About me
I am an experienced LMC midwife for all types of birth locations: hospital, birthing unit, developing nation work (worked for MSF Sierra Leone, West Africa 2023), and I definitely love my many home births (which includes a near zero transfer rate - because all is well).
I don't overbook and provide 1:1 care refreshed.
I'm a registered nurse. When I practised as a nurse I worked in SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit).
I'm a well rounded, experienced midwife who loves empowering women, being an advocate with great clinical skills knowing when to intervene or continue to keep observing and monitoring your baby and you in labour, discussing intervention with you when actually clinically necessary/indicated with informed choice and consent.
Skills: Advocacy, clinical knowledge & gold standard discussions, empowering informed choices, and happiness along the way. I am passionate about facilitating what's important to you and your partner - informed choice / consent!
I love my 'job'.
** Midwives order bloods, dating and other scans when indicated and write scripts for various maternity medication, we complete consented referrals - you do not have to see a GP unless you have a specific medical issue e.g. to discuss current medication you are already on / pre-pregnancy. **
My antenatal clinic location is NAPIER, Postnatal visits are at your home.
(I accept REPEAT CHB clients ONLY, antenatal location negotiated, PN visits at your home).
Please EMAIL an enquiry via the link ANY TIME.
TEXT is fine as well between MON - FRI 9am-4pm.
(Please NO PHONE CALL ENQUIRIES:- I might be sleeping / post birth and always have my phone on for urgent / birth calls. We'll chat at a booking appointment about when to always phone call or when to use text).
I will respond to any enquiries Mon-Fri, usually with a phone call to you, checking you can talk first.
Congratulations and chat soon!
