ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Sydney vaha’i
Aloha! It’s truly wonderful that you’re here. I am extremely passionate not only about helping you prepare for your birth, but to empower, encourage, support and advocate for you throughout your pregnancy, labor and birth and the new season of mothering.
I’m originally from Utah and my husband is from Tonga. We met and got married here in beautiful Hawaii. We love living here and feel so lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing people and Mother Nature.
I have always felt drawn to pregnancy and birth. From a very young age I knew that this work is exactly what I wanted to do with my life. It is my true calling and I am so honored to be able to support families through this remarkable and transformative time. I hold a deep respect for pregnancy, the birthing process, and postpartum period.
Birth is the most challenging and beautiful privilege. My wish is that I can help you learn to be in tune and understand your body and its design. Ensuring you are empowered to birth your baby, no matter what that looks like - In the hospital, at home, wherever you feel safest. I hope to support you with your choices, walk through fears, and help you have the best experience possible.

GET TO KNOW ME
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
Traveling
I love going to new places and learning about different customs and cultures. Trying new foods and meeting new people.
One of my favorite places i’ve been is Thailand, where I got to go to an elephant sanctuary. We took a mud bath with the elephants and then played in a nearby waterfall to rinse it all off. Elephants are the sweetest creatures. Very interactive and friendly. Gentle giants.
Did you know that elephants have the longest gestation period of all living mammals?
22 Months! Nearly two YEARS of being pregnant! So. amazing.
SPENDING TIME WITH MY HUSBAND
Whether it’s exploring hand in hand or simply cuddling up on the couch, I love every moment with him.
We love to cook, watch movies, go shopping, and discover new places around the island together. He makes me laugh like no one else can and is my best friend and partner in crime.
Being outside
I love exercising and moving my body. Hiking, swimming in the ocean, walks, camping, are just a few of my favs!
