The team at Geelong Born aim to provide personalised and holistic care throughout pregnancy, birth and the early postpartum period. We work collaboratively with healthcare providers in both the private and public sector hospitals to provide the highest quality support and education. A little about Rosie...

Rosie has proudly been working as a registered nurse and midwife for over 16 years. During this time, she has worked in a wide variety of women’s health and maternity settings. Her role at Geelong Born focuses on independent childbirth education and birth support. She strives to empower, inspire and bring confidence to expectant parents. She caters for families giving birth in the hospital setting and for those planning a home birth. Rosie's maternity experience has also extended to the UK, interstate and now in her home town of Geelong. She has extensive experience in IVF and fertility nursing. She has a keen interest in childbirth education and has facilitated classes in both hospital and community based programs. Rosie has undergone formal training as a childbirth educator through CAPEA (Childbirth and Parenting Educators of Australia Inc). In addition to her work within Geelong Born, she continues to practice clinically in all areas of midwifery. This keeps her practice up-to-date and understanding of the current birth climate. Rosie is mum to her two girls, Ava 8 and Maggie 6 years of age. Her own positive birthing experiences have given her further drive to promote pregnancy and childbirth as a natural yet profound life event. She believes all births are unique and that women should be supported in a way that is individually tailored to their own needs. She draws upon knowledge as a mum and a midwife to ‘keep birth normal’ and avoid unnecessary intervention.

She is proud to be a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner and passionately believe this program gives couples the best chance of achieving the birth they dream of. She takes a relaxed and friendly approach during her classes and feels very privileged to be teaching expectant parents how to give birth in such a calm and positive way. QUALIFICATIONS
