POSITIVE PREGNANCY AND BIRTH EXPO

The Positive Pregnancy and Birth Expo (PBE) is back for its second year, once again connecting hopeful and existing parents with the service providers that can make their journey through conception, pregnancy, birth and parenthood a smoother and more knowledgeable one.

PBE is a FREE event that showcases and connects women and families with services that can better their experience during pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and post-partum, while highlighting the many wonderful local businesses Mackay has to offer new and evolving families.

This year’s event has grown to 35 local businesses showcasing their services including, but not limited to, doulas, physios, chiropractors, lactation consultants, photographers, fertility and pregnancy yoga specialists, complimentary natural therapies and massage therapists, and many more.

A host of expert speakers will be sharing advice throughout the day on everything from the benefits of yoga and breathwork, to fertility and post-partum mental health.

PBE Founders Kat Bampton and Kiah Muntelwit are both local business owners and mothers who noticed that the services in the region could be working together to better assist women in pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

“We wanted to bring these businesses together to raise the awareness in the broader community that these great services are all here to improve preconception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum for women and families,” Kat said.

“Our expo is here to make a movement toward positive change through exhibiting services to enhance knowledge, education and support when it comes to preconception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum.”
