Joy Pooley

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm a lucky woman to have worked with mums, dads and families for the last 20 years in Northland fully across the scope of practice. I've managed to work in the hospital whilst having my own 4 pregnancies, taken antenatal classes for 5 years with Parents Centre, and a good 15 years of LMC in the community as well. I take a fairly low caseload so I can give optimal care to my families. I'll be starting with a new practice partner in Feb, Meg Hinchliffe. We will be sharing our caseload so you will meet both of us on your journey, with the assurance you know both midwives well who could be at your birth. I'm a big communicator, and really enjoy running my own practice with the energy and challenges it throws me. I don't have a specific philosophy that each woman has to fit, I really like to tailor make the service in the hopes we have a smooth and excited anticipation towards meeting the new arrival. See ya in clinic :)
