Founded by Registered Midwife Maria Bulmer, Complete Birth was established to provide all pregnant women with information, education, guidance and support in most areas of pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting. In the course of her extensive career working with pregnant women, Maria discovered how complementary therapies such as Reflexology and Massage Therapy provided essential physical and emotional support throughout pregnancy and also during labour and birth. Maria also understands the importance of educating expectant mums and dads about parenting and normal newborn patterns and behaviours. As a result, the Complete Birth – Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting classes were designed as a comprehensive antenatal program that combines traditional childbirth education techniques facilitated by a Registered Midwife with specialist guest speakers including a Registered Nurse (Whispers Cottage), Reflexologist, Clinical Psychologist and Massage Therapist. Complete Birth also offers Calmbirth® classes as part of their practice. Maria has been privileged to share labour and birth experiences with many women who have embraced labour and achieved an amazing birth with confidence due to information and education learnt through the Calmbirth® class. These classes differ to the Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting classes in that they offer intensive teaching about breathing during labour, and the inner resources women possess to effectively birth in a calm, confident and positive manner. Both the Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting class and Calmbirth® class complement each other and it is highly recommended to attend both classes to completely prepare yourself and your partner for labour, birth and parenting.
