Jennifer Downs

Hello & congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm a registered midwife working as an LMC. I graduated with a BHSc in Midwifery & have spent the past 10 years working both as core staff at ADHB & as an LMC. I have now decided to bring my practice closer to home to the Norwest region. I love the ethnic diversity that comes with working in this job; I find it incredibly humbling, and an absolute privilege to to be a close part of this journey together with the families I care for. My joy over the years is having my families come back with subsequent pregnancies and watching their babies grow into amazing children! My philosophy is to encourage women to keep themselves fit, healthy & happy during their pregnancies & a safe, positive outcome for Mum & baby is the most important aspect to me. I'm comfortable birthing at home, birthing unit and hospital with my focus being on natural birth & aiming to avoid unnecessary interventions where appropriate. My clinic is in Kumeu on a Monday.
