Joyful Childbirth is an independent company specialising in pregnancy massage, birth doula support and childbirth education for the expectant parents of Auckland. Pregnancy massage is a wonderful way to celebrate these special but challenging nine months of your baby's growth. You may still be working or you may already have children to run around after, meaning stress levels can often be high and may go unnoticed. Giving yourself time out to relax and appreciate the miracle that is happening inside you is an essential part of becoming a mother. By improving blood flow and oxygen intake, massage allows you and your baby to experience a healthier pregnancy and a chance to connect in a deep and peaceful way.

All appointments are 60-minutes which includes the consultation and massage. Please allow time afterwards for dressing and relaxation. Massage is performed by Samantha Thurlby-Brooks, a highly qualified masseuse for expectant mums who are considered high risk. She has extensive experience and has massaged over 2000 pregnant women in the last six years. You'll also receive $20 off a Mamanu® Pregnancy Pillow to take and use at home. Right now that all may seem too good to be true, but believe you me, these guys come highly recommended from new and expectant mothers across the region.

The Mumanu® pregnancy pillow is a self-inflating pillow to relieve lower back and hip pains. It's the only pillow officially recommended by the Osteopathic Society of New Zealand and one that will keep your hip, knee and foot at the same height to correctly align you - giving you the most comfortable night's sleep possible.
