Alex Weehuizen

Hello there! My name is Alex Weehuizen. I am a mother, teacher and doula. I am excited to offer my doula services in Wanaka & surrounds.

Each mother and family will have specific needs. It may mean I help you alleviate any undue stress by working with you to strategise self care routines, to help you become confident in baby care, to provide you with practical help around the home or to support you emotionally.
