The Bloom is Our Midwife’s signature offering of continuity of care for women holding intention to birth at home. Continuity of Midwifery care fosters consistency, familiarity, and ongoing support, allowing trust, understanding and connection to strengthen over time.  Our Midwife upholds women’s right to bodily autonomy, right to informed choice and right to refuse.

While many women come with a clear vision for homebirth, this care also recognises the wild and unpredictable nature of pregnancy and birth.  The focus remains on supporting women through this experience and their transition into motherhood, regardless of how birth unfolds. 

Continuity of Midwifery Care is associated with lower rates of unnecessary interventions and provides better satisfaction and outcomes for mothers and babies.

Yes. It is currently legal in Australian for women to choose to homebirth. Privately practising midwives are required to meet safety and quality guidelines defined by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. However, there is currently no insurance or medicare rebate available for the homebirth component of private midwifery care.   For this reason at Care Contracts are implemented at the commencement of care.  I provide paperwork for you to register your baby with Medicare and for access to Centrelink payments. I also provide the Queensland health Baby record and instructions to register your baby and apply for a birth certificate.

I like to ensure that my energy is abundant and balanced with my output. For this reason I limit my commitment to 1-2 women (occasionally 3) birthing per month. I do have women contacting me even days before they miss their period. I also block out some months for self-love, holidays and professional development. So if you want to ensure availability, check in early or even in your planning phase pre-pregnancy. 

Our Midwife is located in Atherton, currently servicing the Atherton Tablelands, Cairns, Port Douglas and Innisfail areas. Additional travel costs apply if located more than 30 minutes from Atherton.

Investment in Matriarchal Midwifery Care for intended birth at home, starts from $7500. Additional out of pocket costs are further influenced by location.

A Non-refundable booking in fee of $2000 is required at time of confirmation of booking. Payment plans are suggested, and midwifery continuity of care fees are paid in full by 36 weeks.

All packages include on-call and birth fees for the primary and second midwife, the birth pool/liner and medical equipment as well as oxygen hire.

Medicare will pay for your antenatal and postnatal care components when you provide written consent for me to bulk bill these services.

To get started please book a free meet and greet call with me, as this it is important that you feel into your intuition and whether we feel energetically aligned for your sacred journey. Once you have a full body yes to this offering, we can commence care on your journey to homebirth. No GP referral is required.

I have good relationships and contact with Cairns, Atherton, Innisfail and Mareeba Hospital with transparent communication and collaboration if needed at any time along your journey. If transfer to hospital is required during labour (after 37 weeks), I can accompany you, however, once in hospital my role is purely as a support person and clinical care is handed over to hospital staff.

Midwifery skills, suturing equipment, adult resuscitation equipment, IV cannulation, IV fluids and medication for emergency situations.  I also carry oxygen, suction, neonatal resuscitation equipment, neonatal saturation monitor. I am equipped for routine clinical care with infant scales, neonatal screening and new-born examination. A referral can be made to your local hospital should you wish to access the new born healthy hearing screen.

I am a registered endorsed midwife with a Medicare provider number. This allows me to order midwifery relevant medications if needed, as well as any routine pregnancy blood tests or scans you may choose to have.
