Helen Cussins / All of Wellington and Tawa / 04 802 0749
Helen Cussins To me, birth is a natural function not a medical procedure, and women can do it themselves with support, rather than being told what and how to have their babies. I see the Midwife’s role as a partnership with the woman, to share information and knowledge and support the woman to make the best choices for herself. I love the involvement and being part of the family; the relationships we form are based on mutual respect and trust.

Hatched Midwifery
Amy Parker / Central Northern / 021 109 4313
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I love supporting women as they become mothers, whether this is your first baby or your 10! Your pregnancy and birth are important life events and I want you and your baby to have the best possible start together. I aim to provide support and information to enable every woman to make the best decisions for herself, her baby and her family. I provide maternity care suited to each woman’s individual needs. I run an antenatal clinic on The Terrace where I will see you during your pregnancy. I offer both home and hospital births, with waterbirth available in either location. After the baby is born I will visit you in your home for up to 6 weeks. I work with two lovely midwives who are my back up during my fortnightly weekends off. It is very important that you choose a midwife who makes you feel safe and comfortable, gives you good information and listens to your concerns. I would love to meet you to see if I am the right midwife for you.

Lyndi Cherian / Western Central Southern Eastern and Khandallah /
Lyndi Cherian Welcome to the wonderful world of pregnancy, birth, and parenting! As a mother of 5 boys, I had the chance to get to know a few midwives along the way and realised that I wanted to be part of this amazing profession. Originally from the US, I have lived in New Zealand for over 20 years. Before midwifery I was a teacher. I love the education aspect of midwifery as there is always so much to learn. I believe in birth and know that women are powerful. I offer caring support and research based information to guide you in your decision making. Your choice of birthplace is an important decision and I can support you at home or at Wellington hospital. I provide antenatal visits from our room on The Terrace, or can arrange home visits if required. Postnatal visits are in your home. I look after 3-4 women a month in order to give you the best care. My practice partners are Fiona Pullar and Amy Parker. I see it as an honour and a privilege to participate in your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care.
