Statement of Services
At Birth Right™ we are proud to offer a range of services for all pregnant women, their partners and families.
Early Consultation
If you are thinking about getting pregnant or in the very early stages of pregnancy and confused by the system, then an early consultation will explain and clarify your choices. There is an overwhelming amount of information for pregnant couples and a lot of pressure to make choices about place of birth, caregiver and classes, very early on in the pregnancy. Most people are confused about the system and don’t know how to ‘shop around’. Having an early consultation with Susan at Birth Right™, will help to steer you in the right direction. Book a consultation.
Our Pre-Natal Classes
We are committed to providing a holistic approach to information, making sure that you have a good understanding of your choices along the way. Remember this is YOUR pregnancy, YOUR labour and birth and YOUR baby.
Our aim is to demystify the hospital and medical system with accurate, unbiased and evidence based information. Knowledge is POWER. Our classes are informative, interesting and lots of fun. These classes are for you and your partner and any other support people. Your doula is also welcome.
We offer:
- Birth Right pre-natal class - your practical guide to labour and early parenting.

- Individual classes – these are one-on-one sessions.
Doula Service
Birth Right™ doulas have been trained by a Midwife with over 30 years hands-on experience. They are passionate about supporting you in what you want. They will help you understand your choices, support you throughout your pregnancy, labour and birth. Birth Right™ doulas offer holistic care and support. Every woman deserves to have continuity of support, emotionally and physically – apart from their medical caregiver. Remember: ‘ YOUR BIRTH BELONGS TO YOU’. Find out more.
Massage
Birth Right™ offers specialist pregnancy and post-natal massage. It is very important during pregnancy to be massaged by someone who understands about pregnancy. Melanie Goppert specialises in pregnancy massage. She also does post-natal massage – some important nurturing for a new Mum! Find out more.
Post-natal Midwifery Care
Birth Right™ offers post-natal midwifery care in your home. It can be overwhelming taking your baby home and expect that it will take a couple of weeks to feel comfortable and confident with your new role. The most common issues new Mums have is breastfeeding, understanding newborn behaviour and settling. Susan is an experienced Midwife having worked with new Mums for the last three decades.
