About me

Hello, I’m Marie.

I have always been fascinated by the magic and power of pregnancy and birth. My journey began as a midwife in France, where I trained in hospital settings and gained strong medical experience. But I soon realised that birth is often not a medical event — it is a profound and natural life experience.

After my training, I worked in Mayotte with African women, and they opened my eyes to the strength and beauty of physiological birth. I witnessed how, when fear is absent and trust is present, women give birth with confidence and serenity — often without complications for themselves or their babies.

Since 2013, I have been living in the beautiful Aotearoa (New Zealand), where I support women and families through holistic and evidence-based practices. I am trained in Hypnobirthing, prenatal yoga, baby massage, and the Bonapace Method, allowing me to offer comprehensive support throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

With my experience as a midwife — and as a mother who has given birth twice in New Zealand, once in hospital and once at home — I deeply understand the wide range of birth experiences.

When I’m not enjoying time with my two children, I support women to reconnect with their inner strength and approach birth and early parenthood with confidence, serenity, and empowerment.

I believe that when women are supported, informed, and prepared, they can embrace pregnancy, birth, and motherhood with trust, strength, and joy.

Today, I offer in Auckland:

Prenatal yoga – nurturing your body and mind through mindful movement and breath, while deepening your connection with your baby.

Pregnancy and birth support (Doula)– gentle listening, reassurance, and compassionate guidance through every stage of your journey.

Birth preparation – Breathing Awareness – sharing knowledge and tools to help you and your partner approach birth with confidence, empowerment, and serenity.

Baby massage – a tender gift of loving touch to strengthen the bond and communication between you and your little one.

“When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.” — Marie F. Monga
