Congratulations on your pregnancy. The most exciting journey you will ever undertake. My daughter is now a grown woman but I can still feel the thrill and overwhelming love when holding her in my arms for the first time.

I would be honored to be chosen as your midwife and to assist you on that journey.  

Qualifications and Experience
Previously I was a nurse working at both Starship Hospital and National Women’s Hospital.  I qualified as a midwife in 2004 and have been an Independent Midwife in Auckland since then.

If your previous birthing experiences have been high risk medically or resulted in your needing specialist care, I am very experienced in high risk care and would be delighted to care for you, offering my experience, knowledge and support while accessing the appropriate specialist input for you.  

I am passionate about supporting women to achieve a natural vaginal birth who have previously needed a Cesarean Section.

I believe women have a more positive birth experience when they are surrounded by family and friends who support and encourage them to birth naturally. Dianne has facilitated many water births and believes that water use in labour and/or birth has a wonderful calming effect; therefore I encourage healthy women to use water where appropriate.

I have access to birth at Birthcare in Parnell, Waitakere Hospital in West Auckland,  North Shore and Auckland Hospitals. The best choice for your birthing facility is where you feel confident and safe and I am happy to discuss this with you.

Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss whether I would be the most appropriate midwife for you.
