Rachel Grunsell

Congratulations on your pregnancy!! This is a very exciting & sometimes daunting time for you. Originally from the UK, we moved to New Zealand in 2013, after travelling the country on Honeymoon in 2012; falling in love with the place & the people. I live here with my husband and 2 young children, who were both born at Taranaki Base. I have been a midwife for 16 years and am extremely passionate about midwifery, and supporting women and their whānau throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. I aim to provide all the information that I can to ensure that you can make fully informed choices about your pregnancy, and I will always respect your decisions. I hope that you find me supportive, approachable, caring, & safe. I am happy to provide care on the full spectrum of pregnancy, from the most straight forward to the most complicated, & work closely with the hospital team when needed. I look forward to meeting you.
