Our story
It is with grace and aroha that we should treat ourselves and others. This is no more true than when you become a parent. It’s one of the hardest jobs you’ll ever do. A mixture of emotions and a role not easily defined can often lead to exhaustion and a lack of confidence.
Jay has spent literally thousands of hours caring for infants and toddlers as an early childhood teacher, she is a parent to two teenagers and delights in the newborn, infant and toddler stage. It is with this passion that Grace & Aroha began. Jay wants to be your champion, to empower you and guide you to enjoy all the moments that parenting brings. Someone to be by your side to listen, guide and inspire you to see your baby as a unique and whole person, capable and competent from the beginning. Aroha Mai, Aroha Atu. Love received, Love returned.
With a variety of services at affordable prices her hope is that every parent receives the support needed at the beginning of the parenting journey to create a positive and rewarding experience.
