Congratulations, it is likely you are a Woman with Child, and looking through this website because you are wondering about your options as you plan to welcome new life into your family. Maybe for you, it will be a midwife that will walk this journey with you, by your side, professional, skilled, and loving, supporting you make decisions and empower you and your family to pave a way that suits you best. Knowing your midwife, throughout this transformative experience is known to have many benefits, whether it is feeling like you are the centre of all of the decision making, personal satisfaction, or a desire to have a natural labour and birth. Having a trusted midwife by your side can bring a sense of support and ease during your transition into parenthood, providing a solid foundation for the years to come.
As a Homebirth Midwife in private practice, I offer care during your Pregnancy, Birth and the Postnatal period. I facilitate and educate all aspects of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal time, tailored for you and your family’s needs, and I am experienced with supporting you and your choices for feeding your baby.
A midwife may not exceed richness in dollars, but the richness she experiences loving a woman with child is priceless.
Antenatal Care
Care during your pregnancy
Antenatal Care
Care during your pregnancy
Care during your pregnancy, may be all that you require from me, that’s ok.
During our antenatal appointments I will focus on providing you with a safe space so you may feel heard and supported at each visit. I will check on your physical and emotional wellbeing, checking your body, heart and soul are coping well with the pregnancy.
In my role as a Private Midwife I can provide you with referrals for blood tests and ultrasounds, and a prescription should you require. During your pregnancy my aim is to empower and inform you to make the choices that suit you and your family, for the imminent birth and the meeting of your baby. As you head into the third trimester, if desired, I can work with you and your partner to show you the benefits of preparing your body and making space for baby in preparation for birth.
Woman Centred Care means YOU are at the centre of this journey
Postnatal Care
Care after the birth of your baby
As your Midwife, I provide care for you and your baby for up to six weeks after the birth. I will visit you at home, checking on your physical and emotional wellbeing, and checking up on baby’s transition into the world. I am experienced in breastfeeding support and will guide you where needed. In the event I believe you or your baby may need assistance beyond my scope of practice, I will advise accordingly. My aim is to assist you to be comfortable and trusting of yourself, and your baby, during your transition into motherhood.
I believe in the intuitive nature of parenting, and feel honoured to
witness women become mothers
to each new baby with
choice, confidence and belief.

Birthing at home is not a new concept but, after a century of birth being placed in hospital, many families are choosing to safely birth at home once again, and I am here to support you and your family in making this happen. All homebirths require a second midwife, this will be discussed during our first appointment, as will any limitations of practice and boundaries that need to be recognised for safe practice.
Included in the Homebirth package; antenatal and postnatal care, on-call birth support, birth education and breastfeeding information to suit you and your partner, hire of birth pool and liner, 4 hours of care immediately post-birth, daily visits post-birth for 3-4 days, and regular home visits for 6 weeks. At the end of our time together, I offer you a little ceremony at home, this ceremony sees the end of this transition and a bringing you back from the expansiveness of birth.
