Hi, I’m Machatarn, the owner of Birth Afloat. I had 2 amazing home births with my 2 babies, who are now adults in their 20’s!
We are advocates and supporters of natural labour. Childbirth in water, home-births and water births. Also water births in hospitals and birth centres. I believe in the philosophy of bringing our little ones into the world in a gentle and calm state through the practice of water birthing. Natural birth in water has many benefits for both Mum and bub.
For 25 years Birth Afloat has been providing birth pools to mums, dads, midwives, doulas, hospitals and birth centres across Australia. Birth Afloat birth pools and accessories are shipped to 14 different countries. 4 continents.
We have for hire handcrafted, custom-made, heated, wooden pools. And the ‘Pool In A Box’ inflatable pools. Plus a range of birth pools and accessories for sale.
If you have any questions, I am always happy to chat in person, on the phone or a coffee in town. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss your birth.
