Achieving the best Pregnancy, Birth & Postnatal experience

Team work is an essential element in achieving a good experience; the birthing person, whanau and midwife are a team. Health and wellbeing during pregnancy has a huge influence on birth and postnatal outcomes for parents and their babies. Taking responsibility for your health by becoming attune to your body, education outside of appointments and attending appointments are imperative for the birthing person to achieve a joyful and empowering experience. We encourage you to lean into your intuition! The midwife’s role is to share up to date evidence based recommendations around screening and other options during your pregnancy, labour and birth experience. The midwife will draw on their experience, the evidence, recommendations and your personal preferences when making a care plan with you.

We at Rata have great relationships with many other health professionals, such acupuncturists, osteopaths, dietitians  physiotherapists, lactation consultants and doctors. Our holistic approach means we work in harmony with other health providers ensuring you have a safe and positive experience.
