We are a community facility offering birthing and postnatal care, situated in the heart of the rural community of Helensville.
Helensville Birthing Centre is available for whānau who choose to give birth in a low-tech environment and want the opportunity to rest and establish breastfeeding in the immediate postnatal period. Whānau who birth at hospital are also able to transfer to the birthing centre for postnatal care.
Our Philosophy
We believe that birth is a natural process.
E ai ki a mātou, he āhuatanga motuhake te whānau pēpi.
We believe women have the right to full information that enables them to choose their method and intervention, ensuring maximum safety and comfort for both mother and baby, throughout their stay with us.
E ai ki a mātou, he tika kia whakamōhio whānuitia ngā rangahautanga katoa, kia taea e ngā whaea te kōwhiri ngā rautaki tiaki pēpi e hāngai ana, hei āhurutanga mō rāua tahi.
We believe breastfeeding is essential to the early development of the parent/child relationship and the ongoing health of the infant.
Ko te whāngai ū te kai matua e pā ana ki te hononga kei waenga i te whaea me tana pēpi me te hauora tonutanga o te pēpi.
