Frequently Asked Questions

This page answers some of the common questions women ask when exploring private midwifery care, education, or support. If you are early in pregnancy, planning birth, or simply orienting yourself, you are very welcome here.

  • A private midwife offers personalised, continuity-based care through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. This may include antenatal appointments, birth preparation, planned homebirth care, and postnatal support. Many women choose private midwifery for time, relationship, and steady, individualised care.

  • My approach to private midwifery care in Sydney is relational, evidence-informed, and woman-centred. Care may involve a single appointment, a series of structured consultations, or full continuity across pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Appointments are unrushed and shaped around your needs, values, and circumstances.

    Care options are outlined on Clinic Pathways.

  • Many women reach out early in pregnancy, particularly if they are considering continuity of care or homebirth, as availability can be limited.

  • No. My work is not therapy or counselling. Clinical appointments provide midwifery care and education, and workshops are educational in nature. If you are seeking mental health support or therapy, I recommend working with an appropriately qualified practitioner.
