Kiaora māmā,

Nau mai, Haere mai, Kahlia here.

Firstly, Congratulations on this exciting journey ahead.

Secondly, I welcome all women among the West Auckland regions.

I’m a married māmā, and an LMC midwife myself. Between these two super worlds I provide evidence-based midwifery cares, customised to suit individual needs. The importance and inclusion of whānau, natural birthing practices, and/or cultural values are held in high regard alongside all professional practising standards.

Safety is paramount and this is the continual key to encouraging māmā and their whānau to achieve positive experiences through pregnancy, labour, birth and the first few weeks later.

My private clinic is based in Oratia, West Auckland, for all hapūtanga appointments, and I have birth options via home birth, Waitakere or North Shore hospitals, Helensville and Nga Hau birthing units.

Please contact me via email, text or phone for further support or queries and let me know a few details about yourself:

- Full Name

- Address

- Mobile Number

- Email Address

- First day of last period (if known)

It's also helpful if you want to include:

- Date of birth

- NHI (if known)

- Have you had a dating scan?

- Have you had your first blood tests taken?

- Have you started folic acid and iodine supplements? Or taking a prenatal supplement such as Blackmores or Elevit?

Kāore i tua atu i a koe. All the best, Kahlia.
