DRINk BEER, DO GOOD

Active Birth Taranaki is all about empowering expecting parents with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools they need to approach birth and early parenting with positivity. We know that when parents are well-informed and supported, they’re more likely to have safer, more satisfying birth experiences—and reduce the risk of birth trauma.

Our Choices in Childbirth Workshops provide holistic, evidence-based antenatal education in a warm and welcoming environment. These workshops guide parents through all aspects of birth, from understanding how the body works during labour to exploring comfort measures and creating personalised birth maps. Our goal is to ensure parents feel calm, capable, and ready to advocate for themselves during birth and beyond.

Alongside our workshops, we also run regular coffee groups where parents can connect, share experiences, and build a supportive community. We’re passionate about offering a safe space where parents feel heard, respected, and uplifted—no matter where they’re at in their parenting journey.

With financial support, we can continue to make our workshops and resources accessible to all whānau, including those who might otherwise struggle to access quality birth education. Funding will help us keep costs down, bring in expert guest speakers, and provide valuable resources to families throughout Taranaki.

By supporting Active Birth Taranaki, you’re helping us nurture healthier, happier beginnings for families right here in our community.

We're on the hunt for our first 5% Project recipient in the South Island. That's right – 5% of our beer revenues from Sumner Post Office will go directly to a worthy cause. If you’re part of, or know of, an incredible initiative that could use our support, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us an email to beer@shiningpeakbrewing.com and let’s make the world a better place, one jug at a time.
