We love being involved with pregnant women, their families and babies.

We believe that pregnancy and childbirth are normal life events and in the majority of cases proceed without any problems. Our midwifery skills are strong in picking up on problems early that may need a doctors involvement. We have an excellent working relationship with the doctors at Waitakere Maternity Unit and have no hesitation in referring you to them if we have any concerns about you or your baby.
