I am a registered Midwife with over 10 years experience. The focus of my practice is home birth..
It is my absolute pleasure to offer families a complete continuity of care service. Continuity of care means being able to provide antenatal care and education, birth support and complete post-natal care and breastfeeding support up to 6 weeks after birth.
I work to a midwifery philosophy in that I believe that pregnancy and birth are normal life events, not medical conditions. I believes that pregnancy is a special time and that pregnant folk require a special, close and trusting relationship with the person who will attend them in labour. This trust and connection is one of the important factors that make home birth a safe option for many..
In line with recommendations from the Australian College of Midwives, I works in accordance with the National Midwifery Guidelines for Consultation and Referral. I believe strongly in everyone's right to choose their care and to be fully informed about all factors that could affect those choices. As a midwife in private practice I can tailor your care to your needs, practice is not dictated by policy or time frames, but rather guided by the best quality scientific evidence available and your preferences.
I'm a mother of two grown daughters and live in Preston.
