About Me

Kia ora and Greetings. I am an experienced midwife with some 33 years of practice behind me. I have practised in a variety of settings, both as a core midwife and LMC as well as a number of midwifery management positions. However I am always drawn back to clinical midwifery, working with women and their families/whānau is a priviledge and joy for me. I am truly passionate about midwifery and the opportunities we have to be part of women's life. I am part of a midwifery practice and work with a back up midwifery partner. I work across all areas of our scope of practice, enjoy doing home deliveries but equally enjoy working with women who wish to birth in hospital. I am happy to provide care for women with complex needs and value and respect other health care workers as part of our pregnancy and birthing journey. I am a long time member of NZCOM, have been a Midwifery Standards Reviewer and will at times have a student midwife with me as I am committed to growing our profession. I look forward to meeting you.

How to Get Hold of Me

I am available on my mobile phone to talk to you. I appreciate that there may be times when you will not be able to make calls and you can text me. However unless it is for a simple thing like changing an appointment I will always call you back. On my time off my phone is diverted to my back up midwifery partner so you only have to remember one number. It is important that you do not text me at night or in the weekends, please phone if it is important enough to call me after hours.
