MeKia Ora, my name is Amanda Pene I was born and breed in the Manawatu. I am a registered midwife who completed Bachelors of Midwifery in Palmerston North. I live in Palmerston North with my husband and two beautiful children. Since the birth of my daughter 10 years ago I dreamed of becoming a midwife; I believe that this was the path for me. I love empowering women and family/whanau to birth naturally and enjoy being apart of their journey to parenthood. Midwifery for me is a privilege and an honour and this can never be forgotten. I am currently working out of Midwifery Care with a number of independent midwives and enjoy their support. I work closely with another Maori midwife Kendra Mackey and together we provide continuity of care. My Philosophy I have a simple philosophy that I believe is essential in providing midwifery care for women and family/whanau....promote the normal and provide continuity of care. Normal birth is were we should be aiming; and by taking a recommended case-load by the College of Midwives I attempt to empower women/whanau to embrace what their tipuna/ancestors have done for many years. Having two children I understand the huge impact midwifery care has on us; so I endeavour to provide the best care I can to make pregnancy labour and birth positive. Partnership is essential and for me partnership is the cornerstone of my practice. It takes both parties to obtain the optimum results and we both have to form a partnership to trust, empower, educate and honour each other. Partnership allows continuity of care and through continuity a bond develops and a journey is shared. I look forward to being apart of your journey.
