Antenatal Care
Pregnancy is a special and personal time. During your pregnancy we will spend time getting to know each other in order for me to understand your hopes and aspirations for your birth, and beyond. Together we will build a trusted relationship that offers you the freedom to express your needs and desires with confidence. Antenatal visits will take 1-2 hour and will be monthly until 32 weeks, fortnightly until 36 weeks, and then weekly until birth.

Labour and Birth Care
I often imagine a world where all babies are born in peace, a world where all babies are received by loving hands. Gently birthing your baby at home is a safe and filling choice for many families. Welcoming your baby with the support of a midwife that you know and trust can be a very satisfying experience. Throughout pregnancy I will support you to make informed choices to ensure you feel confident and safe in your birth space. During labour, I offer holistic care for you and your baby, always respecting your autonomy and self-determination.

Postnatal Care
The early days and weeks after having a baby can sometimes feel like a little bit of a blur. Post natal care for mother is a special time to indulge in the pure bliss of a new life. Having care in your own home cultivates a space of wellness, and allows for nurturing of your physical and emotional health. I love holding space for families to discover their own unique values and expressions of parenting. Postnatal visits are individualised to the families needs and desires. Private Postnatal Care visits on the lasts for 1-2 hours and a typical schedule of visits is Day 1, 2, and 3, Day 5, Day 7, and then weekly to 6 weeks.

Community Give Back
I offer a limited number of subsidized rates and bulk billed care to women wishing to have a home birth but can not afford to pay for a private midwife. Formal referrals for the community give back program will be prioritized over self referrals. My service runs on a pay it forward rate whereby equal opportunity is offered to all women who wish to access care from a private midwife. Please ask about the community give back program if you would like to be involved or offer sponsorship.
