Kia Ora & congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m a registered midwife working as an LMC in the Northwest region. I graduated with a BHSc in Midwifery & have spent over a decade working as a midwife in a high risk hospital & also as an LMC. I love the ethnic diversity that comes with working in this job; I find it incredibly humbling and an immense privilege to to be such a close part of this journey together with the families I care for. My joy over the years is having my families come back with subsequent pregnancies and seeing their babies grow into amazing children! My philosophy is built on forming a close & trusting partnership with my women & encouraging you to stay fit, active & healthy during your pregnancies. I’m comfortable to assist you to birth your baby at home, at a birthing unit or in the hospital. I would encourage you to trust in the natural process of birth where the situation allows & to avoid unnecessary medical interventions where this is appropriate. My clinic is in Kumeū on a Monday.
