Choice belongs to families.

In how they birth.
Where they birth.
Who they invite into that space.

Birth isn’t one-size-fits-all - it’s deeply personal
Every family deserves to have informed and supported choice

From freebirth to elective caesarean and everything in between.

Support belongs to midwives, partners and doulas.
The hands that hold, the eyes that see, the quiet presence that trusts the process.

It’s not about control
It’s about connection, and collaboration.
Holding space, not power.
Working together to support the woman.

Birth belongs to women.

Not systems.
Not policies.
Not anyone else’s expectations.

Always has and always will.

Yes, the media love to label it all “homebirth” because the baby was simply born at home. But there is a difference between having a midwife who has extensive clinical skills and not having one…

Both are valid options if you choose them knowing the risks and benefits for you as an individual - like everything.

However, homebirth in the research is a very safe option for a majority of women!

A free birth is when a woman chooses to have a baby, usually at home, without a registered midwife or doctor in attendance. It’s much riskier than a planned home birth.

If you are planning a pregnancy, newly pregnant, starting to think about your care options, or have realised your care provider and you are not aligned - here's your gentle reminder: these spots are limited to give you the care you deserve.

Private midwifery care means:
✨Care that feels personal and consistent
✨Support from conception, through pregnancy, labour and birth, and up to 6-8weeks postpartum.
✨Homebirth or hospital birth (yes, that's right, you don't have to only want a homebirth to have a private midwife)
✨Evidence-based care that see's you - not just your chart
✨Access to my reading library (hard copies and digital copies available)
✨Access to my labour support items (birth pool, birth sling, TENS machine, rebozo etc)
✨Care that meets you where you are at and walks with you.

Because birth isn't just one day - it's an entire journey. You deserve to feel supported through every step.

📩My inbox is open if you'd like to chat more about what private midwifery care could look like for you. Otherwise, the link to enquire through the website is in my bio.

Note* I can still provide antenatal and postpartum care, as a package or individual appointments in addition to this

We’re told to wait until 12 weeks.
To stay quiet — just in case.

But here’s the truth:
The silence doesn’t protect us.
It isolates us.

Pregnancy after loss.
Loss after joy.
Joy and grief tangled together — it’s all part of the story.

If we only celebrate pregnancies after 12 weeks,
what message are we sending to those walking through the hardest parts of it alone?

Every pregnancy matters.
Every loss matters.
Every story deserves to be spoken.

You don’t owe your silence to anyone.
Announce when it feels right for you.
Grieve when you need to.
Celebrate when you can.

There’s no “safe” time — only your time.

💬 Let’s open the conversation.
Have you ever felt pressure to wait until 12 weeks? How did it feel?

No Queensland woman should be locked out of work due to the cost of job-seeking.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Future Women to support Queensland women who want to re-enter the workforce.

Whether it’s workwear, childcare, training, recertification, tools or tech - grants of up to $4,999 will be available to eligible Queensland women to help reignite their careers and assist with the costs involved in being ‘work ready’.

Applications open on November 3.
