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.

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.
