West Auckland Midwives- Lolly Freeman I am an independent midwife working in West Auckland. I have a Bachelor of Health Science (Midwifery) and my midwifery philosophy is in keeping within the partnership model of midwifery care - I believe that pregnancy & childbirth is a normal physiological process & women should be encouraged, supported and empowered to trust in their body, thus giving birth in a way that they makes them feel safe and in control of their own experience. I believe as a midwife it is important to ensure that the woman and her family/whanau are provided with information about their care and options in a manner that is best suited to them thereby allowing them to make informed decision. I have a passion for ensuring that all women and their families from culturally diverse backgrounds and beliefs are respected and provided with midwifery care that reflects this.
