Kia ora and congratulations on your pregnancy! My name is Debbie and I have been a midwife since 2002. I initially worked as a community midwife in the UK, then as an LMC and core midwife at St George’s Maternity, after returning to New Zealand. I now work within a supportive midwifery practice and you will have the opportunity meet your backup midwife during your pregnancy.

In the last 20 years my clients have taught me about being a good midwife, each one in a different way. I am convinced that a person’s pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience has the potential to be highly transformative and empowering. I always strive to provide you with the information you need to make the choices that are right for you. I aim to offer you professional and authentic midwifery support throughout your childbirth experience. I believe that you are entitled to individualised, one-to-one care from a trusted and skilled professional.

Please fill out the email form with any information you want to share, including any special needs or wants regarding pregnancy and birth care, and I will get back to you as soon as I can to arrange an appointment Usually I do routine pregnancy checkups at my clinic at 255 Cranford Street and visit you at home after the birth for checkups and baby weigh ins. I support your choice of place of birth from home birth, primary unit birth or hospital birth as needed. I hope to get to know you during your pregnancy so that we can work together in a partnership to promote the wellbeing of you and your baby.
