Pregnancy is a special, exciting and challenging time in any woman’s life and I would love to support you and your family through this time. I believe birth is a normal life event and my role is to safely facilitate that process, to help the woman be in control of her own experience of giving birth and becoming a mother. I provide continuity of care based on the partnership model of working with women, providing midwifery knowledge and information, and assisting you to make informed decisions that are right for you. I utilise the principles of active birth and offer complementary therapies such as homeopathy and acupuncture. I will attend births at home or hospital. If your pregnancy and birth become complicated I will continue to provide your care while working with the obstetric team to achieve the best possible outcomes. I offer experienced midwifery care for women who live between Waihi and Te Puna, and take a small case load that gives me time to spend with women and meet their specific needs.
