About Me

Congratulations! I am originally from the UK and moved to Aotearoa in 2004. My husband and I have 4 children with the last 3 born at home. I qualified as a midwife in 2013. I worked for 9 years in the hospital as well as LMC, then went out full time as an LMC midwife in Feb 2022. I enjoy journeying alongside birthing people, supporting them to make decisions that are right for them. I have a passion for homebirth, however I support women and their whānau to birth how and where they want, surrounded by love and kindness. By honouring the physical, mental and spiritual health I provide unhurried midwifery care, acknowledging the power and knowledge that is owned by birthgivers and their whānau. Staying in the heart space when making decisions allows you to stay connected and have a positive experience in your parenting journey. I am a Healing Birth Trauma Practitioner. I have completed Dance with me in the Heart level 1.

How to Get Hold of Me

Emailing me is best. I will get back to you ASAP. For whānau that I have been with previously, please text me. Please could you could include some information about yourself and this journey, including if you know where you would like to birth your baby. Your date of birth, the date of your last period, where you live and if you've had babies before. This allows me to organise my caseload and ensure that I can balance things as much as possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
