I am an independently practicing midwife caring for women through out pregnancy, birth and the immediate period after their baby is born. I believe in women centered care, this means you being the decision maker in every situation and me being the provider of information and guidance. I am committed to family care. A woman is part of a family and families come in many shapes and sizes. A baby is important to many people and helps to open the hearts of all those around them. I take this into consideration when caring for families. I believe in a woman’s integrity and intuition and adjust my care accordingly depending on your needs helping you to find the answers and supporting your decisions. Babies are precious individuals. I will always consult you regarding your baby and make no assumptions. With gentle hands, respect and an open heart I will care for both you and your child.

I provide pregnancy and birth care and education to individuals, groups and students. I am a mother of three small children and have since taken a crash course in parenting with a large selection of books and resources that you may access. I am guided by the standards for referral set down by the Australian College of Midwives and will discuss with you all the reasons for referal prior to any action being taken.  In the hospital I will care for you and act as your advocate. The level of physical care I perform will depend on the staff of the day. However, my communication skills are excellent and I am always able to advocate in a positive and effective manner. I am respectful of your situation and beliefs and will help you to tailor your pregnancy care to your own needs. 

I hope you enjoy your birth and would be delighted to help.
