Congratulations on your pregnancy! I qualified in 2007 in Christchurch before moving to Gore with my family. I live with my husband and 3 teenage/adult children. The role of your Lead Maternity Carer has a massive impact on your childbirth experience. Primary Health services play a vital role in our rural communities. I am able to refer you to other health professionals that may be required for optimum health and care of you and your baby. I provide midwifery services in Gore and the surrounding districts, I hold access agreements to Gore and Southland hospitals, also at home. I support all women's choices including water birth or epidural. I believe in providing continuity of care unique to each and every woman.
Kia Ora. Congratulations! I am a midwife based in Gore with my husband, and together we have four children. I have trained and worked in Gore since 2009. My goal as your midwife is to make sure you have the best pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience possible. Midwifery is a unique opportunity to work with women and their families, sharing knowledge, respect and information. My practice is tailored to each woman's own journey, based on family, supporting normal physiology, current research and best practice. I have a passion for empowering women and whānau to make informed choice and decisions relevant to them rather than one way fits all. By working together we will ensure your experience is one that is centred around you and ensure you know all of your options and choices for you and your baby. I support women and their families through normal healthy pregnancies, and the not so normal when we can work with other health professionals to ensure both you and baby get the best care before, during and after birth. I support birth at home and Gore maternity and fully support waterbirth. For pregnancies with complications I support birth at Southland hospital in Invercargill.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am a registered midwife based in Gore. I have lived in this district all my life and am now bringing up my children here also. I am excited to be able to work with women and their families as they go through pregnancy and childbirth. Midwifery is something I have always been passionate about. I offer full midwifery care from preconception through pregnancy, labour, birth and up to 6 weeks postnatal. I work in Gore and surrounding disctricts and will support birthing in the Gore maternity unit including water birth as well as supporting women who choose to home birth and those who birth at Southland hospital. I believe having the right midwife can have such an impact on the pregnancy and birth experience and I believe in working with all the family in an inclusive way.
Kia Ora. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am a Gore based registered midwife who has been providing care locally since graduating in 2016. I live with my husband and two young children and am passionate about providing individualised care to women in our rural community. I love working with families, both in the community as an LMC, and also as a core midwife in our Primary Birthing Unit at Gore Hospital. I work alongside women throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal period in the Gore and surrounding areas by empowering them to make informed choices and decisions that ensures the best possible experience for both Mum and baby. I support waterbirth, primary birth in Gore, and for complicated pregnancies, also birth at Southland Hospital. I believe in finding the right midwife that supports a partnership with open communication, continuity of care, and ultimately women's choice. I am proudly supported by my midwifery colleagues at Māruawai Midwives, and am excited to hear from new and returning families to embark on this incredible journey!
I am a mum to 6, I live rurally and have a passion for providing rural woman and families with continuity of care, informed choice and decision making throughout their maternity care.
