Kia Ora!

First and foremost a big congratulations on your hapūtanga and the new journey you are taking.

Ko Kerryn White tōku ingoa. I am māmā of two from Gisborne on the East Coast.

I am the specialist midwife working with and alongside the Te Manawa o Hine Māori midwifery team.

I provide support and walk with wāhine and whānau throughout the antenatal and postnatal period. I work specifically with wāhine that need specialised or complex care in their pregnancies due to social or medical risks in your hapūtanga.

I provide visits at Greenlane Clinical Centre or can come to you at home.

I unfortunately do not currently provide labour cares and labour cares will be provided by the awesome team at Auckland city hospital.

I aim to provide wāhine and whānau centered care as I believe wraparound support for hapū māmā is so important. I will support you and your whānau ensuring you are well informed throughout, enabling you to make informed choices and consent.

Ngā mihi!
