About Emma

Kia ora koutou! My name is Emma. I am a mum of 18month old Aroha. First child, but 4th pregnancy with many years of challenge around miscarriage and loss. Then bringing earthside our bright and cherished daughter Aroha, what a gift she is. 
Both my husband and I were raised in Otago (Queenstown & Dunedin respectively), but despite this we have no family here. These spaces we can create and cultivate for parents to connect are so vital. 
I found being part of the Breastfeeding Peer Support learning programme when Aroha was just 2 months old, was a lifeline. I made some connections in this space with other mums who have in time become friends and women I am so grateful to have in my life. This is the treasure of taking time to connect, chat, share honestly, and encourage one another.
Something we all need often, knowing we're never alone. I'd love to connect with you and your bub or toddler at the coffee group. Let's take a  cosy cuppa together, staying warm and connected through this winter 🙏🥰

Peer Supporters are not medical professionals, but are volunteers trained to provide information and support through common challenges to the normal course of breastfeeding.
