Bella Rose Birthing Centre
Bella Rose Water Birthing Centre offers a unique and very
beautiful environment for natural birthing.
Belinda Loudon is the matriarch of the Bella Rose Birthing Centre.
As a mother of four children and doula (
birth facilitator), she is passionate about natural birthing. It has
been a long standing dream of hers to share her own experience of
childbirth with others, to remind and empower woman how to reclaim
their natural wisdom during childbirth.
The centre is set deeply in nature on a farm outside Nelspruit in
the province of Mpumalanga.
Bella Rose offers an ideal natural home birthing alternative to both local and expat families living in neighbouring countries like Mozambique, and Swaziland. For those living in Johannesburg or Pretoria, Bella Rose is a relaxed three our drive out of the city. Our Birth Holiday package, is created especially for those families wanting to use this very memorable occasion of Birth as a celebration, a sacred blessing a right of passage.
The birthing unit at Bella Rose is a luxurious, open, light and
spacious room, with large glass doors opening onto a raised deck,
overlooking rolling mountains. It is built amongst magnificent
indigenous trees, flowing water and natural rock outcrops with
abundant and very alive bird life. This is natural birthing at its
ultimate best, with peace, serenity and natural beauty contributing
to a very memorable experience of labour.
Inside are all the modern luxuries which include a Jacuzzi for
relaxation and pain relief, an oval 450 litre stone bath for
birthing ,high pressure shower, king size bed and fully equipped
kitchenette.
Bella Rose Water birthing centre offers couples an alternate to
birthing at home, along with a little bit of extra luxury… A
complete contrast to the confinements of a hospital room!
All this while still being fully supported by a very experienced and
professional team of Doctor and midwife .With all the necessary
medical equipment such as oxygen, vacuum suction etc available on
site as back up, should it be necessary. The farm is situated only
20 minutes from Nelspruit Medi Clinic, in the case of an unexpected
need for Caesar.
It is the policy at Bella Rose to remain professional at all times,
taking no risks, while still making it available to birth actively
and powerfully as mother nature intended.
The building is underway at the moment of a labour walk on the farm, as well as a Yoga and dance studio to encourage active and joyous movement during labour.
Other facilities such as Art therapy, massage, acupuncture and reflexology are also offered at the centre. All adding to a very memorable, empowered and beautiful birth experience.
