I feel blessed to have supported at two home-births in the last few weeks. The love that permeates through our homes can create a very sacred birthing space to welcome new life.
I feel that the line between normal life and a miracle unfolding becomes almost transparent in a home-birth. The progression from pregnant woman to birthing woman to mother seems so natural, yet is a divine rite of passage. And of course, not having to go anywhere, but instead friends and family coming to you can ease the transition to postpartum life.
The process of surrender that takes place in birth allows a woman to transition from maiden to mother. Through this process women can more easily embrace the ups and downs of motherhood. The strength that she discovers through birthing her baby will help empower her in times of difficulty.

“Birth helps prepare a woman for the surrendering she will do in mothering”
In the Northern Rivers, we are lucky to have some very dedicated and passionate midwives serving the needs of pregnant and birthing women. There are options of where to birth, how to birth and who to birth with. We even have some government funded home-births starting to happen through the Mullumbimby birthing centre. My hope is that this will help normalise home-births in the eye of the public and by providing financial assistance, will make it available to more people.
If you’re experiencing a healthy pregnancy, would feel more comfortable birthing in your own home and want to birth naturally (without drugs), then home-birth is a great option! A doula and midwife team can provide the perfect support to help you achieve your goals. Costs vary depending on the midwife and many offer payment plans.
If you are considering a home-birth & want to meet a dedicated home-birth midwife, get in touch with me and I can pass on their details.
