Mother the Mother is a Birth and Postnatal Doula Service, based in the New Zealand capital, Wellington,  and serving women in the surrounding area.

"This is what I want to say to every young woman in the world: your birth is the most important event in shaping your life as a mother. It is imperative that you be properly cared for, nurtured and, in this culture, educated. "

Jan Tritten, Midwifery Today

"We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong!"
