It is with great sadness we advise our centre can no longer provide Midwifery Services to new clientele.

Options available thru
the Natural Birth Education & Research Centre (2010

“We explore, validate and insightfully interweave a birthing model that combines modern day useful technology along side the re-igniting of parental intuition.   In our non-stressed birthing environment we embrace our recently developed model by combining a strong connection to nature with a seamless avenue of care-giving continuity. This new approach portrayed at the centre has a focus on conscious parental participation throughout each stage of the pregnancy, birthing experience & beyond" The Executive Members (2008).

Additinal thoughts:  We are 'family focused'.
