I am a LMC working in East Auckland, running my clinic from Botany Downs Birthing Unit on a Wednesday morning. I have been a midwife for 34 years and I have 3 grown up children and 2 grandchildren! I am a Christian and offer an experienced, empathetic, caring, fun, direct and practical approach. I am originally from South Africa and have been in New Zealand since 2004. I look after women residing in the Botany and close surrounding areas. If you are in my area and my philosophy of care appeals to you, please contact me. I support births both at Middlemore Hospital and Botany Downs Birthing unit. I have a great success rate supporting women keen on natural births but always with the view to a safe outcome, I consult with the Obstetric Dr's when needed and ensure that all kinds of pain relief, if needed, are available. I work with 5 other midwives, we are known as "Midwives@Botany" and we offer you excellent care and support.

RETURNING CLIENTS: Please contact me directly even if it shows unavailable for the month you are due, either by mobile or email. I will either be able to accommodate you or help you find the best suited midwife in our group to care for you. NEW CLIENTS: Use enquiry form below to email me and let me know where you live, what number baby you are having (if you have had babies before it is helpful to please let me know what kind of births you had) and what your due date is. If I haven't replied to you the same day (as midwives we work unusual hours and so I don't always get a chance to check my email) please call me on 021 978667, Mon to Fri only for enquiries, between 9am and 5pm. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!
