Homegrown Midwifery

Authenticity. Trust. Sustainability.
Safety. Connectedness.


We are a team of LMC midwives based in Ōtautahi and Selwyn.
We provide exceptional maternity care, and most of our births are at home.

Our philosophy

Birth is a normal life event and we believe deeply in the power of your body and your ability to birth your baby. 
This is your journey, and each decision throughout your pregnancy and birth is yours to make. We are committed to supporting you - and advocating for you - to make truly informed choices and feel empowered in doing so.
Every family is unique. We are led by you and your whānau.

What our clients say

  • “Emily and her team were all wonderful and worked really well together. When Emily was unavailable and I met with one of the other midwives it felt very easy as the whole team worked and communicated so well together.”

  • “Mariko is an amazing person—her care comes naturally. Her communication is clear and genuine. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know who needs care, and I would call her again if I ever needed a midwife.”

  • “I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, supportive, kind midwife than Emily. I was blown away by her generosity with time and the humanness she brought to her role.”

  • “Poppy was a positive presence throughout the entire journey, and I always felt safe and cared for in her hands. I’m truly thankful for everything she did for me, both during pregnancy and those precious early days afterward. I couldn’t have asked for better support.”

  • "Kate was one of the best midwives I've ever had. I felt like we connected straight away, I always felt comfortable talking with her, and she answered all of my questions plainly so I could understand fully. Kate went above and beyond in mine and my baby's care."

  • Cherie provided us with the most exceptional care, always making sure we were well informed every step of the day. i was very undecided on my birth plans and changed them multiple times- each time fully supported by Cherie and without judgement. By the time i made my final decision for a homebirth, Cherie was amazing at making sure i knew what to expect, had everything i needed and made me feel really positive and excited about my choice

  • Excellent care from Cherie, especially for a first time mum. I never felt like I was bothering her, even knowing she was busy i didn't feel like i was interrupting. She always made me feel valued and listened to. During birth, she was the most calming person in the room, with Cherie i felt safe

  • We are incredibly grateful for the care and support Emily provided during what was a very challenging time for our whanau. Emily's level of compassion, professionalism and confidence in her care was outstanding. She took the time to understand and respect our Te Ao Māori perspectives which made us feel seen, heard and truly supported throughout the experience. Her warm nature made it feel as though we had known her for years, and she created a safe and reassuring environment for us during such an important moment in our lives

  • I feel so grateful to Mariko for empowering me to have such a calm and positive homebirth experience. i really appreciated her positivity and encouragement that the things i wanted to be different (E.g. birthing my placenta naturally) could be. We loved her holistic view and how everything she said was backed by research. She has such a calm and reassuring presence which makes a massive difference in a homebirth setting
