Uala Maria Lenta

CPM, Lic Midwife

I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii on an organic farm. All my siblings were born and home and I always considered home birth to be the norm. As a college student on Oahu I started to apprentice with a Naturopath Midwife; thats where it all began. From there I went on to apprentice with a Midwife on Maui. After that I ended up in southern Mexico, in a what was small town called Tulum. There I apprenticed with other midwives, while helping to build up a birth center called the Osa Mayor and learn other traditional Mexican healing arts. I also began my academic journey through an accredited college of Midwifery, National Midwifery Institute. I traveled to Africa for birth work as well as in a busy Better Birth Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Now I am a Licensed, certified professional midwife (CPM) and practice in my home town of Hoókena, on the Big Island of Hawaií. I am a mother of two boys age 2 and 12, both of which I birthed at home.

Birth is Sacred

Birth is sacred, it is wholy it is wise. Birth belongs in the hands of the mothers, surrounded by loved ones who honor and support her. The moment a woman gives birth she becomes a mother, she steps into a brand new expression of herself, she is reborn. Each time a woman brings forth life from her womb she is shaping humanity. Birth is life, birth is the most powerful moment in a woman's life. Birth should be full of praise and thanksgiving. Birth is absolutely a sacred moment. We must remember. We must bring back the sacred, one birth at a time.

"Her astute awareness was refreshing when I needed it most. She had a strong faith in the birthing process and in my intuition and told me to push when I felt ready; which as pretty quickly.....out came PulelehuaMakamae, our healthy pē!!!! I am beyond thankful that she was part of our birthing team."
