Our Team

Deb Christensen

Hi, I’m Deb. Like all of us at Birth Journey Midwives, I believe in your body’s natural abilities to birth your baby. I am proud to be part of our supportive team who are committed to providing you with the most recent and up to date care.

I have been a midwife since 2005 and have a strong belief in the female body to grow, birth and nurture her baby and as a midwife I am here to support women through this journey to motherhood.

Francesca Laffey

I’m here to work alongside you and your family, throughout your pregnancy, labour/birth and postnatal care. I believe that growing, birthing and learning to care for your baby is a normal and natural life event.

Natasha Cayless

I believe birth is such a special and important life event and as a midwife it is a privilege to walk alongside women and their families on this journey. My aim is to provide individualized care in partnership with the woman, providing evidence based information to allow women and families to make informed decisions and supporting them in their journey to parenthood.

Alisha Aravena

My aim is to provide midwifery care through partnership with you and your whānau, respecting your values and culture. I welcome pregnant people from all communities, including LGBTQIA. 

Gem Cartson

I take an individualised approach and provide antenatal, labour, birth, and postnatal care based on informed choice. I feel privileged to be selected to work with families at such a pivotal time in their lives.
