Joan is a Registered Nurse (1977), Registered Midwife (2006) and Lactation (BF) Consultant (2005).

I worked as a Registered Nurse in Child Health and Neonatal for several years before completing a Postgraduate Diploma of Midwifery.

I have since worked as an experienced LMC Midwife over the last 14 years in the Southland region, supporting over a thousand women throughout their pregnancy, labour and birth and post partum period.

I have a special interest in prenatal nutrition to promote a healthy pregnancy. I am an advocate of low carb / whole food eating and I welcome and support your interest in this.

I am available for births at Southland Hospital and I also have access to the Winton Birthing Unit.

I look forward to meeting you and helping to guide you throughout your pregnancy and beyond.

I will respect your rights and your freedom to choose.
