Tena Koutou, Talofa. My name is Horiana Thompson, I am of NZ Māori and Samoan heritage. My tribal roots are Ngāti Kahangunu. I qualified and trained as a Midwife through AUT from 2010-2015. I have 3 beautiful children and a handful of mokos with many more to come, which had lead me to believe Childbirth is a natural innate experience that has its own cadence and pace, which works best when not interfered with. I will work with women with much facilitation as achievable in determining your care and encouraging you to be active participants in decision-making and self-care I believe that pregnancy and birth are a natural element of life for healthy women therefore I don't provide secondary

care but I also recognise the uniqueness of every woman’s life experience. I believe in respecting women’s beliefs, experiences and choices. I aim to work with women during their pregnancy, labour & birth and 6 weeks during their postnatal period. My backup partner is Puti Baker, who shares the same philosophy as myself.
