Louise Hammond

Congratulations on your Pregnancy!!! Hi I am Louise. I have been a Midwife Since early 2006, when I completed my Midwifery Degree in Dunedin. I initially worked hospital shifts & took a small caseload of clients in Dunedin. After the birth of my second child, we lived in Southland where I am originally from & I worked initially at the hospital in Invercargill as a core midwife & then as a fulltime LMC. In early 2014 I moved to New Plymouth with my family. My two children are now 14 & 11 years old & we love life in Taranaki. I work with a wonderful bunch of colleagues at PIP & have great support in place. I am passionate about my role as a midwife & enjoy supporting women & families throughout their childbirth journey. I aim to support and promote normal childbirth & breastfeeding, including homebirth & water birth. I also love the diversity of the families I care for. I enjoy getting to know those I care for, honouring cultural values within their birth & parenting experience.
