Arlene offers postnatal care services in your home once your pēpi has arrived safely in Central Auckland and the surrounding areas. Arlene specialises in providing affirming, celebratory care to anyone in the rainbow community.
Perhaps your surrogate is giving birth outside of Auckland and you'll be travelling back home once your baby is a few days old. Perhaps you've chosen to give birth with a private obstetrician and need a midwife postnatally? Whatever your situation, Arlene is available exclusively for people in the LGBTQIA+ community to care for you whilst you transition to parenthood. Just get in touch!
"Arlene went above and beyond to ensure that we (my partner and I) felt strongly included and “in control” as much as possible.
LMC Client
"Arlene is the epitome of sensitivity and empathy. She was so respectful of our birth preferences and informed us of everything we needed to know
LMC Client
"There was a moment in the delivery room where there were a handful of other medical personnel around. At all times Arlene made us feel comfortable and made me feel as though she was in control of what was going on. Relationships were extremely respectful and professional throughout.
LMC Client
"Arlene goes above and beyond to ensure that we had the care we needed. She also answered our calls when she was able to / returned our calls - was always within reach. She never lost composure, even when we were calling at 1am in the morning during our contractions! She is extremely knowledgeable in the Rainbow space and her attitude and teachings / coaching would serve well amongst other medical professionals / midwives.
LMC Client
"Arlene is absolutely amazing and totally a lifesaver. She could not have been any better in supporting us. Give her more money, she is worth it!
LMC Client
"Our midwife felt more like part of our whanau by the time we had completed our journey. We could not have felt more considered or supported.
LMC Client
"Arlene visited my home frequently. At each visit she was generous with her time, opening up the space to talk about any issue. Arlene also answered a few text messages from me about an issue I was concerned about, which I appreciated.
LMC Client
"Arlene gave us so much time and never once made us feel rushed or not her main focus. With a history of sexual assault, Arlene could not have been more sensitive and accommodating to my worries and concerns. This were supported and acknowledge through all stages of our journey!
LMC Client
