Welcome to your Village in Pregnancy and Early Parenthood!

We connect Mothers and their Whanau to support in pregnancy and early parenthood so that you can find your village.  We have an online directory full of local services and businesses that support all budgets, across the Top of the South.

Each month we host free Mothers circles in Motueka, a beautiful nurturing space, focusing on the Mother and her mental wellbeing.

What we offer:

• Our online directory is full of local and online businesses and services specialising in supporting Mothers and families in their journey to becoming a parent and in the early years
• In person mothers circles which provide spaces for mothers to share and connect in what can be an isolating and vulnerable time (Richmond circle coming 2025)
• Events Calendar – to help you find regular and one off events happening in your area
• Blogs and resources to support your journey

Do you work with Mothers and their families? We’d love you to join our village! We are a great, affordable advertising option for local businesses and services supporting families from fertility through to 3 years old.

Our Journey!  My name is Bekki and I’m a Mum to 2 toddlers living in Upper Moutere.  I started the Perinatal Directory after my own journey into motherhood, feeling disconnected and isolated, longing for meaningful connection and services that cared for me and my family holistically.  This led me to me becoming a Doula and completing Womens Circles training, as well as designing and creating our online platform.  My main passion is to make sure that every woman is aware of and has access to the support she needs in her (early) motherhood journey, as well as providing spaces to make connections to feel heard and seen.
