Jan Johnston

Nestled in the heart of Canterbury since 2000, Jan Johnston has been a beacon of tranquility and nurturing care for expectant mothers and growing families. Founded by Jan herself, a midwife with a deep-rooted passion for supporting women through their unique maternity journeys, our practice has become an integral part of the community. We understand that childbirth is more than just a physical experience; it's an emotional rollercoaster filled with anticipation, excitement, and sometimes fear. That's why our team of compassionate midwives places equal emphasis on providing prenatal counseling, pain management, and emotional support to ensure our clients feel empowered throughout their pregnancy. Our approach is holistic, encompassing prenatal massage as an essential part of our care. We believe in the healing power of touch and how it can help alleviate tension, reduce stress, and promote relaxation – not just for the expectant mother but also for her growing baby. Our tranquil space, filled with soothing aromas and calming music, is designed to provide a sanctuary where our clients can connect with their babies and find solace amidst the chaos of life. Jan Johnston is more than just a midwifery practice; it's a haven where every client is treated like family. We celebrate each milestone – from the first ultrasound to the moment of birth – and offer postnatal care to ensure a smooth transition into motherhood. Our commitment doesn't end there; we continue to support families as they navigate through the challenges of raising a child, providing guidance and reassurance every step of the way. So, if you're looking for a midwife who truly understands your needs, someone who will walk with you through this remarkable journey, then look no further than Jan Johnston. Here in Canterbury, we've been helping families grow for two decades, and we can't wait to welcome you into our family too.
