Midwifery, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, 7 August 2002

Years of practice: over 10 years.

Philosophy of care: I believe that pregnancy and childbirth are normal life events.

Back up midwife: Annette Norris.

Birth facilities attended: home birthing and Pukekohe Primary Birthing Unit. If you require transfer to Middlemore Hospital during labour I will accompany you.

General bio: I have been a self-employed LMC midwife since 2002, working in the Franklin area (Awhitu/Waiuku/Otaua/Pukekohe/Tuakau/Glenbrook/Bombay/Drury/Pōkeno). I give first preference to women in Waiuku as that is my home town. I am experienced with water birth and home birth. I also have experience with providing antenatal and postnatal care for high risk pregnancies, including women who have previously had c-sections. I am also happy to provide postnatal care for women who are under specialist care until they have birthed. My clinics are held at Pukekohe Maternity Unit.
