Kia ora and congratulations on your pregnancy!

I’m Elise, a registered midwife based in Halswell, Christchurch, though I’m happy to support women from a range of areas.

I’m passionate about walking alongside women and whānau through pregnancy, birth, and those early weeks of parenting. My approach is centred on partnership — listening, guiding, and supporting you in a way that honours your values and choices. I see birth as a natural, transformative part of life, and I aim to provide clear, evidence-based information to help you feel confident in your decisions.

I’m part of the Halswell Village Midwives team — a supportive, experienced group of midwives who work closely together to offer personalised and continuous care.

I support births at home, in local primary units, and at Christchurch Women’s Hospital when needed for medical reasons. I provide home visits for up to six weeks after birth to ensure you and your baby are well supported.

If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

You can text me on 027 931 6866 during 9am – 5pm on weekdays, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively you can email me at elisethemidwife@gmail.com.
