Private midwifery care, Geelong and the Surfcoast.
Pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Philosophy
The childbearing journey is about more than just having a baby - it is a pivotal time in your personal development. You are the decision-maker, the authority on your own health: physical, emotional, social. The role of your midwife is to facilitate the process. To provide information, be aware of variations, and support your choices.
