I believe pregnancy and childbirth are normal, physiological life events. I provide individualised, safe, and woman centred care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period up to six weeks. I believe in empowering women to make informed decisions around their pregnancy and their baby/s. I have been working as a core midwife at North Shore Hospital and am currently making the transition into LMC practice as I am passionate about providing women continuity of care that is individualised to each woman's needs. I involve the right health professionals in a timely manner if the need arises, to keep both you and your baby safe. I am also happy to support women who want a vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) and water births. I also provide supportive care for young teenage mums to be.
