Congratulations on your hapūtanga!

He uri ahau nō Ngāti Porou me Ngāti Manawa hoki. Tokorima aku tamariki. Nō ŌTaihape ahau. Ko Javana tōku ingoa. I bring with me a deep respect for te ao Māori and the importance of whānau-centred care.

As your midwife, I’m proud to provide safe, high-quality, and compassionate care. I work confidently within my scope of practice, offering information and support that upholds hauora and empowers you and your whānau to make informed decisions during your hapūtanga, birth, and the first six weeks postnatally. I believe in pregnancy and birth as natural, whānau-centred events.

I offer continuity of care so you feel supported, seen, and heard. Whether you choose to birth at home or at Whanganui Hospital, I aim to help you have the most positive experience possible.

I also provide home visits, especially helpful during colder months. My care is individualised and honours the unique needs of each māmā and whānau. I look forward to walking alongside you and your whānau.
