I am currently prioritising new clients who plan to birth at the Mangere Birth Unit Nga Hau. Water birth is offered here. If you are a repeat client of mine, I will care for you regardless of planned birth location,

I have been a practising midwife for 5 years in Mangere and have continued to passionately facilitate physiological birth. I strive for my clients to feel at ease, well informed and confident in their body and midwifery care. I will be your advocate for normal birth and support you and your whānau to navigate any challenges and decisions that may arise in your journey as parents.

Please note that if risks arise, my team and I will continue to provide midwifery care to you and your family at Middlemore Hospital.

Please email me rubyshirley.midwife@gmail.com Your name, date of birth, due date, medical and obstetric history, is helpful! Responses may be delayed due to the demands of midwifery care to my current clients,
