Louise Bell, LMC Midwife and Homeopath

Louise has fifteen years’ experience as a hospital and community based midwife in London and New Zealand. In London, she was a team midwife at the St. John and St. Elizabeth’s Birth Unit which offered a holistic birthing environment for women and their families. There she focused on promoting normal physiological birth, supporting parenting, and using water and complimentary therapies such as herbs and homeopathy to encourage a gentle and beautiful birthing experience for women.

Louise and her family immigrated to New Zealand in 2002 and Louise took up an appointment as a midwife in Kew Hospital Invercargill. She also pursued her passion for homeopathy and completed a four-year Diploma Course in Homeopathy.

For the last five years Louise has worked as a midwife and antenatal educator at Dunedin Hospital, and has also developed her private practice as a homeopathic practitioner. She is excited to now be going back into community-based midwifery and combining her passions for homeopathy and midwifery.

I gave birth to my daughter Isabella using only the healing power of water and homeopathic remedies to quell my fears during her birth. It was an amazing experience. I know that giving birth and becoming a mother brings joy as well as challenges that enable growth on many levels. I believe in the power of women to give birth naturally and spontaneously following the body’s own innate wisdom. I believe in safekeeping birth and supporting your choices, helping you to trust, think, research and do what feels right and safe for you.
