Kia ora koutou! Ko Wanaka Noanoa tōku ingoa. He uri ahau o Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Ngāi Tūhoe anō hoki.

Congratulations on your hapūtanga! I provide midwifery care to whānau in the central Wellington area and surrounding suburbs. I value continuity of care and aim to support you and your whānau throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and up to six weeks after your pēpi is born. I'm fortunate to be supported within a group of 5 other beautiful midwives, which allows me to balance mahi and spending time with my own whānau. I am passionate about providing holistic midwifery care and supporting whānau to make informed decisions.

As one of only 2 Māori LMC midwives in Central Wellington, my priority is caring for whānau Māori.

Note: I will be on maternity leave until March 2025. During this time I will only have the capacity for postnatal care and planned c-sections. However, if you are a returning whānau who I have previously cared for, please continue to get in touch!

To discuss your hapūtanga and how I may be able to support you, please email midwifewanaka@gmail.com (or fill out the below form) and I'll do my best to get back to you ASAP. Please include if you or your partner identify as Māori or Pasefika, what number pēpi this is for you, what suburb you live in and where you hope to birth your pēpi. Ngā mihi!
