Homebirth is a safe and evidence-based option for many low-risk women.

Research shows that when women plan to birth at home, they are more likely to experience a spontaneous vaginal birth, with fewer interventions along the way.

A familiar space, trusted support, and the ability to move freely all play a role in how birth unfolds.

For healthy pregnancies, outcomes for babies are comparable to hospital birth.

Having access to clear, balanced information helps women and whānau choose what feels right for them.

Informed, supported, and respected — that’s what every birth deserves.

Welcome baby Juniper!

She is the fifth kiddo for Sadie and Ethan and was born at their home in Turner on December 19th.

She weighed in at 7lb, 11oz.

Sadie came into our care in her third trimester, when she decided she would prefer an home birth, and we were so glad to have the opportunity to get to know her family! It's never too late to plan the birth you want.

Staying home was a good plan for her, since baby arrived just a few minutes after Julia walked in!

Birth attended by Julia.

Animal fat is good for you, it's all the processed /packaged stuff that harms your health.

A new meta-analysis just dropped, and once again, saturated fat takes center stage. But does the data actually support the decades-long warnings we've heard ...
