Kia ora and welcome to the website of the Canterbury Homebirth Association Incorporated.
This website has been put together by volunteers of the Association. We hope that you take the time to explore the site and learn more about home birth.
We welcome any feedback regarding the site or any of the content contained in this site. If you would like to offer any suggestions, please send us an email.
The Canterbury Homebirth Association (CHBA) has been in existence since 1976 and is a voluntary organisation that promotes and supports home birth as an alternative to hospital birth.
We are a group of like minded people that see birth as a natural process. Our own personal birth experiences have led us to work together to promote home as a safe and loving environment in which to birth.
Our passion boils down to one thing which is: "Home birth - it's not just a location, it's a philosophy."
For more information please see our About Us page.
At the information evening people interested in having a home birth can find out more about it and meet others considering (a) home birth(s). A Christchurch Homebirth Midwives midwife and people who have had home births are present to talk with you.
