We believe that families can birth their babies with a minimal of intervention; and that birthing is a wonderful, powerful experience that should be welcomed and not feared.

We support ‘Article 24’ of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that states: “All children have a right to nutritious food” i.e. Breast milk. We challenge the stereotype that, what is stated above, is alternative instead seeing it as the way it can be if so desired.

We believe that children have a voice from the minute they are born and assure parents that they can hear and cater for their babies needs with both love, and safety.

Our expertise comes from formal training, plus hands-on experience in birthing, breastfeeding, and newborn babycare.
