General Bio: I have been practicing as a Midwife since 1985. I work primarily in West Auckland with my clinic rooms based in Glendene. My commitment is to west Auckland women so I prefer to attend women birthing at home or at Waitakere Hospital although I will attend at Birthcare Auckland. I started as a Lead Maternity Carer in 1990 and since this time have had the privilege of meeting hundreds of lovely families across Auckland. I still love the work I do and manage a caseload of around 50 women per year so that I can give my time to women and to my family.
