East Coast Midwifery

It is so important to feel comfortable with your midwife as this is such a huge event in your life as a woman. Saskia is an amazing professional. I felt at ease in her presence. Her communication is great and her love for her profession shines throughout. Saskia works with passion, heart and soul.

I had Saskia’s support throughout both my pregnancies, labour, birth and post natal. She has a warm and nurturing nature, always felt safe asking questions about my body or ‘what if’ scenario’s. She helped me stay calm and connected to my baby throughout labour, I feel very blessed to of had her with me and am so grateful. Saskia also made sure I was breastfeeding without injuring myself and making sure pēpi would latch properly. If you are planning on having a family, Saskia is amazing, would highly recommend. ♥️

Saskia was a wonderful midwife, never pushed me to do anything and always supported me with my every decision. As me, she is a naturalist and that suited me well, as she knew what to suggest and gave me options that made my choices easier.I had a beautiful waterbirth, she was there before, keeping an eye on contractions and during the actual labour she just made me feel comfortable and safe. Didn't have any complications and with 4 hours we had our little son Markus and Saskia made sure everything was ok and we could relax and have a rest.A good friend, midwife and a beautiful soul. She shows that she cares and takes time for you.Thank you, Saskia :) !

What an incredible massage in Doubtless Bay! Saskia was able to relieve a lot of the tension I was holding in my shoulders. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. I was impressed with the knowledge of the body she has and her ability to understand what was going on and causing my tension. I would absolutely recommend seeing Saskia if you get the chance. I believe she offers sports, deep tissue, pregnancy, relaxation and therapeutic massage.

Saskia was amazing throughout my entire pregnancy. As a young māmā carrying my first pēpi, there were many things I was unsure about. She made sure that I had all the information available even if she didn’t agree with some things, so that I could make the best possible decisions for myself and my pēpi. During my pregnancy I also developed gestational diabetes. This caused a lot of anxiety as I was constantly worried about my baby. However, with Saskias help, these feelings were relieved as she organised various measures to ensure my baby was healthy and to ease my own fears.Unfortunately, Saskia was not present during my birth but she did make sureI was completely comfortable with being out of her care for that short time. Afterward when I returned to her care, I was absolutely well looked after not only by her but by her birthing partner Charlie also.Overall I feel as though I made the best choice possible with Saskia being my midwife. She provided a personal level of care throughout that made my first experience absolutely amazing. <3

Saskia was amazing I would highly recommend her. Having a complicated pregnancy with my daughter Saskia was a God send, I believe everyone is put in our paths for good reason and Saskia was definitely one of them for us. Having hypertension and boarder line pre-eclampsia with extreme high blood pressure Saskia acted fast and calmly getting us in an ambulance and to hospital ( incase of a stroke ) baby had stopped growing and was distressed so I was induced early.I couldn't have done it without Saskias support and knowledge.Ivy Faith was born at a small 6.01lbs. Cute and perfect as could be. After a week extra in hospital we were allowed home.

Saskia was a fabulous midwife for us. She was caring, nurturing and informative. Would highly recommend her ❤️
