Local midwife and lactation consultant with 20 years experience caring for families.

Sitting in the creek during an antenatal home visit today, mind blown by the fact it’s been 3 whole months immersing myself in my business exclusively and I’m so glad I took that time.

I will be going back to the world of working rostered shifts part time, where my ‘office’ is not quite as incredible as this, but which also holds its own rewards and opportunities for connection and being able to make a difference.

I am so lucky to have so many options to do meaningful work.
I will be continuing my private work so please still reach out if you are looking for midwifery or breastfeeding support going forward.

💕 The theme of this post is support. Seems like a no brainer to some people but to others seeking this out is enormous, especially if there is a history of people letting them down.

💕 I would like to acknowledge this Mum’s strength and share her words directly for anyone who resonates 🤗
I would like to offer a note on support.

Who you choose to be around you matters, especially your partner.
Do what you need to feel whole and safe.
I wish someone could of told me that first time around with someone else.
I chose to have a baby to my second husband with trauma from my first and it’s a vastly different experience.
I didn’t know that kind of support existed.
I would like to offer the voice to the silently suffering, ask for support from a friend or family member, you deserve to be supported and sometimes that means from someone other than we hoped.
Get the midwife, go to the group and ask for reliable support from someone that cares for you.

✨ I have been working on my nervous system and intuition and part of this process is recognising and following this intuition, then being open to trust and receive what comes…

An opportunity was presented to me this past week which I was excited about but needed training- then in comes the training opportunity right on time to go ahead with it…

Follow me to see how I may be able to help you with ni**le pain and trauma, blocked ducts and mastitis, caesarean and perineal healing and even haemorrhoids with a safe, evidence backed tool.

The handle may be Cairns Midwife Jo but I have worked with families from North of Cairns, down to Mission Beach and up to The Tablelands.
We live in such an amazing region and it’s beautiful to take the time to visit and re-visit the places I would, at times, take for granted living here so long, when I’m on the road doing home visits.
If you are looking for care outside of Cairns don’t hesitate to reach out. 🤗
Post inspired by today’s stop in at the magical Babinda Boulders.

💕 This theme has been so strong for me this week

I have witnessed mothers, sisters, colleagues and friends, even complete strangers, supporting each other through birth, mothering, at work, in the gym.
Stepping up, holding space, encouraging and supporting, showing generosity of spirit.
So grateful for the women of the world and the women in my life…

Parenting is a minefield of well meaning advice and ‘shoulds’ that just leave most of us confused, stressed and feeling guilty…

Breath work and nervous system regulation are also buzz words with ‘experts’ popping up all over socials.

I discovered The Reconnected when I started making big changes in my life and have felt the benefits.

Then I dove into their Parenting content and am continuing to learn so much about myself and my whole family nervous system.

If you are a new mum struggling with sibling behaviour after the arrival of a new baby, or about to become a Mum and thinking about what sort of parent you want to be, get curious…..

Having some time away in my happy place with family before I jump back into the birth portal 🥰🤰👶

🌟 270 appointments in my first 6 months! Thanks so much for everyone’s support!

🌟 There’s a story behind every number, but as I head south to spend a week with my family I’m reflecting on this year with gratitude and in awe of the women I have worked with 🙏💕

✨Spending time with expectant and new Mums I am privy to some of their deepest hopes and fears..

🌟 Many have their own mother wounds to work through

🌟Maybe this was something they never even really imagined for themselves yet here they are..

This is a journal from a local Mum I will be sharing with clients designed to give guidance around exploring these thoughts and feelings, values and relationships with self compassion.

Small moments to be present and take advantage of this huge transition to grow into the mother you want to be. 🤗

✨Such a beautiful oxytocin bubble and symbolic of the journey this Mum is on.

✨This pregnancy had her make space for healing.
✨It had her prioritising herself and letting herself accept the love and care she so deserves.
✨It made her expand
✨It made her surrender

Her baby came earth side in the space where she has done so much of this work, held by those that were on the journey with her.
She is choosing to stay in this space and continue to be nurtured during this important transition post birth.
