Homebirth Midwifery Care for Women Who Want Birth on Their Own Terms
Gentle, experienced, and woman-led support for your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum grounded in traditional midwifery wisdom and deep respect for your autonomy.
Guided by Christine Powell Drew
Traditionally Trained Midwife & Doula, Freebirth-Friendly
Serving Umzinto, Umkomaas, Scottburgh, Pennington
Birth is not just a medical event, it’s a rite of passage.
Whether your vision is a candle-lit room with your loved ones close, or a quiet space where you breathe your baby into the world, my role is to honour and protect that vision.
I offer midwifery care to women who are confident in their choice to work with a traditionally trained midwife, someone who will listen without judgement, trust your instincts, and walk beside you from pregnancy through postpartum.
Every step is guided by informed consent, deep respect, and a commitment to your safety...
and sovereignty.

A note from me...
I’m Christine Powell Drew, mother of four, traditionally trained midwife, qualified doula, and passionate advocate for women’s right to choose how they birth.
My own experiences of pregnancy and birth ignited a calling to support others in reclaiming this rite of passage.
I serve women on the South Coast of KZN who want birth care that is deeply personal, respectful, and free from unnecessary interference.
Your birth is your story. Let’s make sure it’s one you’ll carry with satisfaction and peace.
