Congratulations on your hapūtanga. I am a Māori midwife with over 8+years experience based in Ōtautahi. It is my honour to work and live here on my tūrangawaewae, where I was raised and where I am raising my three tamariki.
I provide primary health care to whānau on their journey through pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatally.
I am passionate about promoting kaupapa Māori birthing practices and supporting my Pacifica cousins and takatāpui whānau.
I will support normal birth, at home, in birthing units, waterbirth and when medically indicated I will support you in Christchurch Women’s Hospital.
My clinic is on Mondays and Thursdays during school hours on the east side..
I look forward to supporting you and your whānau through this special time in your life.
Please text me on 0211708651 between 9 am to 4pm Monday to Friday with ko wai koe, who are you, your due date, if you've had a pēpi before and any important details about you and your whānau.
Please note due to having a smaller caseload I recommend booking early and if you're a returning whānau, I will always have a space for you.
My amazing practice is Manaakitia midwives.
My clinic days are on Mondays at Piki te Ora, 201 Linwood Ave and Thursdays at Purapura Whētu, 41 Essex Street, 930am to 330pm.
