I was fortunate enough to find Kelly via this site and very lucky she had space in her busy schedule to fit me in. I didn’t get to know her well the first time we met but I didn’t hesitate to contact her 6mnths later when I fell pregnant again as I felt at ease from the very first visit. I had quite a few complications during my pregnancy which landed me in hospital for a week, every single day I was there I had a visit from Kelly. Even though she had been up all night with other women and was exhausted, she went out of her way to check on me and make sure I saw a friendly face. She even made time to come in to the hospital with us during my c-section to keep an eye on our baby. I found Kelly to be completely competent with a vast knowledge of midwifery and infant care. Kelly has a fantastic sense of humour and often had my partner and I giggling at her comments. She is very friendly, compassionate, bubbly and easy to get along with. Kelly is a beautiful, completely unselfish person whom I am terribly grateful to have had throughout my pregnancy and looking after my new baby. I wouldn’t hesitate to seek her out again. I highly recommend you do the same if you’re looking for a midwife who will make your pregnancy as special as it should be. Thanks Kelly =)

Kelly’s name was mentioned to me by a friend so I went for a hunt online and found her on here. I like the look so I decided to go and meet her. From the moment we sat down (albeit briefly) I felt comfortable and knew that she was “the one”. She was open and honest with me right from the start and was great at putting my nervous first time mum mind to ease. Once I went into labour Kelly was great. She came and saw me at home to check on me. Once we got up to hospital she was actually already there with another lady but came and examined me and explained that she’d have to call her back up. Luckily for me Kelly was able to make it a lot sooner than she thought. She was also great after we came home and was always on the end of the phone and never made you feel guilty about ringing in the middle of the night. I will most definitely be having Kelly again for my next and recommend her to all my friends

We found Kelly through this website, after getting a bit panicky that all the good midwives had been taken. But there was no need to panic after all because she ended up being a fabulous midwife. We gave birth to our little boy Sammy on 19th November 2008. Throughout the whole pregnancy, birth, and aftercare Kelly was excellent. The best things about her I found, were her approachability, the fact that she was supportive through whatever decision we made (and there were alot of decisions to be made!), and her experience and knowledge of the whole process. Thanks Kelly for being there for us, and we would totally recommend you to anybody out there looking for a fantastic midwife.

November 19th, 2008 at 6:05 pm eAfter a bit of a late dash to find a Midwife I was given the contact details of Kelly who was able to take me on due to her recent move back to the Manawatu. While Kelly was not my first choice for a midwife, I quickly found that she exceeded all my expectations.
Kelly is a professional, that is easy to see, but equally as important is her friendly and caring nature. Being pregnant for the first time can be stressful, but when dealing with Kelly I realised it can be a whole lot of fun too. During my pregnancy my husband and I found reassurance in knowing that Kelly could be relied upon and that she was always easily contactable.
Thank you Kelly for all your work over the last ten months. Be sure to save me a spot when it comes to our second!
