About me
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I believe this is a very special and incredible time in a woman's life.
I am a midwife who is passionate about providing woman-centred care throughout your pregnancy, labour, birth, and postnatally that will allow you to feel empowered throughout your experience. I believe that birth is a normal, physiological process and aim to provide safe care that facilitates this process to occur without intervention when appropriate. I have worked as a core-midwife in a hospital setting so I am familiar with this environment but I also have a passion for providing care during home births and water-births. I work in collaboration with other health practitioners and will refer you to the appropriate services when required, in order to achieve a safe outcome for you and your baby. I work in a practice of midwives who share the same philosophy as me.
I will be on maternity leave from Sept 2024 - March 2025. During this time I will be slower to reply to emails
