Larissa Grandi

I am passionate about midwifery and believe that birthing is sacred. I am privileged to go with women on their childbirth journey. I truly believe babies should be received in this world in a gentle way. My focus is to provide sound information, working in partnership with women/whānau. I support women willing to birth in primary settings, either at the birthing units or at home, which is proven by research to have the lowest medical intervention rates. I also have hospital access to ensure your continuity of care when clinically indicated. I work with Katrina Woodham in a shared care model, which means all women will see us alternatively throughout their pregnancy , to enable relationship with us both, and we have week about. Our clinic is at Avalon Health, Cnr Avalon Dr & Forest Lake Rd, Hamilton. I am a member of the Waikato Homebirth Collective & I am supported by midwives with similar philosophies. I am originally from Brazil, therefore I also speak both Portuguese and Spanish.
