Women's bodies are designed to give birth - and most can do it without medical intervention. Giving birth isn't a medical emergency - it's a normal function of biology.
Birthing Centre facilites are for women having non-intervention, low-risk births.
Our aim is to give women the choice and best chance to give birth actively and naturally without intervention.
Birthing Centre are committed to meeting the cultural needs of all mothers.
Let us know of anything you would like to incorporate into your baby’s birth story/arrival, such as a pounamu cutting blade, muka ties, placenta pods etc. We may be able to either provide you with something or at least put you in touch with someone local who can assist.
