Delightful post from 2 of our graduates who are thriving in their work as midwives! So proud of all our graduates. If you have considered being a Midwife- get in touch! We can help you 😊✨🫶🏽 …

Who would have thought that five years ago, we would be where we are today? 🥰
We work in two different, incredibly supportive practices: Anna as a fabulous rural midwife and myself more urban-based. Yet, we’ve had so many opportunities to come together as a team and support whānau throughout our region.

The true nature of midwifery - connection, collaboration, and supporting women and whānau together is something we talked and wondered about. To now see it become a reality is pretty special. 💕🥰
