Kia ora,

My name is Legend, and I am a registered midwife proudly serving Kirikiriroa (Hamilton). I provide personalised care to wāhine hapū (pregnant women) and their whānau, with a strong focus on supporting normal pregnancy and birth, as well as promoting Māori health and overall women's well-being.

My approach centres on walking alongside you throughout your maternity journey, offering guidance and advocacy while respecting your choices. I am also here to support you and your pēpi as you navigate the transition into whānau life.

To ensure time with my own whānau, I work closely with my midwifery partner, Summer Campbell, who will provide excellent care on my days off. We can arrange for you to meet her during our antenatal visits.

Please note: Our clinic is currently undergoing renovations, with expected completion by late February or early March. In the meantime, I am offering home visits. When submitting your enquiry, please let me know if you have not yet completed a dating scan or had blood tests arranged. I will organise these for you directly, instead of visiting your GP. Just include your NHI (If known) and DOB. I will respond during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:30 am–5 pm). I look forward to supporting you and your whānau to create a safe, empowering, and positive maternity experience. Ngā mihi nui, Legend Matetaka-Ormsby
