Services

·         My services include 24 hour on call from the time of booking with me, full prenatal care, attendance at your birth and postnatal care for 6 weeks.

·         I am able to use the services of other local midwives if the need arises. 

·         Should you or your baby require consultation with a specialist during your pregnancy or in the first weeks of your baby being born I will arrange for you to meet with the most appropriate health professional.

·         As a holistic practitioner I will assess you and your baby’s physical well being throughout pregnancy, birth and beyond, as well as the emotional needs of you and your family.

Prenatal Care

·         I provide approximately ten unhurried prenatal visits in my home office in Henderson. As each woman needs different amounts of information and care this is flexible to ensure your needs are met. I also provide prenatal massage as well as pre natal parenting techniques.

·         Full information about benefits and risks of the many aspects of maternity care will be explored enabling you to make fully informed choices regarding your care.

·         I will arrange for any tests and screening if they are required by you.

·         I have an extensive library of books, articles and videos available to all my clients.

The Birth

·         It is important for women to be able to explore the options of where to give birth. Finding the safest and most comfortable environment is an important part of the birthing experience. I have found that most women feel that home is the place they feel most confident in themselves and their baby with the least fear about unnecessary intervention.

 ·      I have experience with many types of pregnancy and births, including home birth, water birth, vaginal birth after caesarean section and hyponobirthing which I highly recommend.

 Postnatal Care

·         The postnatal time is the chance to really enjoy your baby and celebrate his or her arrival. I am there to answer any questions you may have and help you with the transition to including the newest member of your family.

·         I provide daily contact over phone at first, reducing them as less support is needed and the confidence of the mother grows.

·         I offer extensive breastfeeding support to all clients as required.

·         All clients receive a copy of all their pregnancy, birth and postnatal notes to keep after the six week final visit.
