I provide maternity care based on what your needs are, giving guidance to help you make good choices for your whānau. I do pregnancy visits at my clinic in South Dunedin. This involves monitoring you and your baby's health (including arranging screening tests/scans/prescriptions); discussion of birth options; and preparation for having a new baby (including breastfeeding education). We do lots of talking - I listen to what you want, and aim to help to make this journey the best that it can be.

When you are in labour, we can use many techniques for support (including massage, positions, TENS, accupressure, water...). I love home births, but also look after women/babies in the hospital. Once your baby is born, I will visit you most days in the first week, then weekly until six weeks.

I studied Biomedical Science (Human Reproduction) at the Otago Med School, following that up with a Bachelor of Midwifery - my job is my passion! I also love doing volunteer midwifery from time to time, in Vanuatu and PNG.

For non-urgent matters (like enquiring about availability), please contact me in normal weekday working hours by text or email. For urgent/emergency advice, I am available 24/7 by mobile phone. When you make contact, please let me know when the first day of your last period was (or estimated due date, if you know it) and it's helpful to include any previous relevant pregnancy/birthing history, so I can check my availability more closely for you. I work in close partnership with my lovely and capable backup midwives. I have every second weekend 'off call', and the back-up midwife team are available to care for you when I'm not able to. The Blossom Maternity clinic rooms (for routine checkups/pregnancy visits) are in South Dunedin. I look forward to hearing from you!
