Welcome
to Joyful Childbirth!
 Joyful Childbirth is an independant
company specialising in pregnancy
massage, birth
doula support and childbirth
education for the expectant parents of Auckland.
Joyful Childbirth is not about
skipping through labour laughing and giggling
(but if you want to you can!)... but about having
an empowering birth which allows you to confidently
feel the intensity, ecstasy, pain, satisfaction
and pleasure that can naturally come with a healthy
birthing experience. Our birth doula, pregnancy
massage service and antenatal classes and workshops
all reflect and encourage this philosophy.
You will find here FREE
articles on how to improve your birthing
experience that is not often shared. You'll also find loads of
positive birth stories written by women themselves.
There's lots of new things going
on with Joyful Childbirth so visit back often
and take a good look through the website.
If you are a midwife or obstetrician
who has been approached by their mum's about our
doula service, please do read
this article to find out more about us and
answers to questions you may have.

JOYFUL CHILDBIRTH PHILOSOPHY
You are a gorgeous woman of creation
about to embark on the most empowering and life-changing
experience of your life since your own birth;
you're having a baby!
By giving women the information
they need to understand the birthing process we
can change the way babies are brought into the
world and how mothers are born.
Birth
is a highly significant event in a woman's life
both physically, mentally and emotionally. Just
like a wedding day, birth isn't 'just one day'...
it's a lifetime of memories and a source of self-esteem.
It is your right as a woman to look forward to
and experience a Joyful Childbirth; it is what
your body is designed for.
Joyful Childbirth is not about
skipping through labour laughing and giggling
(but if you want to you can!)... but about having
an empowering birth which allows you to feel the
intensity, ecstasy, pain, satisfaction and pleasure
that can naturally come with a healthy birthing
experience.
We strongly believe that every
woman is more than capable of dealing with the
experience without the use of medical drugs; so
long as she has prepared herself by developing
her confidence and body and her birthing partner
and medical professionals around her support her
decision and protect the process of birth, she
will have a really great chance of birthing her
baby with Joy and safety.
Most women believe that childbirth
is something to endure, fear and suffer rather
than an experience that will have them feeling
fulfilled, calm and empowered. Many interventions,
use of drugs and problems in the birthing room
are caused by the lack of understanding and interruption
of the true birth process. It's important that
when such interventions are used during a birth,
the mother is left feeling respected and empowered
by decisions made so as she has a positive memory
of her experience and she can move forward into
motherhood with the best start she can.
I hope the information I have
gathered for you here, on this website and in
my antenatal
classes increases your confidence
to birth your baby Joyfully, because your body
already knows how. |
