Kinda Chic to embody my role as a midwife…

The kind of midwife (or birth worker) we become is shaped by our values, our dedication to expanding our knowledge and commitment to carrying wisdom forward.

Non of us ever truly arrive as a midwife, we’re constantly becoming.

There comes a point where inspiration isn’t enough.

Where appreciating the work...

Watching from the sidelines...

Or wishing things were different...

It’s time to take real action.

As birth intervention continues to rise and more women and babies live with the effects, it’s easy to feel powerless against systems that seem too big to change.
But real change has never started with systems.
It has always started with people.

With birth workers who choose to keep learning.
Who expand what they know.
Who expand the way they care.

Because every woman you tend, every family you support, every birth you walk alongside becomes part of that ripple.

That’s how change begins.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to deepen your skills, reconnect with traditional ways of tending, and learn how to thoughtfully integrate them into modern birth work...

This is your invitation.

Today is the final day to join The Art of Tending.

Come and create change with me.

The way we care for women changes when the way we see women changes.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing some of the perspectives that have shaped my work over the last thirteen years.
Not because they’re new ideas, but because they’ve profoundly changed the way I practise and, in turn, what I’m able to offer the women in my care.

I’ve come to see that the future of birth work lies in consciously weaving traditional wisdom into the realities of caring for women today.

With discernment.

With intention.

And always in response to the woman in front of us.
That’s the vision behind The Art of Tending.

Over two live masterclasses, we’ll explore the principles that have been the foundation of care for women across generations and cultures, and how they can be thoughtfully integrated into the realities of supporting women today.

My intention is that you’ll leave with a broader repertoire of ways to support women, recognising new opportunities for preparation, birth and postpartum recovery, and knowing how to thoughtfully integrate traditional wisdom into modern care.

Expanding what you’re able to offer the women you support.

If these conversations have resonated with you, I’d love to welcome you.

The skills we hold shape the options available to women.
Every day, we influence the environment in which women experience pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

The questions we ask.

The way we observe.

The knowledge we hold.

The opportunities we recognise.

The support we know how to offer.

All of it shapes what becomes possible for the women in our care.

That’s why I believe our work extends far beyond responding to birth as it unfolds.

It’s about intentionally creating the conditions that best support women before birth, and continuing to tend to them long afterwards.

As birth workers, we have the opportunity to continually expand what we’re able to offer women.

Not by collecting knowledge for knowledge’s sake, but by seeking the understanding that allows us to thoughtfully integrate it into the realities of caring for women today.

That’s the vision behind The Art of Tending💗

A place to begin exploring the principles that have been the foundation of care for women across generations and cultures, and how they can be thoughtfully integrated into the realities of supporting women today.

If this vision for birth work resonates with you, I’d love to welcome you.

Forget the basic hospital bag lists; phone charger, earplugs, toiletries, adult nappy 🫠

Ever wondered what a holistic midwife would recommend to pack to start supporting your comfort and healing straight after birth…

Save this before you pack your hospital birth bag.

As a midwife bridging clinical and traditional practice, this is what I recommend every woman brings to support her recovery from the very first hours after birth.

You don’t have to birth at home to heal holistically.

If anything, traditional healing supports are even more important when intervention has been part of your birth.

Whether you planned a home birth or a hospital birth, the first hours and days matter deeply for your recovery.

These are simple, easy to find items that mean you can begin supporting your postpartum healing, nervous system, milk supply and womb recovery straight after birth — wherever you birth.

The early days are not just survival.
They are the foundation of long term health.

What is one thing you wish you had packed for your postpartum hospital stay?

Rooted in Remembering

Some of the most valuable skills in birth work have been held by women for centuries.

They are the practices that have been carried by midwives, birth keepers and women across generations. Skills that help us meet the many variations of birth with trust, connection and grounded support.

On 29th July, I’ll be gathering at Ground Space in Fitzroy, Melbourne, for a full day of learning and practice.

Together we’ll explore:

• Supporting optimal fetal positioning throughout pregnancy and labour
• The art of the rebozo as a tool for comfort, positioning and support
• Traditional belly binding techniques and their support for pregnancy

For over a decade I’ve been learning these skills through clinical midwifery, home birth practice, and direct teachings from traditional midwives around the world.

I’ve now had the privilege of sharing them with over 1000 midwives, doulas and birth workers across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Guatemala.

Whether you are a midwife, doula, student midwife, birth keeper, bodyworker, or a woman wanting to deepen your understanding of birth, this day is an invitation to reconnect with practical skills that can profoundly shape the way we support women.

If you’re travelling to Melbourne for The great birth rebellion podcast convergence if rebellious midwives, this is a unique opportunity to arrive a little earlier and join me for a day of hands-on learning before the conference begins.

10:00am – 4:30pm

Every two years private practice midwives are required to present a review of their practice.

It always offers a time for reflection, and for me it has had me reflecting deeply on my journey as a midwife, especially these past 6 years attending homebirths in Australia.

We’re required to collect our statistics, but here I don’t see numbers. These are very real and impactful life experiences of women, babies and families I’ve journeyed with.

This reflects years of investment into relearning the traditional ways of midwifery, not because they are a nice little add on, but because I genuinely believe they are integral to preserving physiological birth.

The reality is that physiological birth is becoming something that some midwives rarely even witness.
And how do you learn to sit beside birth with discernment if you don’t have trust not only in what is unfolding, but in the immense capacity of women and the multitude of ways birth can unfold?

This is my life’s work and passion.

The reason I have dedicated my life to travelling the world, learning traditional practices, integrating them into my practice and teaching them to other birth workers.

It isn’t about statistics, but to share that this way of caring genuinely makes a difference.

Traditional midwifery has sustained life for generations, and I believe we are at an important point in history where we need to seriously slow down the medicalisation of birth, recognise the potential harms it can cause, and learn how to integrate both traditional wisdom and modern medicine with reverence, discernment, and the woman at the centre of it all.

This is bigger than me and my practice, but it starts here, with the very real outcomes I witness with the women I care for.

Because this level of care is an investment, and one that has an invaluable return.

And with the vilification of home birth and traditional midwives not just here in Australia but globally, we need to have more truth and transparency of what’s actually going on and not be influenced but sensationalised news articles.

An extension of your hands
The tools you hold women with matter
It’s not just a piece of fabric
It’s a living lineage
An energetic vibration
One that makes women feel held
By the generations before us who have continued on weaving the threads of women’s wisdom
