Tena koe, I'm so glad you're here.
Kia Ora, I'm Tia.
I'm a Postpartum Doula and I live in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland. I'm a Mum to three, a partner to Matt and I love all things baby, birth and positive Postpartum.
I love to cook and spending time in the garden brings me joy. I enjoy being outdoors, travelling with my whanau (family) and exploring our beautiful country of Aotearoa.
I am a proud Te Arawa wahine, born and raised in Rotorua, New Zealand. I came to this important work after the birth of my third child in July 2021. In 2022, I completed my training with Julia Jones of Newborn Mothers as a certified Postpartum Professional.
Postpartum
As a Postpartum Doula, I provide support for a new Mother and her family as they navigate life with a new baby. Pregnancy, birth and Postpartum are times of immense change for a woman; a complete rebirth of the divine woman she is and the new woman she is becoming. I hold space for the new Mother and show up for her, just as she needs. I provide practical, physical and emotional support; this includes cooking nourishing and healing food, finding peace in the home, filling the literal - and figurative - cup and going ALL IN together to this ever-changing and often challenging Postpartum journey.
I believe all women should feel calm, safe and supported during pregnancy, birth and Postpartum. I believe in holistic health, advocating for freedom of choice and cultural traditions, practices and rites of passage. I support families of all cultures and diversities within Auckland and surrounding Waikato.
