Back up midwives: Carol Hedgman, Sarah Bosgra, Kirsten Eady, Blaire Smith and Annette Norris.

Birth facilities attended: home birthing and Pukekohe Primary Birthing Unit.

General bio: I am a married mother with 3 almost fully grown children and several pets around the house! I live in Pukekohe just around the corner from the birthing unit.
