Natural Birth midwife

Hi, I'm Amy!

Through my experience as a midwife for over 10 years, I recognised that the birth experience can be extremely daunting! I established Natural Birth Co to help women prepare for a calm natural birth in a hospital setting. As a registered midwife, yoga & pilates instructor, I blend my technical skills and yogi knowledge to empower women to feel confident about giving birth the way nature intended!

 

During my experience as a registered midwife on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve had the privilege of assisting countless pregnancies and have witnessed the most incredible miracles afforded by modern medicine and intervention.

Whilst I advocate for modern medical intervention in abnormal or emergency situations, I do believe there is an increasing level of unnecessary medical intervention during pregnancy and birth, that can be avoided through alternative, non-invasive means.

Through my pregnancy-specific workshops, yoga, and pilates, I have helped hundreds of expecting parents attain:

  • Mental preparation to understand the physiology of birth, eliminating fears and lack of confidence in their bodies

  • Mental strength & coping techniques to increase resilience towards contractions and reduce exhaustion in labour.

  • Physical preparation allowing birth to flow naturally in the most progressive and easeful way possible for your individual body.

  • A reposition of transverse &/or breech babies, into optimal positions where they can birth naturally, avoiding an unnecessary C-section.
