Lindz Carmichael - Hamilton

Midwife and Herbalist p 07 8568929 f 07 8568920 m 0212380821 lindz@mac.co.nz www.herbalmidwife.com

Birth is a normal physiological process perfectly designed by nature for women to bring their babies into the world. Birthing women need to be supported to have as much control over their care and should be encouraged to be active participants in self-care and informed decision-making.

I believe that birthing at home or in a birth centre is the safest option for well women. I am passionate about healthcare, women's health, pregnancy and childbirth. I have been practicing as a medical herbalist for the last 14 years and now combine my role as midwife to gently weave together my two professions.

My holistic approach to your care combined with partnership, honesty and trust can help you achieve a positive and rewarding birth experience. Continuity of care with your midwife is one way to achieve this during your pregnancy, birthing and postnatal time with your new baby.

I am available for pre-conception care and advice, pregnancy testing, full maternity services providing continuity of care, including pregnancy care, labour and birth and postnatal care, home births, access to birthing centres and hospital if needed. I also have a complete herbal dispensary available from my clinic rooms.

I support women to achieve a natural birth by utilising many non- pharmaceutical methods of pain management such as the use of herbal medicine, water, massage, hot and cold packs, aromatherapy, homeopathy, relaxation and encouragement.

I practice under the code of ethics and standards for practice of the New Zealand College of Midwives, of which I am a member. I am also part of the Waikato Home Birth Midwives Collective and supported by my colleagues.
