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 provide antenatal care mostly in clinics in Huntly and Te Kauwhata (at home if necessary, by negotiation), labour and birth care (including waterbirth) at home, at Huntly Birthcare, or Waikato Hospital (only if complications are involved in pregnancy or develop in labour). All postnatal care is provided at home, no matter how remote that may be, and good breastfeeding support is a priority for me. Please feel free to make an enquiry, or to arrange to meet and discuss your potential care. :-)
