Lorainne Cook

Midwifery Direct, Auckland Institute of Technology, New Zealand, 9 December 1999

Years of practice : Over 10 years

Philosophy of care:

I am happy to provide full independent midwifery care, or to share care with a specialist obstetrician. Ensuring you are fully informed at all times and supporting you in your personal choices, while making sure both mother and baby are healthy and safe is my absolute priority.

Back up Midwife: Jan Baker

Birth Facilities attended: North Shore Hospital

General Bio:

I have always enjoyed working with women and their families. As my children are indpendent adults with children of their own, I am able to commit to the lifestyle that independent midwifery requires. Over the last ten years I have supported many women and their families through their journey into parenthood.

My Bachelor of Health Science (Midwifery) degree allows me to work in a role I love, giving me fulfillment and allowing me to make lifelong friendships.

Family is very important to me and I like to spend my spare time with my children and grandchildren.
