Nurturing Newborns

Nurturing Newborns

Since starting midwifery 6 years ago I have discovered the importance of continued support and care for mothers and their newborns within the community. I want to provide that extra support to the public once discharged from hospital. I am highly experienced in postnatal care of the mother and baby up until 6 weeks of age. All my services will be provided in the privacy and comfort of your own home including Pregnancy Massage.

As a midwife, I can offer postnatal care including:
-One on one midwifery care in the home
-Parenting support
-Feeding advice from birth till 6 weeks
-Breastfeeding advice and support
-Formula Feeding/ Combination Feeding
-Postnatal checks for both mother and baby
-Postnatal feelings and emotions (Postnatal Depression)
-Newborn settling advice
-Referral to continued support in the community from 6 weeks

I also have a certificate in pregnancy massage issued by the Pregnancy Massage Australia Group with which I can offer pregnancy massage from the second trimester and post dates.

Pregnancy Massage Australia (PMA) is the culmination of years of study into massage during the childbearing years with a focus on health, wellbeing and relaxation for the mother-to-be; creating a connection between the mother, baby and the partner. The origins of pregnancy massage show pregnant women receiving massage during their pregnancy labour and beyond. Pregnancy Massage Australia aims to educate therapists to create a supportive environment of touch through massage to connect both the mother and the baby, supporting them through the many physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman�¢??s life which creates significant physiological, structural, and psychological changes.

I am based in Brisbane, QLD and happy to travel to the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast with a travel fee. ...read more
