Congratulations on your pregnancy. I was drawn to midwifery after experiencing the incredible miracle of birth of my own children. While each woman’s experience in pregnancy is unique, I believe in the inherent strength of women together with their babies that play an important role in coping with labour and birth. My passion is to support women and their family through the journey to parenthood and to empower them to believe in themselves; This within itself encourages normal physiological birth and creates a solid foundation for parenthood. I am privileged to be a part of this amazing period in the women and their families lives. I practice in partnership and provide individualised care based on evidence, consulting with other health care professionals if necessary in timely manner. I will support women in giving birth at home, in a primary birthing unit and at the hospital with a focus that birth is a part of their normal life process.
