Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I have been based in Queenstown since 2004 and have over 10 years LMC experience here in the Whakatipu. I have also worked in a range of other midwifery settings from Kaikōura to Greymouth, to Auckland City Hospital.

I love my role working within our unique and growing community. I believe passionately in women receiving safe, supportive, informative, and unbiased care throughout their pregnancy and birth, to enable you and your partner to make confident, fully informed decisions for your labour/birth and into your new parenting experience.

While having my own babies I faced some of the challenges and decisions unique to women who live in this region. I feel that I have a broader perspective with which to provide thorough, one-on-one care to ensure that you and your partner are empowered and knowledgeable throughout the pregnancy and birth, and ready to meet your new baby, and parent with confidence and support.

I am flexible and (usually) accessible by phone or email. I know it’s hard to choose who is right for each individual to have as your midwife, I am happy to speak to you and answer questions about the type of care you are looking for. I am proud to work within the team of Whakatipu Midwives. My practice partners and I only take on a small number of bookings each month in order to provide thorough, safe, one-on-one continuity of care. While pregnancy can be an empowering and very normal process for many women, if your pregnancy or postnatal care requires any specialist input, I refer to and work in collaboration with the obstetric & paediatric teams at Southland or Dunedin Hospitals, as well as our local GPs. I look forward to hearing from you.
