Congratulations on your pregnancy :) I decided to become a midwife because of the awe I felt when I was around pregnant women. Their unique ability to grow, give birth and nurture a baby was, and still is, a miraculous event to me. I believe that pregnancy, labour and birth, and breastfeeding are an incredibly special time in a woman's life and it is a real privilege to care for women and their babies during this precious journey.

I have been working as an LMC midwife on the Hibiscus Coast since 2005, and I love my job. I work together with my caring and professional midwife partners, at our clinic in Orewa House. I support women in their individual choices for homebirths, water births and hospital births. My background is as a Childbirth Educator, teaching antenatal classes for 5 years, then I went to Massey University and gained a B HSc and then to AUT for my B Mid. I have also worked as a midwife at Birthcare Parnell.

I have 2 daughters, and a grandson and granddaughter (pictured).
