Hayley Gimblett

Kia ora, I'm Hayley. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work alongside women and their families during this exciting time. I believe that pregnancy and childbirth is a significant, but natural family life event. I am passionate about advocating for women and supporting them to achieve their natural potential during pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period. It is important to me to work in partnership with the women I care for, this is supported by having informed discussions and creating a care plan that suits women's individual needs. I work alongside 7 other wonderful women in Rata Midwives who share the same midwifery philosophy. I provide care for women wanting to birth at home or at a primary birthing unit. I also support women to birth at Christchurch Women's Hospital when medically indicated. My clinic is held on a Monday afternoon at Village Health in Spreydon.
