Offering new families up-to-date pregnancy and parenting education, and support for their exciting journey to parenthood.

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the classes that we did in the past two weekends. Brad and I feel so much more confident going into parenthood after attending your classes and your attitude and teaching style was just awesome! It is so great that you made these available in the weekends and you just made it so fun with your wit and humour! So again thank you very, very much for everything!!” Nov 2025

Fantastic course! Michele is super engaging and has a wealth of knowledge. My husband and I have taken so much away from this course and feel so much more informed about labour, birthing and having a newborn. We would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting research-based information to help you make the best decisions for your birth plan and beyond! Dec 2025

Birthbalance Connect – Connecting you with all of your pregnancy and parenting needs.

Any new parent knows how confusing it can be when it comes to taking advice on making the best choices for you and your baby. As qualified Childbirth Educators, we walk you through those important steps without the clinical jargon that a midwife or Obstetrician will often use.  We introduce revelevant topics based around fact, so that you can weigh up your options and make positive informed decisions with confidence!

Childbirth is the most empowering, rewarding and exciting experience in a woman’s life .  At Birthbalance Connect we want you to be an active participant in the decisions made concerning your labour and  your birth.  We believe that by empowering you and your birth companion with knowledge, you will feel more relaxed and secure within your birthing environment.  Your baby deserves a  gentle and calm birth.

In Auckland we have so many cultures, with so many traditional birthing and parenting practices. Birthbalance Connect respects your cultural traditions while keeping you up to date with the safest and healthiest options for you, your birth and your baby.

Birthbalance antenatal classes are fun and interactive. No boring lectures allowed! Partners and birth companions have just as much involvement and fun as the ‘mums to be’, and we often have comments from partners that they too feel more involved and more empowered to offer support.  (We teach them massage too!)

The ideal time to attend a childbirth and parenting course is when you are 26 – 32 weeks pregnant. Therefore you will need to book your Birthbalance Connect course in as early in your pregnancy as you can so that we can connect you with all of your pregnancy needs.  Participant numbers are limited and courses fill very quickly.

Birthbalance Connect adhere to all Covid – 19 New Zealand Ministry of Health recommendations.
