Kia ora I love the analogy of pregnancy as a journey. You are on your way - growing a pēpi inside you & on the distant horizon is the land of family or whānau. Maybe a new family, or a growing and changing whānau. To get there, you will go through a birthing experience which is unique to you. A midwife can be a guide to support you along the way, as you navigate the changes, challenges, celebrations & preparations that are different for each of us. You can shape your own journey. As a midwife, I bring; *A deep reverence for the wonder of pregnancy, birth and the welcoming of a new baby (or two!) *A passionate commitment to informed choice *Knowledge & experience from different contexts - home birth, maternity unit & hospital (no need for you to decide yet) *Respect for Te Ao Māori & other cultures and an interest in how you wish to express your culture as part of your journey *a midwifery team that supports each other so we can support you
