Heather LaDell, LMC Midwife

Heather is a registered midwife and registered nurse.  She worked in women's health advocacy and nursing for ten years before immigrating to New Zealand and training as a midwife.  She is delighted to be providing community-based LMC midwifery care in Dunedin.

Heather builds a caring and supportive relationship with each woman and  encourages informed decision-making.  Partners and families are welcome and actively involved in the birthing journey to the extent desired by the woman. 

Heather facilitates births in the gentlest way possible for each individual woman and situation. She is skilled in the art of nurturing women to find their strength to birth under their own power and with dignity.

"I was first inspired to become a midwife when I gave birth eleven years ago, and the idea grew as friends started to ask me for support through their pregnancies and births. I continue to be amazed by the wonder of giving birth, and feel a real calling to midwifery. Being with woman who are birthing and mothering is engaging, joyous and creative work and I love sharing the journey with other women."
