about us
We are a family – run company, based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and working globally.
Childbirth educators understand that birth is a normal life event that deserves a family – centred circle of care for the birthing woman and her family.
We focus on wellness, health promotion, knowledge of informed consent, evidence-based care, and the use of nonmedical and self-care techniques to encourage a normal physiologic pregnancy, labour, and birth.
We fully understand the need for education of males and we embrace a family – centred approach. The birth of a baby means not only just that, but birth of a mother and a father and the whole family!

“What a wonderful person she was…Zaahida was so supportive. She gave me information about what to expect in labour that I never heard of before…she made me feel relaxed and calm even though I was stressed“
– Ameena Jamal
