Kia ora,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm a mum of 3 amazing boys (including a set of twins) who are my world. I am a registered midwife working within a practice of 10 midwives. We aim to provide women & whānau with care that is individualised, informative & evidence based as this enables women & whānau to make informed decisions about their pregnancy, health and well-being. I enjoy working in partnership with women & their whānau throughout the journey that is pregnancy, childbirth & parenthood. I strongly feel it is a privilege & an honour to share in this extraordinary time of life.

I provide full midwifery care throughout pregnancy, labour/birth & up to 5 weeks postnatal. I also take a small caseload to enable quality of care. I'm happy to support women to birth in a primary birthing unit, or at Christchurch Women’s Hospital. I am epidural certified as is every midwife in our practice. I am passionate about working with Māori/Pacific wāhine and I whakapapa to Ngāti Awa and Tainui.

My antenatal clinics are held on a Tuesday in Longhurst (Halswell). If you wish to enquire about midwifery care please call or text me on 0273530451 or email midwifemarks@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.
