Mel Symes

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am an LMC midwife working with women across the greater Porirua area (from Johnsonville to Pukerua Bay) and would love to have the opportunity to work alongside you and your family at such a special time. I am a part of a group of wonderful and amazing midwives at Birth Treasure - Aku Huia Kaimanawa who I rely on for support and time off. I run an antenatal clinic in Porirua on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning and will see you in your home after the birth of baby for up to 6 weeks. I am happy to provide support for the birth experience that is right for you and your family, this can either be at home, Kenepuru Birthing unit or Wellington Hospital. I myself have a child and understand the importance of being able to build a trusting partnership with your midwife. I believe in empowering women to make informed decisions around their pregnancy and their baby/s I look forward to hearing from you and joining you in your journey to motherhood!
