Alisha Clayton - Midwife

Midwifery Service

Practice

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I’m Alisha and I work as a LMC midwife within Franklin and surrounding rural areas. I am passionate about working alongside women and their families in partnership and continuity of care to educate, advocate and nourish each journey.

Welcoming a new addition to the family is an intimate and significant life event that I feel honoured to be a part of. My philosophy lies within the primary setting and therefore promote and support physiological birth at Pukekohe Maternity Unit or homebirth.

I provide care throughout your pregnancy, birth and 4-6wks following the birth of your baby. If you prefer or require to be delivered at Middlemore Hospital then I am happy to provide antenatal and postnatal care.

My backup Midwifes are Megan Swarbrick, Keryn Mills, Claire Eyes and Elaine Rudkin.

Alternatively you can text or call me on 0211600922 between 8am-6pm Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours are treated as urgent and are reserved for the women in my care.

I take a small caseload that allows me to provide individualised care, I also run my clinics on Monday mornings out of the Pukekohe Hospital.
