BELLABIRTH is a birth preparation service specialising in a mentoring program provided by Catherine Bell to help parents-to-be prepare for labour and the transition into parenthood and offers support to expectant parents in Queanbeyan, Bungendore, Braidwood, Batemans Bay and surrounds.

Bellabirth began in June 2010, and has been developed to be a mentoring service that tailors to the needs and desires of individuals.  Catherine continues to develop bellabirth by keeping up to date with the latest research into pregnancy, birth and parenting. Catherine can provide you with the latest research to assist you with your understanding of your unique situation.  This will allow you to make informed decisions regarding your pregnancy and birth and early parenting experiences.



There are many options when it comes to pregnancy and birth, and as many ways to approach parenting as there are children born.  Your pregnancy, birth and parenting journey are unique to you and there is no one size fits all approach.  Bellabirth can help you navigate these often overwhelming options to make truly informed decisions and empower you on your journey.



If you would like to experience an empowered birth, a birth mentor has been shown to help. As a personal mentor, Catherine attends to the emotional wellbeing of the parents-to-be, working with you and your midwife (or other medical care provider) to assist you in your  birth preparation.  Catherine offers continuous emotional care, informational support and partner support.  Pregnancy and birth is a transitional process, and whilst it is a natural process, it requires good preparation and support.
