Services tailored to you and your baby

Why Choose Mama Whānau?

 I descend from a long line of strong, resilient & nurturing women. It is in our lineage to bring babies into this world. My maternal great-grandmother was a midwife, birthed all 13 children unassisted at home, and my paternal kuia had 23 children. 

I knew this was my calling.

When a maiden becomes a mother, it is in her birth rite to feel empowered, safe, connected, grounded and happy! I started Mama Whānau for these reasons, so that I can be there to support you too!
