About Me

I am an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist with subspecialty qualifications in Maternal and Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound.

I trained as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in New Zealand. I moved to Brisbane to complete my Maternal and Fetal Medicine (CMFM) and Ultrasound (DDU) training at Mater Mothers Hospital, the largest tertiary hospital in Australasia.

Currently, as well as being a private obstetrician, I am Clinical Leader of Maternal and Fetal Medicine (MFM) and Women's Ultrasound at Wellington Hospital. MFM is a subspecialty that looks after pregnancies with complications, such as fetal anomalies or mothers with certain medical conditions or high risk pregnancies.

This practice is pleased to be one of the few to be able to offer personalised full specialist obstetric care. Some scanning is performed in the rooms and continuity of care for high-risk pregnancies can be maintained even if referral to Wellington Hospital is required.

I am a mother of two busy boys. I understand the mystery and joys of pregnancy. The change a new baby can bring into your life is enormous.

I have personal experience of a neonatal baby. I will be forever grateful for the care that was given to my son. Whilst it is a brief moment of his and my life those memories and raw emotions are forever engraved. It is part of the reason I was driven to do high risk obstetrics, to help women and their babies through this difficult path.

I have chosen the cherry blossom theme for my practice. As a flower, it is beautiful and delicate with a very short blooming season. It is a visual symbol of the feminine beauty of life and also how precious life is, how transient moments can be. Moments that are brief, but can be significant life events.
