Midwifery Service
Practice
I am a midwife that provides a locum service to a number of the LMC midwives as required by LMCs in the region. Also private post natal visits for obstetricians and LMC midwives as needed. I am also a lactation consultant.
I mainly do antenatal clinics and postnatal care. I have also specialised in lactation care for mothers and babies. A breastfeeding clinic is held each Wednesday at Botany Maternity between 9:30am and 3:00pm of which I do every second week.
I will be providing drop in lactation consultations in the Beachlands and Howick areas - locations to be advised.
I also do private lactation and postnatal visits in the Beachlands, Maraetai, Whitford, Howick and Botany areas.
Lactation home visits negotiable.
