Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy!

I am a Midwife based in coastal Taranaki, with my clinic space in Ōākura. I am a māmā to three boys aged 9, 12 & 13. I was called to Midwifery after having my children and have a deep passion for protecting this experience.

Throughout our time together, I focus on understanding what is important to you and facilitating in-depth discussion to ensure you are making truly informed decisions at every stage. My goal is to support you and your whānau to have a positive and empowering experience – what ever that may look like for you.

I have a deeply rooted respect and admiration for the human body. I am passionate about homebirth and providing holistic care, wherever that may be. While medical intervention is sometimes recommended, we approach this together from an informed place.

I work closely with Claire Casby and Adré Hunter at Stony River Midwives. We all share a similar philosophy and keep our caseloads small to better care for you and your whānau.

If this offering sounds like something you align with, then I would love to hear from you. I have a Wednesday clinic for antenatal appointments, located at Stony River Midwives in Ōākura - 4 Butlers Lane. Please email me at anna.b.midwife@gmail.com and include the following details: - Date of the first day of your last period (so I can work out when your estimated due date is and if I have space) - What number baby this is for you - What area you live in - Where you would like to birth – home or hospital (if you know yet) - Please share with me what feels important to you in this journey, I would love to hear about what kind of care you are looking for.
