Kia ora,

My name is Legend, and I am a midwife proudly serving Kirikiriroa and surrounding areas. I provide personalised care to wāhine hapū (pregnant women) and their whānau, with a strong focus on supporting normal pregnancy and birth, as well as promoting Māori health.

My approach centres on walking alongside you throughout your maternity journey, offering guidance and advocacy while respecting your choices. Additionally, supporting you and your pēpi as you navigate the transition into whānau life.

I work closely with my beautiful midwifery partner, Summer Campbell. We support each other by covering time off and helping out when things get busy, so you may meet her. Just as she lends a hand when I need it, I do the same for her. I ask for your understanding if there are times when Summer is involved in your care. If this approach doesn’t feel quite right for you, I fully support your decision to continue looking for a midwife who best fits your needs.

When submitting your enquiry, please tell me a bit about yourself. I try to respond during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9:30 am–5 pm) but please understand if I do not reply in a timely manner. I look forward to supporting you and your whānau to create a safe, empowering, and positive maternity experience. Ngā mihi nui, Legend Matetaka-Ormsby
