About Active Birth Taranaki
We are...
Parents.
Friends.
A village.
We’re a group of parents who have been transformed by our birth experiences and are excited about sharing not only our experiences but also our network of local professional connections that we have gathered on this birthing journey.
We are the beginnings of the village that it takes to raise these little ones.
There is no right way to have a baby but there is your way
Active Birth Taranaki was originally the Homebirth Association of Taranaki and grew to encompass all ways of actively engaging in birth. Whether it be in home birth, hospital birth or by caesarean section.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in positive birthing options, be active in your birthing decisions, and look at all the ways of optimising your body and mind for your best birth experience.
The community you need
We have been inspired by the couples who birthed before us; who shared their colourful, varied and real experiences. We want to pass on this positive legacy of birth stories and birthing techniques.
Active Birth Taranaki is a safe space for you and your support person to reflect on your pregnancy, connect with your baby and think about what resonates with you; for your birth journey.
