At Healthy Mother, we teach would-be mothers and dads all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth so that they become knowledgeable about the do’s and dont’s for having a healthy pregnancy, fulfilling childbirth and an easy return to fitness. At the Healthy Mother Birthing Center, The Sanctum, we offer mothers a chance to give birth to their baby in an atmosphere which is caring and full of empathy, and where mothers are able to labor on their own terms, without being hurried by hospital policies or doctor’s time pressures.
We help mothers understand the importance of good diet and nutrition during pregnancy in order to have a healthy baby.
The focus of all our programs is to teach women what to do in order that they may facilitate a NORMAL CHILDBIRTH. The exercises and techniques that mothers learn in our programs help the baby descend down the birth canal more easily. The breathing and natural relaxation techniques we teach help mothers cope with labor pains more easily and make the labor process more bearable.
We help would-be mothers to take advantage of the body’s natural pain relief mechanisms as well as those mechanisms that help to progress labor naturally. In doing so, we give women the confidence to avoid external medication such as Epidural, Pitocin, Epidosin etc, which have side effects for the mother and her baby.
Finally, we teach women the importance of breastfeeding within the first hour of birth and the correct techniques for the same. We also give women knowledge about newborn care and assist in post-partum care for the mother.
We support would-be mothers throughout their pregnancy and immediate postpartum 24-hours a day, by providing them with the knowledge, and confidence to overcome their anxieties, and have a fulfilling experience that they can cherish.
