Clinic Owner / LMC Midwife

As a mother and a midwife, I believe pregnancy is a natural part of life not a medical event to be managed, but a journey to be supported.

My role is to walk alongside you, honouring every aspect of your wellbeing physical, nutritional, spiritual, and cultural and ensuring both you and your baby are thriving at every stage. My goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and genuinely confident as you move through pregnancy and into labour.

I work in true partnership with you, your whānau, fellow experienced midwives, and specialists when needed because the best outcomes happen when everyone is working together with the same care and intention.

I am proud to offer care across Tauranga Hospital, Bethlehem Birthing Centre, and Home Birth settings, so your birth experience reflects what matters most to you.

Clinic Owner / Midwife

My passion for midwifery only continues to grow, rooted in the belief that childbirth is one of life's most natural and profound experiences.

While I'm currently taking a break from on-call midwifery, I remain deeply connected to the clinic, continuing to support women and their whānau through every stage of this incredible journey.

I'm also incredibly proud to have built and launched Everything Pregnancy, a dedicated app designed to support and guide you through every milestone of your pregnancy journey, right at your fingertips.

The team at Leading Midwifery Care are here to help. Simply fill out the registration form and Chloe will be in touch to arrange your first appointment.

Clinic Midwife

Meet the wonderful Chloe! Chloe is our dedicated clinic midwife and often the first point of contact for many of our clients.

She’s the friendly face behind our email replies and will support you through the early stages of your pregnancy. From organising your initial blood tests and scans to helping you connect with a Lead Maternity Carer or the hospital team, Chloe is here to ensure you feel informed, supported, and cared for every step of the way.

Kia Ora Im Chloe, and I’ve taken over the Early Pregnancy clinic here at Leading Midwifery Care. In which I give early pregnancy care and assist helping to find an LMC midwife for those struggling with the current shortage of midwives and/or help with the transition to the hospital midwives if needed. I’ve been based in the Waikato for the past 3 years working primarily at a rural birth centre. And I have recently relocated to the beautiful BOP. Hoping to explore the area enjoying hikes and good food. In the pregnancy journey I believe knowledge is power.

I believe deeply in the innate strength and wisdom of women and birthing people. Each body is uniquely designed for birth, and I trust in the instincts, intuition, and knowledge that women carry.

My role is to walk alongside you, providing skilled, compassionate care and empowering whanau to lead their own journey with guidance, education and information. I look forward to meeting some of you and assisting in your journey

Hello and congratulations on your pregnancy!

My name is Kelsey Jamieson, and I am a Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) based in Tauranga.

As a mother of two daughters, my own journey to motherhood inspired me to become a midwife. 

My role is to support and guide you through your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey, transitioning into motherhood. My goal is to help you have a fulfilling experience that is well-informed, empowering, and fully supported, so you can make the best choices for you and your whānau.

I provide comprehensive care throughout this important time.

LMC Midwife

Hey, I'm Raigan! Originally from the UK, my family made the move to New Zealand over 20 years ago and I have been lucky enough to call this beautiful Bay my home ever since.

I found my calling in midwifery a decade ago and have never looked back. Outside of work, I am a māmā to four three wild-spirited, beautiful boys, and our precious rainbow baby girl, Tully, who made our family complete. We live on a small lifestyle block where life is full in the best possible way growing our own food, tending to our sheep and chickens, and soaking up everything this lifestyle has to offer.

As a midwife, my goal is to support and empower you to make informed choices throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey choices that are truly heard and respected. I love sharing knowledge and walking alongside you so that you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

I am passionate about promoting physiological birth and primarily work with women who plan to birth at home. In times where birth takes an unexpected turn, I work closely with a wider team of health professionals to ensure you receive the very best care and the most positive experience possible.

I cannot wait to meet you and be part of your story.

I was born & raised in Tauranga and am excited to be home after living in the Hawkes Bay & Bay of Islands for 6 years. I have experience in remote rural, home & hospital settings, and am most passionate about supporting women to birth in the comfort & security of their own homes.

I provide holistic, personalised care and guide you to make informed choices that work best for you & your family. I have a deep trust in the body’s ability to grow, birth & nurture our babies. But I also acknowledge that birth can be unpredictable and sometimes intervention is needed to protect your wellbeing.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Expecting can come with a wide range of emotions, and it is my job as a midwife to work alongside you, ensuring you feel supported and cared for.

Throughout this time, I will share evidence-based research, discussing different options available to you so that you can make the best decision for you and your baby. Every pregnancy and child birthing journey is different, because of this I tailor my care to you and your whānau’s individual needs.

I provide holistic care that considers the different elements of childbirth, including the psychological and social aspects. While pregnancy and childbirth are physiological, some women may have varying types of complications.

It is my job to recognise these and bring in other health/medical professionals to provide you with wrap-around care that keeps you and your baby safe.

Whether your journey unfolds exactly as planned or takes an unexpected path, I will be there to advocate for you and work alongside the wider healthcare team to help you achieve the best possible experience for you and your baby.
