About me
Kia ora and congratulations on your pregnancy!
I'm a registered midwife living in Palmerston North with my husband, six gorgeous children aged 23-8 years old, three cats and a dog!
My midwifery philosophy is grounded in relationship, respect, and belief in the strength of women. I believe birth unfolds best when people feel safe, informed, and supported.
I strongly believe in nurturing relationships/whanaungatanga, honouring each person’s dignity and manaakitanga/creating an environment where people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. I take a low caseload of 3-4 clients a month to allow for this.
There can be an overwhelming amount of information during pregnancy. I’m committed to evidence-informed care, offering clear and balanced information so you can make decisions that are right for you and your whānau.
I will provide individualised care that is specific to your needs and circumstances, and I will support you to give birth at home, at Te Papaioea Birthing Centre or at Palmerston North Hospital.
My antenatal clinic is held at 359 Broadway ave, Palmerston North, and I will visit you in your home for 4-6 weeks after your baby is born.
I work closely with a wonderful group of experienced midwives who support and will cover me when I am off.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Repeat clients, don't hesitate to get in touch with me regardless of availability shown.
