Marie Helene Chopin-McCarthy

Welcome, My name is Marie and I have 26 years experience as a midwife both working in hospitals and as a lead maternity carer. As your Midwife I will provide continuity of care and work in partnership with you during your pregnancy and, if needed, refer to an obstetrician if any concerns arise. I am super excited to be moving my practice to 20 Kensington Avenue, Whangarei and look forward to meeting you there. I came to New Zealand in 2002 where I discovered the midwifery I have always wanted to practise. It was the New Zealand College of Midwives “Partnership in Care” philosophy that I thought was a wonderful way to work with mothers and their family/whanau and I love it. Pregnancy is the ideal time to learn about your body and your growing baby, and as you go through your pregnancy, I will share information with you to help you make informed decisions that are right for you. I provide home, hospital and water births (pools for hire) in and the surrounding areas of Whangarei.
