About us:

Hello, I am Joana (on the left side of the picture)

I live with my husband and our three children in the beautiful Marahau Valley. From an early age I have felt a strong desire to change something in the way we birth today. This desire stemmed from the sadness and guild I knew my mother felt, about the way my own birth went. I knew it was possible to have a natural, empowering and peaceful births – full of trust and confidence in our body and our baby! So in my first pregnancy I immersed myself in positive birth preparation practices. HypnoBirthing truly transformed our second and third birth into wonderful, empowering and natural experiences. Not just for myself, but for my children and my husband as well. I am very thankful for the profound help that Hypnobirthing offered our family! And feel passionate and exited to share this with women and their birth companions in my courses. Hello, I am Barbara (on the right side of the picture)

I live with my partner and our two children in the beautiful Mahana Hills, near Upper Moutere.I found my way to hypnobirthing in 2018 when I was pregnant with my first child. I became aware that giving birth evoked uncomfortable associations and fears and decided to look for gentle ways to give birth. Through hypnobirthing, I had two wonderful birthing experiences - intense but in tune and connected with my baby and my body. I am inspired and passionate about empowering women and their birth companions to experience a peaceful birth, full of trust, no matter what path you choose and what circumstances you encounter. Please email us with any questions you might have.

Do you know about the Flying Cowgirl birthing position? 🤠

This position is an effective technique that moves the p***c bone away from the spine, opens the inlet, and helps baby enter the pelvis.

This dramatic position can be done in bed while lying on one side for three to six contractions before switching to the other side.

Arching the back and stretching the knees away from the abdomen shifts the pelvis forward, allowing baby to rotate and/or drop into the pelvis.

Kangatraining is a babywearing postnatal workout focused on strengthening the muscles which can get stretched during pregnancy (especially the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor) and improving posture. It is a low impact, full body workout and one which allows mums to be with their babies while improving their health and fitness level, as we wear our babies for most of the workout in safe baby carriers (which allow proper development of the hips, spine and appropriate head support).
