In this episode of Mai I Kurawaka, we talk to Jo Rama. Jo is a Kaupapa Māori birthing practitioner with over twenty years of Māori midwifery practice. In her interview, she talks about her upbringing as an urban Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau, overcoming ovarian cancer and going on to give birth to six pēpi, despite having 1/8 of one ovary. She talks very openly and candidly about being a young māmā suffering severe postnatal depression and how Kaupapa Māori birthing practices, including birthing at home, helped her processing and healing.
