In 2007, Dr. Peter Chung found himself unexpectedly assisting a New Zealand woman, Natalie, who gave birth in her home. This encounter marked the beginning of his journey into attending home births, particularly for expatriates residing in Korea. Through subsequent experiences like aiding Amanda from Canada in 2008, Dr. Chung's perception of women's birthing capabilities underwent a profound transformation. This transformative journey led him to become a certified Hypnobirthing practitioner in 2008, further enhancing his understanding of natural birthing methods.
In 2009, his path intersected with that of Michel Odent, a renowned French Obstetrician and pioneer in natural birth, providing Dr. Chung with invaluable insights and enriching his approach towards childbirth.

Recognizing the significance of providing women with an optimal environment for childbirth, Dr. Peter Chung established a birthing center radically different than traditional hospital settings. This pioneering initiative marked the inception of Korea's first natural birthing center. With extensive media coverage, publication of a book, and numerous testimonials from satisfied families, natural childbirth has now emerged as a viable option for expectant mothers in Korea.

Experts who help women during birth should understand how to support them. Through education, women and experts develop a new perspective on birth and find the true value of this work.

Our mission is to enhance the birthing landscape in Korea by promoting midwifery practice. Central to this endeavor is the recognition of midwifery care as a cornerstone of maternity services. To realize this vision, we have initiated support for local midwifery centers, embarked on journeys to explore international birthing environments, and facilitated exchanges of professionals with various countries worldwide. Through these efforts, we aim to elevate the standard of maternity care and empower midwives to play a pivotal role in the birthing process.

We strive to improve the birthing environment in Korea to foster midwifery practice. To accomplish this goal, midwifery care should be acknowledged as one of the primary maternity care models. We start to support local midwifery centers, explore international birth environments, and exchange professionals with different countries around the world.

The Mediflower OB/GYN rebranded as Houm OB/GYN. Based on the past 5,000 cases, we seek to educate and create healthier Maternal Care Models.

Although cultures, languages and environments may differ, from Childbirth to Women’s Health Care the essence of life remains the same. Therefore, as a classical OB/GYN clinic, we are fulfilling our role and expanding our services based on women and life-centered care.

Internally, we have strengthened our focus on Women’s Health care. Externally, we are collaborating with domestic and international institutions to spread our value and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals.
