Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm Pinja and I'd love to be the one to support you on your journey.

I was born and raised in Finland. I first graduated as a registered nurse but soon found my passion in midwifery. I've been a midwife for over 10 years and absolutely love my job! I have 3 children with my kiwi husband.

I enjoy the unique maternity system we have here in NZ. It allows me to look after you in partnership model of care throughout your pregnancy, labour & birth and up to 4-6 weeks after your baby's born.

I provide calm, kind, informative and professional care to suit your needs. During labour and birth I support you no matter how the special day unfolds for you. I particularly enjoy supporting waterbirths and normal physiology during childbirth by minimising interventions but I'm also experienced in high risk care and act promptly if the situation requires.

Please text me to book an appointment, 022 0636162 or email me pinja.funnell@gmail.com. During pregnancy I'll see you at my clinic in Hastings. After birth, I'll do home visits. You can also fill out the form below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. RETURN CLIENTS please message me even if the profile states I'm full, I'll always have space for return clients ♡
