I specialise in care for women wishing to birth at Mangere birth unit. Water birth is offered here.

I am always always available to take on return clients regardless of availability stated here or your obstetric history,

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.
