Since going into private practice and offering my services as a private midwife, I have realised that for most of the general public...
..they have NO IDEA what that is!!

So, what is a private midwife?
✔️ A midwife who has done additional specialised education in prescribing and disgnostics.
✔️ A midwife who has done a minimum of 5000hrs of midwifery care in a 6-year period across the continuum of care - antenatal, birthing, and postpartum
✔️ A midwife who has undergone an approval and endorsement process through AHPRA

So what does this mean?
✨️ It means that a private midwife or an endorsed midwife can work independently, deciding the length, location and topics covered in appointments.
✨️ Order bloods and scans for women in their care.
✨️ Provide care to women and their families through their whole pregnancy journey through pregnancy up to 6weeks post birth.
✨️ Provide individualised, evidence based care for each woman and her family.

Did you have a private midwife?

I will be holding a free info session to discuss more about private midwifery care for those who have questions.

Dm to let me know your interest and receive more details.

Happy Mothers Day (for yesterday)

To the mothers..with babes in arms..babes in bellies..and babes in hearts

I hope you had a beautiful weekend spent with those who love and adore you.

This motherhood gig is NOT easy.
It is grueling, exhausting and sometimes defeating...

BUT

It is also the best learning journey...
The most reflection I have ever done...
And so incredibly rewarding...

How did you spend ?

Happy International Midwives Day!

A day I reflect on the incredible women and families I have worked with over my many years as a midwife. Whether educating or providing care in the hospital or the community.

Today, one of my private midwifery clients thanked me with this beautiful bunch of flowers.

This month, I have had numerous class clients contact me to share their positive, empowering birth stories.

The truth is, I am so honoured to provide this service and even more honoured to be invited by families into their journeys now.

I love being a midwife and I love the families I work with.

Another week and again, I hear this comment.

I love the idea of going with the flow in labour, surrendering to the ebbs and flows.

However, it is NOT a reason for not requiring education rather the opposite.

When you are labouring, you are in a vulnerable space, a primal space.
Privacy, safety, quiet, and darkness are all important.

Labour and birth is NOT the time for explanations, discussions, or figuring out your birth preferences.

This needs to happen earlier..with your care providers..with your partner..with your birth supports

This is an important part of ensuring you have the right provider, right team, and right environment.

The discussions and decisions in labour should be short, a revision of what you already know.

If plans or preferences change, these should have already been considered, discussed, and prepared....so you can indeed "go with the flow"

Do you want your care provider for pregnancy to be the same person every appointment?

1 person ordering, checking and discussing your investigations?

1 person to contact about concerns, questions, labour?

Do you want this same care provider to be there for you during labour AND birth?

In person, providing comfort, support and information or often saying nothing as you have discussed and prepared for this together with your support team.

Support for your feeding and recovery up to 6 weeks in your home, with no limit on number of visits or phone calls?

If this is what your looking for in your pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum journey, it sounds like you are looking for a private midwife.

If you want to know more about the difference in care with a private midwife, message to have an obligation free chat.

Yes, I know! I'm late 😆

As a midwife, I watch the strength and beauty of women so often in caring, teaching, working, birth, and so more.

There are so many women who have had such an impact in my life, my career, my journey to who I am, and what I do today.

I can't list them all. There are too many of them, but thank you to the women who raised me, taught me, walked my pregnancies with me and those who trusted me to be part of their pregnancies and births. To the women I work with, friends, walking with me as I raise my children.

Thank you.

How was your International Womens Day?

Hi I'm Charlotte!
I have had a lovely holiday from social media, however with exciting changes, I wanted to jump on and reintroduce myself.

I have a wonderful and supportive husband, and I'm a mum of 3 incredible and challenging small humans.

I'm a midwife with over 11 years working across 2 states in various settings, finding my passion.

I'm a childbirth educator of over 5 years teaching HypnoBirthing and creating a number of programs based on what women want, need, and my own personal experiences as midwife and labouring woman.

And now... A private midwife offering women and their families continuity of care for their pregnancy journeys, ✨️whether you only want antenatal and/or postnatal care
✨️ whether you want a homebirth
✨️ or whether you want support for your birth in hospital

I had the benefits of continuity of care for all my pregnancies and the benefits of 1 known private midwife for my last 2 babies.
I homebirthed my third bub in my childhood home with a team of supports around me.

With so much birthy stuff going on, I dont have a whole lot of free time, but I do love hanging out with the kids in the pool or out the back, reading and snuggling on the couch with a funny movie.
