WELCOME.

I’m Anita, also known as Mama Tete.

I support women and their families to move through the transitions of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and parenthood with greater ease and self-awareness.

I am a mother, birth worker, educator and wellness practitioner. Tete is my daughter and in East Africa where I am from, when we become a mother ‘Mama’ is given as a title with the name of our first born.

My journey into motherhood was a profound re-initiation in my growth as a Birthworker. I'm deeply honoured to be called upon to witness birth, the most sacred ceremony, and would love to walk alongside you.

embodying ancestral wisdom in three key ways:

remembering

Remembering everyday practice of traditional ways around childbirth, postpartum recovering and women’s wellness.

reminding

Reminding women of their softness, to surrender and be reborn. Reminding women that we are enough, through witnessing and encouragement.

RETURNING

Returning women to a place of intuitive knowing in community.

working holistically

Holistic living is woven into all areas of my life, mainly: eating whole foods, using herbs medicinally (plant medicine), intention work and working with mother nature daily. I am also a plant-based mama.

I love nurturing and have been supporting women and families on their parenting journeys for many years, both informally and formally.

Birthwork is a community responsibility and women have always been supporting and loving mothers to be.

I listen deeply and work collaboratively.

My services are for mamas for each different stages of their motherhood journey: pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood. This is sometimes referred to as ‘full spectrum’ care.

Services I Offer

Traditions have been lost over time and it is important to me to help support women return to these ways. I do this through the services I offer listed below:
