Home midwifery care is so very close to my heart. ❤️
They say home is where the heart is.
And that is exactly the feeling I want you to have when you engage my pregnancy care.

I want my appointments with you to feel heartwarming, and for you to know that you can ask any question at all!
That is how we get to know each other. It is a little like speed dating at first.
Then each appointment we know each other that little bit more.

This is not to say I only support birth at home.
I am supporting wholeheartedly that your home is the place where I get to know you best, understand your needs, your life values, and what is most important to you, and your family.

You are generally more relaxed at home and feel comfortable and safe to speak freely. I am honoured to visit you in your private space and am so very grateful to have the opportunity to serve you in your pregnancy. One of the highlights of this care is that women are so much more in tune with themselves in the safety and sanctity of their own home space.

It is a great honour to be your midwife. ❤️

If you are pregnant and live in the beautiful Sunshine Coast Qld please reach out.
I'd love to find out if I'm the right midwife for you.

I offer a range of midwifery services.
Homebirth and hospital birth support. Pelvic body care and internal pelvic release work, birth and postpartum preparation, breastfeeding support and more.

Check out my website for more about me and my midwifery service and care.

HOW WOMEN BIRTH MATTERS.
HOW BABIES ARE BORN MATTERS.

This is not a trend.
This is the heart of midwifery.
This is why midwives do what they do.

Women and families deserve choice, continuity and the right to decide how, where and with whom they birth.

Right now, one of those choices is at risk here in Australia.

HOMEbirth is at risk.

From 1 January 2027, the current Professional Indemnity Insurance exemption for midwives attending homebirths is due to expire.

And, the proposed regulatory change that would require two endorsed midwives to attend every homebirth from 1 January 2027.

Without a second midwife, a planned homebirth cannot legally proceed.

This threatens the second midwife workforce, the future of private midwifery, and ultimately, CHOICE FOR WOMEN.

We need protect the choices that women have today because the choices we protect now shape the choices available to families tomorrow.

A little glimpse into part of my day as a midwife 🌿

A day is made up of so many layers.

Some moments are big.
Some moments are quiet and soulful.
Many happen behind the scenes.

There are births, of course…
but there are also the moments before and after.

The conversations.
The preparation.
Deep listening.
Holding space.
The reflections.
The paperwork 😉
The travelling.
And, lots of cuppas ☕️

The relationships built over time.

Yesterday included:
🐦 starting with birdsong and grounding in nature
🧘‍♀️ moving my body and nourishing myself at yoga
☕ everyday home rhythms
🚗 travelling country roads
🤍 visiting a new family in their early days together
💻 connecting with women preparing for birth
🤍 chatting with families enquiring into care
🌿 connecting with fellow midwives and sharing the wisdom of this sacred work
🎸listening to sweet guitar tunes by my son
✨enjoying my family coming together at dinner time.

I don’t have photos of every part of my day, but this little snippet gives a glimpse into the many threads that weave together my midwifery life.

I feel so grateful to be welcomed into the lives of women, babies and families.

Thank you for trusting me to walk beside you through these sacred journeys 🌿🤍

And, I’m so thankful for the people around me, who support me to keep showing up for the women, babies and families I serve. 🥰

✨Someone who can help you explore your options, answer the lingering questions, and support you to feel deeply heard, informed, and held in your journey.

Why do I care so deeply about birth politics and the future of midwifery. Because I have lived it.
As a woman.
As a mother.
As a midwife.

Over the years I have watched waves of policies, restrictions, and barriers threaten women’s choices around birth and the longevity of privately practising midwives. I have also witnessed the profound power of what happens when women are truly supported.

I trained in midwifery in Alice Springs, Northern Territory in 1998 to 1999 in a deeply experiential model of learning. I lived and breathed midwifery alongside experienced registered midwives. I learnt through immersion, continuity, mentorship, observation, responsibility, and relationship.
That training shaped my midwifery career.
It infused the art, soul, and rhythm of midwifery into my bones.

I trained in nursing through university and experienced a very different style of education - one that confirmed for me just how important experiential, apprenticeship style learning is within midwifery and health care.

This is one of the reasons I care deeply about protecting pathways and options for midwives, mentorship, and midwifery continuity models of care.

Because midwifery is not simply learnt from textbooks.
It is witnessed.
Absorbed.
Refined over years.
Passed from one midwife to another while caring for women together.

I have stood in advocacy spaces many times over the years because I believe women deserve access to safe, relational, respectful birth care.

I drove from the Blue Mountains to Canberra for the Mother of All Rallies with my own homebirthed baby.
I contributed to the Birth Trauma Inquiry as both a woman, and a midwife.

And now, I will have my say and speak up.
Birth is not fringe.
Birth is not niche.
Birth shapes women, babies, families, and communities.

And the quality of birth matters.

I invite you to pay attention to current birth politics. I’ll be sharing more over the coming weeks about the current NMBA consultation process and why so many midwives, mothers, and advocacy groups are concerned about the future of homebirth access in Australia.

Birth is political.
