“Giving birth should be your greatest achievement not your greatest fear.” - Jane Weideman
Congratulations on your pregnancy and thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
I live in the stunning Bream Bay and have done for nearly 20 years. I have two children who have grown up here and after building a mudbrick home in Waipu then renovating a farmer's cottage on a small lifestyle block, I now live in Ruakaka by the beach. You may have met me through my years at Waipu Primary and Bream Bay College, involvement with the Waipu Cove Surf Lifesaving Club Committee, or perhaps you've attended one of my yoga or tai chi classes. I've also been 'on the stage' many times with the Waipu Museum's Art 'n' Tartan, various pantomimes raising funds for the spectacular Celtic Barn and many moons ago as a wee highland lassie dancing at the Waipu Highland Games.
This area is a treasured home to me and I welcome enquiries from women living in Ruakaka, Waipu, One Tree Point, Marsden Cove and southern Whangarei such as Maungatapere, Mata, Maungakaramea, Mangapai and Otaika.
My philosophy to life is simple and infuses everything I do ... treat every living being with kindness, respect and dignity, tread gently on the earth and make each day beautiful. I believe in healthy lifestyle choices, promoting natural, unmedicated birth, providing baby with a gentle transition in to life and our fundamental rights as human beings. On a personal level, I have spent many years studying nutrition, relaxation techniques, mind-body connection, postural alignment and ways to release tension from within our bodies.
During a woman’s time in my care, together we will draw on the latest research to help navigate us to the right choices for the woman and her whanau (loved ones). Should complications arise, we will seek specialist advice and community services in the spirit of partnership and unhurried continuity of care.
Like midwives, every woman, pregnancy and birth is unique. Whether you are a first time mum-to-be or extending your family, pregnancy is a time to surround yourself with those who have faith in you, will protect you, will bat for you when you lose your voice and remind you of the courage you have if you forget.
Choosing a midwife is an important decision, so I welcome you to meet with me to see if I’m your ideal midwife.
Another path I am currently walking is HypnoBirthing® childbirth educator. I am very excited to offer women and their partners, the gift of Marie Mongan's worldwide HypnoBirthing programme that leads women toward the painfree, natural birth they dream of. At present, no classes have been organised and I am working towards commencing local classes in 2021.
