Sue Holdom

I am an experienced midwife who lives in the country, and particularly enjoys providing care for other rural women. I believe good care requires partnership with women and their 'significant others', with clients being the decision makers, and my job revolving around clinical care and education / information provision. I really enjoy watching women grow during their pregnancies - not just physically (!!) but in terms of their knowledge, and confidence that they will be the best mum it is possible to be, for their baby. I have recently moved and now offer care only to women who plan to birth at home, and located in my area, basically between Te Kauwhata, Ngatea and Maramarua. If circumstances change to require a hospital birth, I am happy to continue care and I have access at Waikato Women's hospital for this reason (cannot attend Middlemore). Please feel free to make an enquiry, or to arrange to meet and discuss your potential care. :-) Waterbirth and breastfeeding strongly supported and encouraged!
