About Me
I registered as a Midwife in 2019 and now work as an Endorsed Midwife and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I work as a Medicare-eligible Midwife offering homebirth and lactation services, and am deeply passionate about providing quality care. Offering this type of care is very special to me as I personally experienced the benefits of continuity of care and homebirth with my daughter.
I am a mother, wife, follower of Christ, and friend. I love creating things, building strong relationships with people, gardening, crafting, challenging myself, and reading obscure studies and quirky research. My goal is to have every woman and her family walk away from the care provided feeling supported, advocated, empowered and cared for.

Frequently asked questions
-
Definitely. Contact me and we will figure something out.
-
There is a large amount of research demonstrating the safety of home birth. Midwives offering home birth carry emergency equipment and have extra training. There are always two midwives at a homebirth to keep both mother and baby safe. Contact me and we can have a chat about the safety of homebirth for your specific pregnancy and birth.
-
Pain relief options at home include water birth, shower, TENS machine, massage, heat and movement. If you are wanting nitrous oxide I can provide this, however this incurs an extra cost.
-
There is the option to transfer into hospital if it is medically indicated or if you choose to transfer. If this happens, I will come with you as a support person.
-
Definitely. I also provide the pool.
