I love being a midwife. Over the last 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families across the Bay of Islands, Hawkes Bay and the BOP. Born & 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 & familiarity of their own home. There’s something really special about a baby being born in the first place they’ll call home, surrounded by the people who matter most. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep respect for natural birth and for what can become possible when we trust the process.

For me, good midwifery care is about making sure you feel informed, heard and confident in your decisions. I want you to understand your options, know that you can ask questions, and feel supported to make the choices that feel right for you and your whānau. My role is to support you to feel confident in yourself, your choices and your birth.

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.
