Ecstatic and joyful birth is truly your BIRTH-right!
Birth is a rite of passage designed to transform us as it initiates us into the sacred domain of motherhood.
Since time immemorial, women have walked through its fire and emerged, triumphant, to take our seats as the matriarchs of our families and communities.
Our mission is to inspire every woman to claim this for herself.
May we birth as we live ~
ecstatic, untamed & free
What is Authentic Birth Keeping?
It is believing in you.
It’s a profound truth that birth works.
And for all mammals (including humans!), it overwhelmingly works best when it’s completely undisturbed.
Whatever your health history, underlying conditions or previous birth experiences, we believe you know your body and your baby better than anyone.
It is loyal to you, and only you.
An Authentic Birth Keeper truly serves the mother, without conflicting loyalty to a state or regulatory body that determines the parameters that her birth must follow.
We acknowledge the mother as the ultimate authority in her pregnancy and birth, supporting her as she navigates her pregnancy journey and holding her in deepest reverence as she enters the fire of her birth process. It is such an honour to walk with women in this way; to witness, to explore, to discover our sovereignty.

It is recognising your uniqueness.
It is our belief that birth is not inherently a medical event. Women’s bodies are designed to birth our babies safely, when the delicate hormonal matrix of birth is protected.
We recognise that there are infinite variations of normal as each woman and each baby enacts their unique unfolding of the birth dance.
It is deeply protective of mother-baby
In today’s highly medicalised society, with birth interventions at an all-time high and much of traditional midwifery lost, so many mothers and babies are emerging from the conveyor belt of industrial birth drugged, abused and traumatised; knowing that something has been taken from them.
It’s high-time that a positive outcome is recognised as more than just a healthy baby. Mother and baby are interdependent, their health and wellbeing is intimately linked and reciprocal.

It is caring for all of you, body & soul.
We believe prenatal care is about more than waiting hours for an ultrasound scan. It is more than being examined, assessed, measured, diagnosed and pathologised.
Authentic Prenatal Care is supporting a woman to thrive in vibrant health by recognising her physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs at every stage of her journey.
“Society and its institutions cannot exist unless women give birth, yet the birthing woman in the hospital is shown, not that SHE gives life, but rather that the institution does””
