Kiaora,

I was raised in both Taumarunui and Hamilton within a whānau of 9 living siblings plus all our whāngai kids. Raised with a tribal and homebirth philosophy, my mother also a Midwife up north.

I provide care from pregnancy through labour and birth and up to 4-6 weeks postnatally. I have a relaxed philosophy and love all things homebirth! I’m also keen to support primary unit birthing at Kurawaka Waipapa, Oromairaki and out at Rangiora. I am NOT epidural certified and will only support birthing at CWH when medically indicated as this is a place for high risk pregnancies. I'm keen to support you to explore and express your mātauranga Māori, nau mai ki te korero mai.

Rainbow friendly.

I am working within the practice Manaakitia Midwives in Ōtautahi.
