Hi there, my name is Louise Hammond. I am 29 years old, & have been working as an LMC midwife since I graduated with a Bachelor of Midwifery degree in 2006.
I have a partner & 2 beautiful children. We are moving to Riverton mid July, & I am really excited about practicing midwifery in Southland. I will be working for SDHB to begin with, whilst building up my practice as an LMC (I will be joining a practice with 2 other midwives).
If you are pregnant & looking for a compassionate & caring midwife, I would love to hear from you! I will provide full midwifery care (during pregnancy, labour/birth, and the postnatal period), to women & families from the Riverton/Aparima area, as well as those living in Invercargill.
I offer home visits & home or hospital births.
I feel it is a privilege to care for women & families during their childbirth journey, & aim to support you & provide information which will empower you to make your own decisions along the way.
Had Louise with both babies and she was absolutely fantastic considering the second was an unplanned homebirth, excellent recommend to everyone
