Hi. I am Heba a registered midwife and a nurse. I was born and bred in Egypt, with Arabic being my mother tongue. I have lived & worked in New Zealand since 2004 & I am a New Zealand citizen.

I have long experience in women's health since 1991 overseas. I also worked at Women's Health Unit at Palmerston North Hospital as a nurse for many years. I maintain a low case load of 2-3 / month. I provide home visits during pregnancy as required. Being a low case-load midwife means expecting a continuity of midwifery care/r throughout your pregnancy & beyond.

I work with you to achieve a positive childbirth experience regardless of the unique challenges that unfold during your maternity cycle. I have a certificate in Obstetric Acupuncture & I use several techniques to reduce the need for pain relief medications during child birth, including acupressure, acupuncture (free of charge), and water including but not limited to water birth.

I am currently living overseas and spend a few months every year in Manawatu area providing full maternity care. I will be available in November-December and to provide labour & birth only care and postnatal care for women who don’t have LMC midwife, those who had elective CS or women who choose to be under a community LMC midwife for the rest of their maternity care. If you think I am the right midwife for you please contact me on 0211751146.
