Kia ora and congratulations on your pregnancy! It is a privilege to walk alongside whānau during this special time. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are a normal and powerful life event. My role is to support you with compassionate and evidence-based care so you can make informed decisions throughout your journey.

I have worked as an LMC midwife for over 10 years and am committed to providing individualised, safe, and holistic care. I offer antenatal appointments in clinic, labour and birth care at Te Papaioea Birthing Centre, Palmerston North Hospital, or at home; and postnatal care in the comfort of your own home.

I work in close partnership with Janelle Clark, and we share our caseload of clients. You will regularly meet with each of us. Janelle and I share the same philosophy of care. We offer births at the birthing centre, home, and hospital. I am epidural certified and go to theatre if needed.

CLINICS:

Mon - 187 Main Street, Pahiatua

Thurs - 117 Ruahine Street, Palmerston North
