I believe that pregnancy and childbirth is a natural, normal process that accentuates wellness.
Pregnancy is a momentous occasion in a woman's life and a time when she comes to know her body intimately.
I believe pregnancy and birth should be empowering experience for the woman and her family.
I believe in sharing my knowledge and information so that women can make the best choices for themselves.
I believe in minimal interventions but acknowledge when to use technology. I keep up to date with options that are available.
I respect the choices that women make and support them in their decisions.
I respect and appreciate cultures which are different from my own.
To provide quality care to women throughout their pregnancy, during their birth experience and in the 6 weeks following birth.
To ensure that the quality of my care is of the highest standard. To achieve this I will only be available to assist 4-5 women birthing each month.
To be enthusiastic and passionate about my job. To do this I will be taking regular breaks and holidays. I will inform you you these times and arrange a midwife to be available.
To undertake a yearly review of my practice.
To have a research based practice.
To the future generation of midwives so at times I will have a student alongside me.
To seek expertise from other specialists when necessary.
To document the care I provide and give a copy to the woman.
