Baby on board: Whānau benefiting from marae-based maternity care

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

Leith Porter-Samuels empowers pregnant Māori women and their whānau with childbirth and early-parenting skills using a unique kaupapa Māori model.
She recently hosted birthEd’s free three-day Kaupapa Māori Antenatal and Kaiāwhina Education course at Te Kakano o Te Aroha Marae in Moera, Lower Hutt, and will hold another course in December.
