Union (which is also the meaning of YOGA!)
We have a dream that all woman can have safe, comfortable and joyful birth. We believe woman can and should have empowering birth. They deserve a birth experience that is graceful and deeply satisfying. They deserve utmost love, care, respect, compassion and support.
We know giving birth is about expressing Love and creating Life. We understand giving birth is an act of highest bravery and courage, instead of fear. A birth of a child is fundamentally a spiritual achievement and being pregnant is a spiritual journey that takes union of mind body and spirit.
So let us give power and trust back to women. That they are beautiful, strong , confident and capable. That they have all the power and ability to give birth. That they are Goddess.
When we empower woman, we empower humanity. When we create change through women, we create a better world. And a baby, that is worth among for

Pregnancy and Birth, is a journey of transformation, a sacred moment, a spiritual experience that can change your life forever. Attending our classes can be a wonderful process to prepare you physically and mentally for giving birth. Our unique approach embodies balance and an integration between mind, body, and spirit.
It all began from my own experience. I had an amazing and wonderful birth. Since then, I knew my purpose – to empower women, increase awareness of gentle conscious birth and provide community support for mothers. Nujuh Bulan was founded based on these clear visions and core values. We are the pioneer in prenatal and postnatal studio, childbirth educator and doula center in Indonesia. We continue to strive in providing high quality services to serve women, mothers, babies, families with integrity and commitment.
It is my wish that our classes may encourage your inquisitiveness about life, build bonding with your baby as the beginning step for your parenthood journey. Having a strong support system is important and know that you are not alone! Our role is to give you a safe gentle space, allowing you to connect and go deep within.
You will frequently hear use the saying of “Know Thyself” and “Awareness”. Giving birth is essentially about knowing more about yourself, trusting the process, embracing personal growth and surrender. It is our true hope you will be more empowered in your journey.
