Amber

Midwife, Educator, Lactation Consultant & Director of Body, Birth & Baby

Hi I'm Amber... Welcome to Body, Birth & Baby!!

I have been a midwife for 11 years now and had spent the majority of my career working in a caseload program at a large tertiary hospital in Melbourne. During my years working in continuity of care where I was the primary midwife for women in pregnancy, labour and birth and postnatal care, including home visiting, I saw how educating and empowering women in pregnancy made such a positive impact to their birthing and new motherhood experience.

This is why I started Body, Birth & Baby! I saw the positive impact good quality education about birth, breastfeeding and postpartum had on women and I wanted to provide MORE women with this knowledge, because every woman deserves to feel empowered during her birth and postpartum journey.

I’m extremely passionate about educating women about preparing for labour and birth, reducing any fear of birth and educating women in pregnancy to prepare for Breastfeeding and The Fourth Trimester. I also love visiting new parents at home with their baby- helping them with feeding, settling, answering questions and helping build their confidence, which is why I became a Lactation Consultant in 2020. I am a strong believer in knowledge is power and empowering women to make informed choices that align with them. 

Personally, I am passionate about health and wellness, I love yoga and reformer pilates, and going for family beach walks. I love cooking with local peninsula produce and I’m always listening to wellness podcasts and audio books, which are usually about nutrition, personal development and anything pregnancy/ birth/ postpartum.

I am also a Mum to a one year old little girl, Winter, and I have a fur baby, a 2 year old golden retriever, Huxley.

I look forward to being on your special journey with you.
