About Me

Kia ora! I'm Arlene (she/her), a Midwife and Yoga Teacher in central Auckland. I am passionate about providing pregnancy care to the LGBTTQIA+ community in an inclusive environment. Pregnancy is so often centred within the heteronormative rhetoric that it can feel daunting entering into the world of childbirth. I appreciate the nuances of being part of the queer community and the understanding required to feel supported, safe and cared for with compassion and kindness. I aim to empower you and your growing whānau in enabling you to make informed decisions about your care, underpinned by evidence based research. I'm excited to support you and your whānau, however that may be, with whoever that may be. If you are a return client, please do always get in touch! I look forward to meeting you and helping you bring your tiny human earth side! I run my antenatal clinics on a Monday and Thursday from Grey Lynn

How to Get Hold of Me

Please EMAIL me with your expected due date, any complications, what kind of birth(s) you've had previously and where you live, including a little bit about you and your whānau. My priority is to provide care for those in the rainbow community; however if I have availability for the month that you or your partner are due to give birth, then I am more than happy to have a conversation about caring for you.
