Alisha - LMC - Birthing Mama

Alisha, tell us a little bit about your background and experience in the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum field:

My name is Alisha and I am an LMC midwife. As an LMC I look after mama throughout pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. I have completed 4 years of study and am now in my first year as a new graduate midwife. 

 

A brief introduction to your business, its mission, and the services you offer:
As an LMC I take on a number of clients, generally up to 4 a month and I am their main care provider throughout their pregnancy journey. I see them in clinics for their antenatal appointments and am on call 24/7 for their labour and births. After their births I then visit them at home for the first 4-6 weeks for postpartum visits. During my time as a student, I created an instagram page which was specifically used to provide beneficial up to date pregnancy and birthing information, tips and tricks for mama and whanau who are going through this very special time. 

A few sentences about your passion and commitment to supporting expecting and new mamas during their journey:

My passion is to continue to help mama and whānau be fully informed of their choices and experiences during their pregnancy journey. Being able to share the knowledge that I have gained throughout my studies and my day to day experiences is a very special privilege of mine. I believe that knowledge is power, especially during this period. Being able to be a well trusted and safe person for my clients and their families is such a great feeling and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my knowledge.

    "If you are reading this, know this. You are not failing. Not because you’re tired. Not because you use formula. Not because you ask for help. You are doing an amazing job, even if your version of motherhood looks less like a storybook and more like a 6am drive-through run for a hash brown." - Lexi

    "I had so many expectations about birth. Every movie, every story made it seem like this huge, magical moment, the kind where you instantly fall in love, the bond is immediate, and everything just *clicks*...."

    “I gave myself all the permission I had to rest and take it easy.
    Letting others do simple things like emptying the dishwasher or hanging out the washing was mentally hard but I truly believe that rest set up a strong foundation for the rest of my first year postpartum.”

    Stana shares with us her honest experience recovering from a belly birth, with scar massage, unexpected sensitivities, baby-wearing aches, and the strength it took to actually stop and let herself heal.

    If you're in the thick of it or reflecting on your own journey, her story is a powerful reminder: rest is not a luxury, it’s essential.
