Marie Chopin-McCarthy
Midwife means 'with woman'
As a midwife I am your advocate and empower you in all your pregnancy choices. Although childbirth is a normal life event, it is also a sacred and spiritual time for you and your family/whanau.
Facilitating your baby's journey into this world is a great occasion. To be the midwife you have entrusted to birth your baby, for me is a very wonderful and special privilege.
The heart of my philosophy is that you and your family/whanau deserve the best care during your pregnancy.
