Kia Ora hapū whānau! 

Ko Dani tōku ingoa. 

Kahu Pōkai- not currently taking whānau bookings

My name is Dani, I’m a Māori midwife in Ōtautahi and whakapapa Ngāi Tahu, Te Atiawa o Te Waka-a-Māui, Ngāti Apa and Ngāti Rārua. Born and raised in Waitohi/ Picton, Waikawa marae is my tūrangawaewae. 

I have 8+ years experience as a core midwife, lead community carer, tertiary care clinical coach, locum LMC midwife and core locum midwife in Te Tau Ihu and, a core midwife at Kurawaka Waipapa. I also have leadership experience as a midwife navigator for the Midwifery Resource Centre establishing and maintaining services to support whānau accessing equitable maternity care in the community.

I also have experience as a previous kaituhi for Māori Midwives ki Tahu, Te Wai Pounamu board trustee for Ngā Maia and the New Zealand College of Midwives.

I am part way through a Masters of Māori and Inidigenous Leadership through UC, exploring Ukaipōtanga.

My current role is a full time māmā to two beautiful tamariki and dabbling in all the little bits of midwifery that this little whānau allows.
