Motueka Doula Team
About
We are three independent Doulas, each taking our own clients. We work together in a well supported team so we can offer you the best support.
What we offer:
A free visit to get to know each other, hear your wishes and talk about what we offer.
Three different packages to choose from:
- Complete Support Package - includes pregnancy, birth & postpartum care
- Pregnancy & Postpartum Package (no birth attendance)
- Postpartum only Package
It is known that women who are supported by a Doula feel safer and therefore more able to go into a deep state which allows for the birth process to unfold naturally.
Your Doula offers you:
~ Deep trust in the birthing process
~ A calm, grounded presence that honours the sacredness of birth Childbirth education and breastfeeding support
~ A nourishing connection grown during your pregnancy to holistically support you through your childbirth journey
~ Nourishing meals, herbal teas and remedies
~ Support with your household

Jenni Burt
I love living in the Motueka Valley with my partner and two sons.
I have set up and run the Motueka Home Birth group since 2011 and inspired hundreds of women to birth their babies their own way. I have experience supporting women with birth trauma who go on to have healing births.

I live with my partner and our three children in Marahau. We live a life connected to nature and the seasons.
I am passionate to support the whole family during pregnancy birth and postpartum, to let this experience of birth bring them closer together.
I am a certified HypnoBirthing educator since 2021, and can support you with relaxation, breathing and visualisation techniques.
