Wow what a good idea to help mums find a midwife! I
know it was hard for me as a first time mum especially
to find out about different midwives. Im Beki, I'm a
mum to five and work with 6 other fantastic midwives
in New P lymouth. I offer full midwifery care to the
women in Taranaki. I like to center my practice around
my women and also encourage my dads to 'catch' their

My philosophy is one centred around empowered

advocated for. I feel that every woman and baby has
their own individual childbirth journey from conception
to birth and beyond and that I am there to support,
educate, champion, assist, or maybe, just, to be
present. I feel eternally privileged to be welcomed into
