ABOUT ME
Welcome to The Womb Room. My name is Chloe Steens, I am a lover of life and a lover of learning. I am mother to three wild spirited young children, all whom were conceived, carried and birthed with love, awareness, attention and intention. All of our children were blessed with the gift of entering into this world on the day of their choice in the comfort of our own home, welcomed with gentle hands and loving touch.
I am the wife and lover to my soulmate Ben Steens whom I have been in relationship with and loyally committed to loving for 20+ years. I live in the hills of Papamoa New Zealand with my family, I am busy full time living and learning through life and the teachings of my womb and the great mother, planting the seeds, growing the food, baking the bread, working with the plants, the elements and seasons alive around me and within me, living as consciously and sustainably as possible and manifesting my dreams in sacred union with my loving man beside me. We have chosen to raise our children at home, outside of the mainstream schooling system and share a passion for healing the next generation and the earth through the act of conscious relationship, conscious conception, gestation, birth and conscious parenting. I feel excited to ‘be here now’ and to play my part in the evolution and great awakening of the planet.
However without the reawakening of the womb centre of women a new civilisation and way of being cannot be birthed as all birth comes from the womb, not just the cosmic womb, but our connection to this from our human womb. I believe the greatest work I can offer the world at this time and in my lifetime alongside simply BEING 'mother' to our children is healing my beautiful womb and assisting other women in the reclamation and reawakening of their own womb centre.
I have been a registered midwife in New Zealand for 15 years, working as a primary care, home birth holistic midwife in the Bay of Plenty for over 10 years, advocating for and supporting women to take their power back, to listen to and trust their intuition and to birth how, where and with whom they wish. Guiding women back to their breath, back to their bodies, encouraging them to listen to their intuition, to surrender into the unknown and to trust in the ancient wisdom of the body and primordial intelligence of their unborn baby. Holding a powerful space for the womb to birth her creation. I have had the privilege of walking alongside many women as they make the transformative journey from maiden to mother and beyond.
As much as I have witnessed women truly empowered through their experience of birth, I have also seen first hand the opposite. Sadly obstetric abuse of women, the mother, the unborn and the newborn is very common with a complete lack of awareness of how these actions have a much bigger ripple effect. I have also clearly seen how the layers of unprocessed trauma effect the wombs ability to fully open and blossom into her fullest unlimited potential.
I walked away from the Midwifery profession in Nov 2021 when I was mandated out of the job I love due to my heart felt and well informed choice not to receive the experimental Covid injection, I was considered unfit to practice and a danger to public health. New Zealand lost 300 midwives that day the 16th Nov 2021.
For three and a half years I have spent my days simply living, learning, being, feeling, creating. Anchored more than ever in my feminine flow, living in deep connection to nature, to her seasons and cycles, to the plants, the water, the land. To the cycles of my own womb, to my heart, and to my family. Raising and teaching our three children at home, all day every day. Embodying MOTHER on a level I had never known up until this point. I am so blessed to have had this time. This time to connect ever so deeply with my whole being. I have journeyed deeply into the void, the cosmic womb, connected ever more deeply with the dark and divine feminine. I have studied the laws of the universe, I have studied the depths of my own mind, I have studied the mind body connection, delved deeply into precognitive trauma and holistic health and healing , I have learned and evolved in many ways. Over this time I continued to offer my skills back into the community yet in a different way, I spent some time speaking and sharing at festivals all over NZ, sharing workshops and holding circle, writing and blogging, creating this website and offering hands on womb healings etc, All of this work as amazing as it all is, cannot compare to the impact I know I can have as an LMC midwife working in the community. Working in partnership with women over many moons, building solid relationships anchored in trust and truth. I have heard the call, and made the conscious choice to return to my true soul calling, my gift, my work as midwife. Guardian and gatekeeper of the womb, women, babies and birth. From Jan 2026 I have re opened my books to provide primary LMC care for women wishing to birth at home in our community. I return re birthed, I am not the same woman that walked away those years ago. I know I have added many more tools to my 'tool kit'. I am excited to be offering lead maternity care for women. I am excited to be able to put all of my skills, experience and wisdom into practice to best support women and families on this most sacred journey.
