There is an Old Japanese saying, “ giving birth is a natural activity”.

What is “natural”?

Is it to do nothing? Or, do whatever in desire?

Caring for your physical and mental state to provide the best possible birth condition is what natural birth is all about.

I am deeply devoted to providing you with the best environment for natural childbirth where no stress is put on the baby. Mejiro Birth House is committed to guide and accommodate your health and mental well-being for a comforting natural birth. We support you to create your vision of the birthing experience and mothering that you are facing from now and into the future. I believe that the baby remembers how much the mother loves and cares for them during pregnancy.

We, Mejiro Birth House will stand by your side from the beginning of your pregnancy to the time you become a mother.
