In this section upcoming resources will be created to fill the void. Nothing exists especially in light of how I view the world of birth. As a consequence, I have needed to create these resources. Each resource is a reflection of a teaching I learned along my personal journey to reclaim Tāpuhitanga and Tāpuhi. Māori midwifery and Māori midwife, respectively.
Upcoming resources (paperback and ebook)
