Midwifery Service

Description

Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy! My name is Zoe and I am based in central Auckland working alongside my backup midwife. Each pregnancy is characterised by its own unique story and features, and my role is to use evidence-based practice to help provide the support needed, thus enabling me to nurture, foster and empower women and their families to have a positive pregnancy and childbirth experience - ensuring that the woman is fully prepared for the transition into motherhood. I am passionate about normal physiological births, providing women-centred care from pregnancy right up to birth and postnatal care. I have native proficiencies in English, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, and I have had extensive experience in terms of looking after women from diverse ethnic backgrounds.


Please text 0221234010. It is useful to include your due date, date of birth, where about you live in, whether this is your first baby, if you have any medical conditions. I have my clinic at Birthcare every Wednesday.
