❤️‍🩹Healing, Birth and Empowerment 💪💚

This is a little snippet of my chat with Jess The Midwife on the Parenting Collective Podcast. Jess is a passionate Midwife, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, HypnoBirthing & Antenatal Educator, and Australia’s first Birth Trauma Resolution Therapist.

Jess is redefining what it means to feel supported through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She provides compassionate care for families navigating both the beauty and the challenges of birth, especially for those healing from birth trauma. Whether in person in Melbourne or online across the globe, her work is filled with warmth, empathy and empowerment.

We spoke about everything from colostrum collection before birth, to breastfeeding preparation, to finding emotional safety after a traumatic birth. Jess’s All-In-One Antenatal Expressing Kit is such a brilliant tool for new mums wanting to feel confident and ready and her insights on trauma healing are simply powerful.

This episode is a must listen for anyone wanting to feel more informed, prepared, and emotionally supported on their parenting journey. Jess is the gentle guide every new parent deserves by their side.

Much Love
