A little bit of magic has happened and you are now growing a little human being. Congratulations. I love being a Midwife and am excited to work with you through this journey. I hope you will find me approachable, open-minded, supportive, caring and safe. I aim to form a partnership empowering women through education and promoting the health and safety of both the mother and baby. I work alongside three other wonderful midwives who also share this philosophy of care. I am a Mum to three teenagers (so have been through all phases of parenting!), I have taught childbirth education classes for twelve years and am a registered physiotherapist therefore have a special interest in promoting women's pelvic health. My husband is a dairy farmer and we have a dairy farm around the coast so I am happy to support rural women in their pregnancy/birth journey as well.
