On the 12th January 2020 she wrote...
"It is SAD to say goodbye, but after much consideration and deliberation, I have to inform all that are interested that I will be ceasing to provide Obstetric care under KINDRED. I will, of course, continue to care for all those that I have already commenced caring for but I will not offer any more private Obstetric services to any new clients. I will for the foreseeable future continue to provide Gynaecological care and all enquiries are welcome. I want to thank every client that has enriched my life and entrusted me with their care. I truly have loved being a part of so many fruitful and challenging journies.
The reason for this change is quite simply to concentrate on nurturing my own family and enjoy that which I promote in my practice, something which proved to be at odds with the commitment I have to provide all-encompassing holistic care in my practice. I will be concentrating more on my public hospital role as an obstetrician whilst still providing my private Gynaecological care.
I wish to thank all that have been aware of this vexing decision and have given me support and affirmations, I truly have been blessed with so much love personally and professionally."
