It has been my pleasure to provide midwifery care to women and families since 2006. I have worked as a midwife in a variety of settings, including Waikato Hospital, and now enjoy working as an independent midwife throughout Raglan, Hamilton and outlying areas.
I care for women throughout pregnancy, birth and up to six weeks postpartum. Visits can be either at your home or at my clinic in Hamilton. I am proud to say that my practice has lower rates of induction, forceps/ventouse delivery, caesarean section delivery and perineal trauma than the national average. I believe that this is due to my philosophy that birth is a healthy life event and my commitment to providing woman-centred continuity of care.
I provide a holistic service that monitors and supports you and your baby’s wellbeing as well as catering to the normal complaints of pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of your baby’s life. A large part of my job is to provide practical information, advice and assistance that will better help you prepare and enjoy your pregnancy, birthing and parenthood.
