The arms that hold you as you sway in time with your contractions
The grounding presence near you who knows how to watch & wait
& everybody in the room knowing what is important to you because those conversations have been happening long before this moment

If this is the kind of birth support you’re hoping for, we’re here for you

Meet our TWO new midwives!

We are so excited to welcome Anna and Ruth to our team! They are both wonderful, full of passion and already bringing a beautiful energy to the clinic.

You deserve to feel heard, to have unhurried appointments, a known midwife in labour and extended postnatal support.
To have care that feels aligned, supportive, and truly centered on you.

Choosing a private midwifery practice isn’t about something being “wrong” with other models, it’s about wanting something more personal, more connected and more empowering for this huge chapter.

What are you loving or not loving about your current care model?

Bridget spent some time today exploring potential options for a client who is now preparing for her caesarean birth.

Some of the things she chatted about?
Music playing in the theatre
Photographs being taken of baby being born
Skin to skin in the theatre
Delayed cord clamping (as much as possible)
Breastfeeding assistance in recovery room
Setting up her postnatal room with those items gathered for a birth space

Just to name a few!

If you also had a caesarean birth, what did you find really helpful in your planning?

“For this birth, I wanted to lean into that sense of trust and continuity — to birth in familiar light, to shower in my own space, to crawl into bed with fresh linen and my baby in my arms.”

After a fast, accidental homebirth with Lottie, Courtney chose to lean into trust, continuity and the quiet power of birthing at home for Jack’s arrival. Born en caul into his dad’s hands at 11:52pm, Jack’s birth was soft, instinctive, and deeply theirs.

We are so grateful to Courtney for sharing this beautiful chapter with us. ✨

Next up in our Meet the Midwife series is our founder, Kelly!

Kelly is honoured to be back at the helm of her “first baby,” MAMA, and is passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum; both as a leader and clinically when needed. She’s grateful for the incredible team that helps make positive transitions to parenthood possible for families across Victoria.

Have you had any love from Kelly before?

Midwife Marita recently visited the beautiful Bumi Sehat birth centre again!

Rooted in respect for nature, culture, and evidence-based care, Bumi Sehat supports mothers, babies, and families with community-led healthcare. Their mission says it all: building peace one mother, one child, one family at a time.

So inspired by the incredible work happening there. If you're able to support, we can't help but shout out their work!

Yes homebirth is safe, but the preparation behind it is very intentional.

Ongoing skills and drills ensure that we’re ready to support families safely, thoughtfully, and collaboratively.

We recently spent the day going through real life CTG scenarios and emergency training & team feedback in the simulation lab at ACU thanks to the incredible Kate Dawson and & of course the students who kindly volunteered to act out the birthing person role for us!

Book a bulk billed appointment t to learn more about safe homebirth with us!

Kelly is feeling really positive after spending time with as part of their "My Maternity Journey Expert Working Group".

When midwives, obstetricians, psychologists and consumers come together, meaningful change is possible.

Access to clear information and genuine choice in maternity care matters, and it’s encouraging to see this work moving forward.

What do you wish parents had access to knowing when they weigh up their choices on models of care in pregnancy? We had some recommendations that we are excited to see!

Labour asks for oxytocin, endorphins, and trust.
Being known by your care provider means that your energy stays where it’s needed most.

Continuity of care doesn’t remove the need for decision making but it sure does ensure that it is supported & your focus is protected for the ones that matter

A reminder worth saving if you are pregnant!
