Over the last 8 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting whānau across the Bay of Islands, Hawke’s Bay and Bay of Plenty. Born and raised in Tauranga, I was excited to move home in 2025 to raise my own family here.

Although I support all kinds of births, home birth is where my heart is. I love supporting māmā to birth in the comfort, freedom and familiarity of their own home. And there’s something really special about a baby being born in the first place they’ll call home.

I’m passionate about physiological birth, water birth and creating an environment where you feel safe, relaxed and free to birth in your own way. It’s also important to me that throughout your journey, you feel heard, informed and comfortable to ask questions. I want you to feel genuinely supported, with the knowledge and confidence to make the decisions that feel right for you and your whānau.

NOTE: I usually reserve my care for those planning to birth at home or at Bethlehem Birth Centre. But if you are planning a VBAC in hospital, or a hospital birth becomes medically necessary, I will of course continue to support you.
