. If you're thinking about having a doula for your birth, I can't recommend her enough. She truly made our experience wonderful!!Yüsra Dede25 September 2024Nadine was my doula at my birth. As it’s my first time giving birth, I didn’t know what to expect from birth, and what kind of an experience it will be. I was amazed by how attuned to my body Nadine was. Each time I have surges, even small ones, she would realize and do anything to sooth & relax me. She’s extremely nurturing and she understands what I need or want even before me asking for it. She’s also extremely knowledgeable and resourceful, she would teach me something new and life saving each time we have a visit from her. Overall, I had the best experience and it is beyond what I would ever expect!Solange Seppey5 August 2024I'm so glad I found Nadine to help me and my family with my first pregnancy and birth. Nadine is very kind, empathetic, attentive, helpful, always smiling and reassuring. I would highly recommend her hypnobirthing course and her pre-birth doula service. We moved to KL half-way through my pregnancy. I had heard that births are very medicalised in Asia, so I looked online to find someone who could help us navigate the malaysian hospital system in a way to have the most natural birth possible. We loved her 5 Sundays in a row hypnobirthing class. We didn't join it particularly for the hypnosis part, but more to learn how birth should happen naturally, and Nadine always stayed realistic, her inputs made a lot of sense to us (we're both engineers), and we learned a lot at a good pace.Nadia Khan2 July 2024Nadine is all one could ask for in a doula. She got me through two drug and intervention free labors and I am eternally grateful to her for this. Unlike other doulas I’ve had in the past with my older kids she is generous with her time and comes to attend the labor as soon as you call her. Once she arrives she is working non stop to ensure you are comfortable. Hats off!Jeihan Frogy6 May 2024Despite having an IVF baby, Nadine encouraged me to believe that i can do normal delivery and finding the right Dr to support my decision. The delivery maybe wont be exactly like you wanted.. But by learning hypnobirth give you confidence and knowledge what we are able to do.Ker Chi6 May 2024Nadine’s classes have really prepared both me and husband to welcome our 1st born. Her classes gave us the necessary understanding to empower us as new parents during delivery day. I highly recommend it to everyone (especially if you’re new parents). It’s not only educational, it helps couples to also bond during pregnancy. ❤️Chiara Sky12 March 2024Hello, my name is Anastasiia, I’m an expat living in Malaysia since 2021. In the beginning of 2022 I’ve got pregnant with my first baby ❤️, with my husband we decided that I’m going to give a birth also here in Kuala Lumpur. To have a great experience in birthing children it was my dream! So I started to search places, people, who could help me to make my dream true! And luckily, I found Nadine and her beautiful and soooo helpful course for Hypnobirthing. To be honest, before my pregnancy I was a bit aware of what to expect during birthing process, my main goal was to share this priceless information to my husband, because he supposed to be my partner on that very day 🥰. From course we’ve got everything what we should know for having the most gentle birth for our baby. We were gathering ones a week in Nadine’s cozy house. All techniques, that Nadine was teaching us were very easy to memorize and to reproduce, so we could practice at home after. If you think that, you are not a doctor, why you should go into this kind of medical information? But it’s not like this, to be aware of what is happening with you or your wife will give you a better understanding and strong confidence and as a result you will have less stress and harmful consequences. My husband was a best student 😅, he really was so helpful during birthday of our daughter. A little about it: I’ll mention that my health during pregnancy was perfect and it was not any complications. I gave a birth exactly on a beginning of 40 week. Our daughter was born at night on 23 of November 2022 in GleanEaggles hospital. So, the evening before we spent with my family (they came here for help). By 11 pm my water broke, it was like small crack in the sacrum area. Firstly, I checked the quality of waters, it was good 👍, so I was relaxed, that my baby is fine and also know that if water broke it doesn’t mean that delivery going to start straight away, I informed my husband to prepare last moment thing and to be ready and went to take shower and prepare myself to sleep 🙈, it’s my first baby, so I was expecting long delivery. But no, in 40 minutes I was already on a floor living contractions, so we decided to go to the hospital. In the car I was breathing together with sound “Aaaaaaaaaaa” it was helping me to prolong exhale and feel less pain. In the hospital,medical assistants put me in the wheelchair, and I started to feel that my body going to push the baby….I was fully open 🔥 in 2 hours since waters broke. In another 2 hours I got my baby girl on my hands 🙌! That was incredible moment, when in the room were only myself my husband and I caught our baby in my hands from my body 🥰🥰🥰. I didn’t have opportunity to use all hypnobirthing techniques, because of rapid delivery process, but some of them were really helpful 🙏, most of all the knowledge of all processes. Thank you, Nadine for being a part of such an amazing moment in our family life ❤️Amirah Amir6 January 2024I attended Hypnobirthing classes with Nadine during my second pregnancy in 2023 as I was determined to have a positive birth experience this time around. Nadine as an educator is compassionate and nurturing, and she keeps her classes cosy and intimate. This helps put you at ease and express vulnerability when needed. Hypnobirthing enabled us to have a well-informed and meaningful journey - I’m especially appreciative how it creates confidence in your body’s own capabilities and cultivate the involvement of a supportive birth partner. Equipped with the knowledge and support, I achieved a successful vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC) and had an extremely empowering birth experience! I highly recommend Nadine.
