Hello! My name is Katherine. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am a registered midwife based in Rongotai and I work alongside my practice partners Jo Scott and Liz Dentice at Miramar Midwives.(www.miramarmidwives.co.nz). I am originally from Wellington, but I have also lived in Japan for 15 years. I became passionate about midwifery following my own children’s births in Japan, and I realised I wanted to work with women and their families to help them to achieve a safe and positive birth experience. I have a unique understanding of some of the challenges women face when birthing away from family, in an unfamiliar maternity system. I am passionate about information sharing and supporting women and their families to make decisions that best meet their and their babies needs. I will work with you during those first few magical weeks of your baby's life to support you with breastfeeding and baby care.

All enquires welcome. Please email and include due date and area where you live to katherine.miramarmidwives@gmail.com or contact us via our Miramar Midwives website at www.miramarmidwives.co.nz.
