My name is Grace and I'm an LMC midwife based in Queenstown. I am a British midwife and I trained and worked in London before moving out to continue my career in NZ a number of years ago. I love being a midwife; I love working alongside women and their whānau during such a life changing time and facilitating safe and positive childbirth experiences. My job is to make you feel supported and well informed throughout so you can make the decisions that feel right for you. I provide comprehensive, holistic care, working closely with obstetricians and other healthcare professionals when needed. If you are looking for a midwife please feel free to reach out below.

I offer continuity of care to women throughout the antenatal period, labour and birth, and up to six weeks postnatally as you adjust to parenthood. I work in a team of three with my colleagues Keri Mapperson and Tomoko Clark, each of us taking small caseloads to ensure safe, woman-centred care and a work-life balance. Although I don’t currently travel to Invercargill or Dunedin I support births in these locations and will organise wonderful midwives to look after you if that is your preference. Please email me with your due date (if known), where you live and your contact details: gracepenman@icloud.com or use the form below.
