Toni, support staff member at the Birthing Centre

I've been with the birthing centre since it opened, doing full time, then casual.

I love being there seeing women come and go, giving birth and being able to look after them, and their child.

I've never seen mothers/fathers sooo relaxed and feeling and looking refreshed after giving birth like they do when they go to be discharged from the Te Awakairangi Birthing Centre, compared to being at the hospital.

​It's one of the most safest and relaxed places for our beautiful wāhine to be able to birth and feel like they are going to have the best experience that they can while being here .
