Kia ora whanau, I’ve lost track of some of my Tens machines. As you know I offer these to whanau, without cost, as they are so effective in early labour.

While I’ve started keeping a record of where they are now, I’ve got three units that have never come back.
If you have one that’s been forgotten about, please let me know.

I want to keep offering them for use, but can’t if they aren’t returned 🤍

I’ve welcomed two newborns into the world this week, the first since my trip back to the UK. It’s the shortest part of my care with you, but is always beautiful to welcome a new life into the world and support whanau through labour and birth.

Hapū Wahakura Weaving Wānanga 🌿

We’re so excited to welcome hapū māmā and whānau to our wahakura weaving wānanga at Te Rau Aroha Marae in Bluff. This is a beautiful chance to learn, connect, and create something special for your pēpi, guided by our master weavers from Ōtepoti.

The wānanga runs on Friday 28 November and Saturday 29 November, from 8.30am – 4.30pm each day. You can choose which day works best for you, and both days will be full of learning and aroha.

We’ll begin with a pōwhiri on Friday at 8.30am, and all whānau who have not yet been welcomed onto the marae are warmly invited to take part in this special occasion.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to register quickly if you’d like to join us. To secure your spot, call us on 03 218 6668 or email admin@awarua.nz.

Nau mai, haere mai! We can’t wait to see you there! 💚

The biggest compliment anyone can ever give me is to recommend me to a friend or family member. I wanted to acknowledge anyone who has done that over that last few months, it really does mean so much! 🤍
Every now and then I’ll get shown a post where my name is mentioned, and they always make me smile.
All midwives have a three yearly standards review, where more detailed feedback is always needed. :

Positive affirmations are a real way of grounding yourself in a moment. Labour can bring so many mental challenges, why not have some affirmations to hand?

What a hectic first week back! It’s been lovely catching up with so many of you.
This weekend I’ll be doing lots of admin, which may mean the odd text flying out. Whilst I always try to keep texts in my business hours, busy days and jet lag has taken its toll so i need to catch up. Please dont feel the need to reply until monday if you are enjoying family time
