Private Midwifery
Give birth where you feel safe.
I provide a range of private midwifery services including homebirth.
With a strong philosophy of safe, respectful and compassionate maternity care, I foster a women-centred practice that deeply honours transformational aspects of birth.
It is your birthright as a woman to be cared for with respect and kindness as you grow, birth and mother your baby.
How can I support you?
Private Midwifery Care for Your Childbearing Year
Women who are cared for by a known midwife are more likely to
Have a normal birth.
Have your baby at term and healthy.
Have a positive experience of labour and birth.
Be satisfied with your maternity care.
Successfully meet your own breastfeeding goals.
Having your own midwife gives you a chance to build a trusting relationship and knowing the person who will be there when you have your baby. It also means they know you and understand your specific hopes and needs. Source: ACM Cochrane

Drop-in clinic for pregnancy and postnatal care in Paddington
Drop-in times are available ad-hoc at the clinic, The Gathering Space, Paddington.
We have a range of talks, workshops and events to support your mothering and connect you with other women in your community.
Midwifery care (short appointments) is available during these drop in times and is bulk billed. All you need to do is pop by at the advertised times and you can have a cup of tea, a chat, hear something interesting and check in with a midwife or naturopath about whatever is happening for you.
Community Pregnancy Circle
Each month or so I host a pregnancy circle for expecting mums. This is open to all women at any stage of pregnancy.
These workshops are ideal for all stages of pregnancy and explore the inner work of pregnancy and preparation for birth and motherhood in a safe and supportive space, which is intentional and sacred.
Meet like-minded women and have space to really explore the changing landscape of your inner world and prepare for motherhood the way women have done since forever, with community, crafting, storytelling and connection.
j&am sessions
J&am sessions are weekly (or so) recorded conversations between myself and doula, herbalist, naturopath and all around legend Anna Maria Boelskov. We are 2 mums with 9 kids between us who love nothing better than to dive deep into aspects of birth, parenting and all things in between. We record some of these conversations for your entertainment and information. you can have a listen over on Soundcloud or on YouTube if you prefer to look at us while we speak.
Other events, FAHM, Midwives Circles and other things
There are so many ways we can get together out in the world. If you are a parent wanting to connect with myself and other midwives and families who get you come join us at our monthly meet up with FAHM (families and holistic midwives) at Centennial Park playground with Midwife Monica Moonen.
For the Midwives in Sydney I invite you once a month to meet, reconnect and hold space for each other as we share our experiences and embolden each other in our work through A Holding of Midwives All midwives working in all areas are very welcome. BYO crafts and all you need to be comfortable.
The glue that holds us all together is a Sacred Women’s Circle, where Anna Maria Boelskov and Myself will greet you every fortnight in The Gathering Space, to connect to your inner self, the seasons, the earth, the cosmos and each other. This is open to all women from Maidens to Crones and we invite you to bring an open heart and whatever you need to be comfortable.
From time to time special workshops and events will be open to attend.

Every woman should have access to quality midwifery care from the very beginning of pregnancy. Now you can.
No referral necessary. if you are newly pregnant and are seeking pregnancy tests, screening and support you can book yourself in and get help straight from home (lets face it, you may not be feeling so great and getting out of the house can be a bit tricky).
This appointment includes any initial pregnancy tests you want to opt in for including routine screening, and any ultrasounds if indicated.
Definition of a Midwife
A midwife is a person who has successfully completed a midwifery education programme that is based on the ICM Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice and the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education and is recognized in the country where it is located; who has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery and use the title ‘midwife’; and who demonstrates competency in the practice of midwifery.
Scope Of Practice
The midwife is recognised as a responsible and accountable professional who works in partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife’s own responsibility and to provide care for the newborn and the infant. This care includes preventative measures, the promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications in mother and child, the accessing of medical care or other appropriate assistance and the carrying out of emergency measures.
The midwife has an important task in health counselling and education, not only for the woman, but also within the family and the community. This work should involve antenatal education and preparation for parenthood and may extend to women’s health, sexual or reproductive health and child care.
A midwife may practise in any setting including the home, community, hospitals, clinics or health units.”
