I gained my Bachelor of Health Science in Midwifery at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand before I began working as an Independent Midwife providing continuity of care to women and their families all over Auckland. I provided pregnancy, labour and birthing care in hospital, birthing centres and at home, and postnatal care for Mum and baby at home until 6 weeks. I provided breastfeeding support to those who needed it, alongside supporting new parents to gain confidence in those early weeks.

 

I jumped the ditch in 2016 in search of the sun, and began working permanently as a midwife at a Gold Coast private hospital maternity ward where I provided antenatal, labour and birth care and postnatal care on the ward, as well as teaching antenatal and parenting classes and community home visits. 

​

During my time on the Gold Coast and my experience having my first child here, I felt there was a need for more postnatal in-home support for new families in the first 6 weeks, and "Te Koha Midwifery Services" was born.

 

I graduated with my Postgraduate Certificate in Health Science (Midwifery - Complex Care) and my Prescribing for Midwives in 2020 to gain my medicare eligibility and prescribing rights here in Australia.

It's my vision to provide affordable, accessible midwifery care for Gold Coast Families and so here we are!

I work in a collaborative arrangement with two local obstetricians who I refer and consult with as needed and maintain consultation relationships with local paediatricians and GPs.
