Best Pregnancy Classes Auckland Near Me

4worldlovers: “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!!”

What an AMAZING course! We are still buzzing over how interesting and engaging it was. At first we were a bit disappointed about the fact that it would be online, therefore thinking that it would not be as good, but oh how we were wrong! We have learnt so much and can’t wait to catch up with our new coffee group. You brought just the right amount of everything and we cannot thank you enough!! We hope to catch up soon. Take care, Suzy and Shivy

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!)

4worldlovers: Hypnobirthing is a way to make the birthing process a more positive experience.

I'm the founder of Auckland Hypnobirthing, and I experienced the amazing benefits of hypnobirthing first hand when I gave birth to our second baby, Oli. I am a certified hypnobirthing practitioner and I’ve shared hypnobirthing in New Zealand and worldwide, with thousands of expecting parents via live and online courses.

This has driven my passion to help other women to believe in themselves and their natural ability to give birth safely and easily.

I absolutely love supporting parents to go from feeling anxious, to feeling calm and excited about labour and birth.

"I now tell every pregnant friend that they must do this course!"

"I attended Claire's hypnobirthing course when I was pregnant with my first bub which I absolutely loved and I went on to experience two empowering births at home with both my daughters.


Claire showed me that I was capable of a calm birth where I was in control of my experience and I now tell every pregnant friend that they must do this course! Even if they're not a first time parent."

"My body was opening easily and naturally. I felt confident, I felt safe, I felt secure.

Strong surges were met with beautiful birth breathing and the odd primal groan.
