*I am on maternity leave until 02.04.2026*.

I'm Ashley, a LMC midwife and mother to five beautiful children. I cover the Tauranga - Katikati area.

I have always had an interest in how the human body works, the physiology of pregnancy and birth. I am constantly amazed how strong women are! It is my goal to provide non-judgmental midwifery care from conception until 4-6 weeks postnatally and to share knowledge with you so that you can make your own informed decisions and feel empowered. I enjoy the continuity aspect of community midwifery and I am passionate about promoting physiological birth. If pregnancy or birth complications arise, I will support you in the hospital setting alongside your specialist team.

Appointments are held at my office space at my home in Ōmokoroa on Thursdays.

I work with another midwife, Lydia Burnett. We're on call for each other's clients 50/50 to ensure a healthy work/life balance, this means that either one of us will be at your birth.

I am returning from maternity leave 02.04.26 and have space for mums due May onwards. Please make contact by completing the form below if you would like me to provide your midwifery care from April. Leading Midwifery (leadingmidwiferycare@outlook.com) provide first trimester care. I'd be honored to support you.
