Private midwifery care is hard to explain until you've experienced it.

So instead of explaining it, we tried to describe how it feels. The best way we know how to tell you what we do, is to show you what it's like to be truly looked after.

Swipe through, and let us know if this resonates!

If you've been wondering whether private midwifery is right for you, a bulk-billed discovery appointment is a good place to start. There's no out-of-pocket cost, there's no pressure, and we'll answer every question honestly.

Birth isn’t something the body needs to be “taught” how to do ( in fact, birth education focuses on preparing the mind & support team)

Labour is a dynamic and natural process that prepares both mother and baby for the moment they meet. While textbooks describe neat stages, real birth often flows in its own rhythm.

A physiological birth mindset means trusting the body, supporting the process, and allowing birth to unfold as it was designed to.

Did labour look like you expected it to?

I mean, we spend countless moments smiling with families that are intimate and not always captured for socials... but this little moment was, so we're sharing the joy!

Midwife Amy was particularly smiling after seeing this, as she grabbed snacks that fuelled her before heading straight to another birth without time for any food!

Isn't this just so thoughtful?!

Continuity of care means having a known and trusted care provider throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.

Research from a national Australian survey found that women who experienced continuity of care with a midwife reported some of the most positive outcomes for both themselves and their babies, including lower rates of birth trauma and fewer medical interventions.

Beyond the clinical outcomes (which speak for themselves), continuity provides something equally important: a relationship. Having a care provider who knows you, understands your preferences, and can advocate for you during vulnerable moments can make a profound difference to the birth experience and to the ongoing wellbeing of both mother and baby.

Thank you to the amazing .dahlen & team, for your continued vital work in this space!

Feeling like you want to begin care but worried it's too early? There's no such thing!

Women and families deserve to access midwifery care from the very beginning, and actually there are many benefits to doing so.

There is no need to wait until second trimester to finally meet a midwife & begin sharing your thoughts, fears, hopes and having your questions answered. In private midwifery, our doors are open and we love meeting people as soon as they feel ready - it gives us an amazing opportunity to build relationships and really provide that wrap-around care that families love.

The first trimester is a vulnerable time for many, make sure you give yourself permission to access the care that you deserve from the beginning.

“I had Ellie’s guiding voice, my beautiful husband and sister-in-law holding me while I pushed and in what felt like the shortest time after, I was pulling my beautiful baby girl out of the water. The emotions were flowing and the sound of her cry was music to my ears.

It was a surreal feeling and something just so empowering.”— Bec

Today we celebrate the strength, courage and wisdom of women: including the incredible power of women to birth. 💛

Bec’s story is a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when a woman is surrounded by support, trust and care.

Happy International Women’s Day to the mothers, mothers-to-be, midwives, and the women who walk beside them through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

✨ If you’d like to learn more about our model of care, you can book a discovery appointment via the link in our bio.

Did you know that acupuncture may support your body during pregnancy by promoting circulation, reducing inflammation and calming the nervous system?

It can be especially helpful for those who have symptoms like..
Nausea & vomiting
Constipation
Insomnia
Headaches & migraines
Anxiety & low mood
Pelvic girdle pain
Back pain & sciatica
Carpal tunnel
Reflux & heartburn

Appointments run for around an hour, including time to explore your history and symptoms. You’ll then rest with the needles in place for 20–25 minutes; many clients enjoy a deeply relaxing “acu nap” and leave feeling refreshed and grounded.

Curious if it’s right for you? has availability in our Kensington clinic & is ready for you!
