Endorsed Private Practicing Midwife

Midwifery has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I witnessed its quiet power through my mum’s work as a continuity midwife for nearly 20 years — the deep trust, enduring relationships, and steady presence she offered women through pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks of motherhood. Those experiences gently shaped my love for midwifery and the kind of midwife I hoped to become.
I trained and worked in New Zealand, where continuity of midwifery care is the foundation of our practice and the gold standard of midwifery care. Working in this model taught me how transformative it is when women are truly known by their midwife—when care is consistent, relational, holistic and centred on partnership.
Moving to Australia, I was saddened to see that this approach is not the standard, and I felt a deep pull to bring those values with me into my own private midwifery practice.
Since settling in Hobart in 2024 and becoming a mother to my daughter Daisy in 2025, my understanding of connection has only deepened. Navigating early motherhood without nearby friends or family showed me how vital community is—how much we all need support, understanding, and the feeling of not being alone.
This business "Daisy Chain" was born from that truth. I want to offer women not only continuity of care, but also a place of connection: a space where relationships can grow, where experiences are shared, and where mothers feel held through one of life’s most powerful transitions.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: women and families thrive when they are supported, seen, and surrounded by genuine care. I’m here to walk alongside you—consistently and compassionately—as you step into your own story of birth and motherhood.
