Congratulations on your pregnancy! My name is Marika Robinson. I immigrated to New Zealand in 1999 and as a mother, registered nurse and a love for working within my community I have followed my passion to become a midwife. I see a new life as a gift for our evolution that deserves to be birthed in love and integrity. I have a holistic approach to health and a deep trust in the wisdom and intelligence within our bodies. Yoga, meditation and herbal medicine are the foundations of my own wellbeing and this I will integrate into my midwifery practice. Sometimes unexpected things happen during pregnancy and labour and in case of any deviation from normal, I work in partnership with an obstetrician and other health practitioners for a safe birthing outcome. Pregnancy concerns the entire family and I am happy to arrange antenatal appointments so that partners are also included. My practice partner is Linda Sowerby and we work as part of a highly experienced team of midwives at West Auckland Midwives practice.
