As a midwife and a māmā, I wholeheartedly believe that every journey to parenthood has the ability to be an empowering, transformative time. I love my job, supporting people to trust their bodies. I'm passionate around involving loved ones in your care and providing culturally safe and inclusive care. I'm also fascinated by emerging evidence and research which continuously informs my midwifery practice. Because of these things, my passion is physiological, undisturbed birth. I love home and primary unit birth - I strongly support this as the evidence shows this is safe for well people, avoiding unnecessary interventions. I provide care at Christchurch Women's when medically indicated, however I'm also passionate about ensuring ALL people are encouraged to make fully informed decisions that feel right for them.

Rātā is a brilliant team of like-minded midwives who share the same philosophy and passion as myself, providing care until 6 weeks postpartum. My backups are the lovely Sheena & Kate. Rainbow friendly
