Helen Turner

Welcome to your childbirth journey and to Nurture Within Midwifery. I live in the Buller Bay region with my husband and our two children. I coordinate the maternity services at the Kawatiri facility in Westport and work closely with other West Coast midwives to provide safe, individualised and evidence-based maternity care, supporting women throughout Buller to birth at Te Nikau Greymouth hospital, Kawatiri maternity unit or at home when appropriate. Nurture Within offers a holistic approach to midwifery, sharing nutritional knowledge & incorporating massage, aromatherapy & reflexology into my care, free of charge, to assist women with the normal physiological adjustments in pregnancy, labour & the postnatal period. I am also interested in photography and offer labour photography and birth videos, free of charge, if desired. I am passionate about supporting women to make informed choices that are right for them & their families, so that they may feel empowered throughout their childbirth journey.
