Congratulations on your pregnancy - this is an exciting and emotional time for you.

I come to midwifery with a love of working with women and a strong belief that pregnancy is a normal and exciting time in each woman’s life. Each woman's journey is individual and it is a privilege to walk alongside them. I have a particular interest in homebirth and am happy to support women who wish to birth at home or in a birth centre. If their journey should change to need extra support, I am happy to support them in a hospital setting. Wherever a woman births, my goal is to help her feel she has all the tools to have the best experience she can have. Antenatal appts are about 1 hour long and I include midwifery specific acupuncture at no cost for women in my care who choose it.

I live in the outskirts of Hamilton with my husband and four children aged 20, 18, 16 and 13. We have an old house we are slowly renovating, two golden retrievers, two cats and a menagerie of other animals.

I look forward to meeting you
