all things birth

I am a woman, a mother, a midwife...

I am a midwife, endorsed to utilise and share my skills in private practice (Australia).  I have academic credentials, namely a BScN (Canada); Cert Midwifery (UK) and MMid (Australia). My comments on every subject are not intended to be taken as an absolute - I simply discuss my thoughts, opinions, some of which are based on experience, gut feeling (intuitive knowing), articles, research and literature reviews.  The links and references I make to other sources are there for your use - whether for the opportunity to further explore the topic - or as a means to support you on your journey to self knowledge. Please do not take anything that I write, or say, as authoritative or as medical advice.  My philosophy is that we women are fully thinking, feeling human beings, and that as adults, we are capable of making our own discernments and decisions on what is true for ourselves. Each of us is our own expert and the birthing experience gives this  holy opportunity to explore who we are in a most intimate way. This is the beginning of Individualised care, the unique care package. This is taking responsibility for our own health and wellness. This is us, Blessed beyond measure.
