Lara Williams

I’m Lara and I work mainly in West Christchurch and the inner Selwyn area. I have clinics in Hei Hei, Halswell and Rolleston. I love my work and I am a firm believer in pregnancy and childbirth being a normal and ‘low-risk’ event for most women. However, I also know that some women start their pregnancies with pre-existing health issues and some may develop health problems during pregnancy. I have a special interest in complex maternity care. I enjoy the challenge of keeping more complicated pregnancies and labours as normal and as calm as possible so that women are able to have a private and personal birth. That said, I love my 'normals' too! I strongly support birth at primary units and really enjoy water-birthing babies. I am part of Midwifery Associates - a fantastic group of midwives who share a similar philosophy. I am epidural certified and have been a midwife for over 15 years. I am married with two children.
