Kia ora! I share a caseload with Emma and Keli, meaning you are cared for by multiple lead midwives. Together we can work towards your labour and birth 'goals,' ensuring you, baby and partner are well supported & respected. I have experience caring for whānau birthing at home and hospital, and working with people from many different cultural backgrounds, as well as with those in the Rainbow community. I have been a remote rural and primary hospital midwife, as well as my current work here in urban Dunedin. On your journey, I encourage you to use whatever therapies you want, to help achieve a safe & memorable birth experience. I am happy to recommend different holistic practitioners locally. As a practice, we provide shared care with the obstetric and paediatric teams if and when the need arises. We pride ourselves on being clinically up-to-date and having a solid, evidence-based practice. I myself have a wee boy called Bowie, and am co-Chair of the Otakou region of New Zealand College of Midwives.
