Frequently Asked Questions
When can I contact you?
Can I pick & choose one service rather than commit to the full package?
My care is offered as a package because it provides continuity, clinical oversight, and holistic support throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey. One-off care does not provide the same safety or depth of care that women and babies deserve.
What areas do you service for a Birth Centre birth?
I support clients from Brisbane, Logan, and the Gold Coast.
How do you determine if a client is suitable for a Birth Centre birth?
Suitability is assessed through your booking consultation and ongoing antenatal visits. I follow the ACM Consultation & Referral Guidelines and Queensland Health Maternity & Neonatal Guidelines to ensure you and your baby’s safety. Together, we make informed decisions about the best place for you to birth.
When can I book in with you?
You can book in any time prior to 24 weeks’ gestation. Early bookings are encouraged, as I take on only a limited caseload.
What happens if my Birth Centre birth doesn’t go to plan?
We follow the Matrescence Birthing Centre transfer policy, which means transfer to the Gold Coast University Hospital (GCUH) if needed. At that point, I am no longer your clinical midwife, but I will remain by your side for support, advocacy, and education during your hospital care.
If my baby is early or late, how does that affect my care?
Timing and place of birth depend on your gestation, clinical findings, and hospital or Birth Centre policies. I’ll guide you through your options if your pregnancy falls outside the expected timeframe, and continuity of care continues regardless.
How many women do you care for at a time?
I intentionally take on a small caseload so that I can offer genuine continuity and presence.
What happens if you can’t be at my birth?
While I carefully plan availability, I also need necessary time off to rest and reset and unexpected events sometimes happen. I currently work 24/5 so if I am unavailable, trusted colleagues or the hospital team will step in, and your care will remain seamless.
Why is your private midwifery package so expensive?
Private midwifery care is a specialised service that provides 24/5 on-call support, clinical expertise, advocacy, and continuity of care that public models often cannot match.
My fees reflect:
- Running a private business with overheads and insurance
- Over 15 years of midwifery experience and 25 years of holistic practice
- The time, expertise, and commitment required to provide safe, individualised care for women and families
What is your experience & what qualifications do you hold?
I have over 15 years of midwifery experience (including student years) and 25 years of holistic practice.
I have worked as a registered, clinical, and endorsed private practice midwife across both public and private sectors, with experience in:
- Birth suite and postnatal wards
- Antenatal clinics and midwifery group practice
- Special care nurseries
- Private practice and home care services
I’ve also worked at two well-known private midwifery & obstetric practices in Brisbane.
My academic and professional qualifications include:
- Bachelor of Midwifery (Australian Catholic University, 2010)
- Endorsed Midwife postgraduate studies (Griffith University, 2015)
- Qualifications in bodywork/massage therapy, counselling, HypnoBirthing, Spinning Babies, nutrition, herbal and natural medicine, aromatherapy, among others
This broad training allows me to weave together evidence-based midwifery with holistic, integrative care.
What’s next for you in terms of training, goals & dreams?
I’m deeply committed to ongoing growth. My focus includes advanced training in nutrition, acupuncture for pregnancy, trauma-informed maternity care, and expanding integrative, woman-centred models of care for the future.
What happens if we are no longer the right fit?
This happens rarely, but if your health, your baby’s well-being, or the midwife/woman relationship is compromised, I may need to cease care. This is always done with respect, clear communication, and referral to appropriate services to ensure your care continues seamlessly.
