Kia ora!

Ko Wanaka tōku ingoa. He uri tēnei nō Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti, Te Aitanga a Māhaki, Ngāi Tūhoe anō hoki.

Born and raised in Pōneke, I am a māmā turned midwife providing kaupapa Māori midwifery care to whānau located in Wellington. My role as a midwife is to work in partnership with you & your whānau, so that together we can ensure you & your pēpi receive the best care possible. I provide a continuity of care service, supporting you from the beginning of hapūtanga, in labour and birth, and postnatally until your pēpi is 4-6 weeks old.

I’m supported in a wider rōpū of 5 other beautiful midwives, helping me balance mahi with my own growing whānau.

My mahi is rooted in Te Ao Māori & I’m passionate about improving health outcomes for Māori and Pasefika whānau. For that reason, I prioritise caring for pēpi who whakapapa Māori and/or Pasefika.

I have recently returned from Maternity Leave & taking a smaller caseload. I'm also available for postnatal only care.

Mauri ora!
