Birth Stories
Some of the diverse and varied births from treasured families who have shared their special journey with me in the past ( when i was a practising midwife x).
I think its a good idea you know who the person is that you are trusting to take you through birth classes- don't you? xx
This being the first pregnancy with a midwife - it was the greatest pregnancy and birth out of all six.
From my first meeting with
Even though I have been through it before, this was the first time ever that I had been given the chance to decide my maternity care - it was great. I was unaware how many options were available to me. I wish I had had her for my previous pregnancies.
This birth, my homebirth, was the best ever.

We were incredibly fortunate to have lee as our midwife for the birth of our son.
She did her utmost to respect our birth plan and when we transferred to the hospital for complications she transferred with us and remained well into the morning to deliver our baby safely. It was a challenging birth, but lees calm and gentle manner and encouragement made it easier.
We were very impressed by her dedication to her clients and her professionalism. If we have another child, we'd consider ourselves incredibly lucky to work with lee.

Very happy with the care provided by my midwife. Very positive birthing experience in spite of being a 'high' risk pregnancy. Looking forward to next time! A big thank you.
My partner and I were lucky enough to have Lee as our midwife.
We had previously met Lee at a birthing class that we took and we felt an instant connection with her as she was on the same page as us.
The information we received from her was so reassuring and put us completely at ease before the birth. The delight we felt when we saw Lee was indescribable.
From the moment we were in Lee's care I felt safe and she gave me the strength to get through my labour. I honestly felt like I couldn't have done it without her, she knew the perfect things to say at the perfect time.
Being our first birth we didn't know at all what to expect, and Lee was incredible at making it a very beautiful experience. She really encouraged my partner and myself to take in the experience and have a lot of private time together whilst going through the labour to realise the true power of a mother's body.
I can't wait to have Lee present at my next birth, it was a true pleasure having her as my midwife and I would recommend her to every mother I know.
Thank you for sharing with us the most beautiful experience and the most important day of our lives- we will never forget you.

Dear Lee, what an angel and a rock you have been for Michael and I during the most precious and precarious of times.

We hope your new adventure in Dunsborough fills your heart and creates more space for moments like these.
Dear Lee, we searched and searched for a gift for you to say thank you but we came up with nothing material to really show you how thankful we are for the huge role you played bringing our beautiful healthy baby Freya into the world.
Words can't express how amazing the birth of our beautiful baby girl was and the day was made even more amazing because of you. We wanted to remind you how 'awesome' you are.

You gave such amazing support leading up to the birth, during and for being thereafter.
You are one of the most caring, genuine people I have had the pleasure of getting to know.
Lee answered anything and everything we threw at her, and she gave complete answers. She involved us in the planning of our care and went above and beyond (even a shoulder to cry on). Lee is an amazing midwife, so dedicated and caring. She was a hugely important part in my beautiful birth, pregnancy, and ongoing care- I will miss her greatly.
Lee went the extra mile during labour and delivery and provided the extra care I needed afterwards. She helped me feel very safe and in control. It was a very special and memorable time for our family.
Once again, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for' Kayla', Poss and I.

Words cannot express how thankful we are for all the kindness, and support you have given us. We know part of it is your job but the other part is just your loving kindness and compassion and your wish to help others to bring their little souls into the world with gentleness and love.
We could not have asked for a better for a better start for our baby, that he was surrounded by peace and joy and that fills my heart with light.
Thank you for helping our family to grow. You have no idea how much you helped us. You were like an anchor throughout for rowan, so that he was able to be a rock for Mala. You were so gentle and patient with me, you really are a beautiful soul and we are so grateful.
I had the most wonderful birth because of Lee. The service I received from my midwife throughout pregnancy, labour and post natally was lovely. She provided me with all the support and information I needed.
I was totally happy, I feel very lucky to have had the birth experience I did at home with my midwife and family. It was handled by Lee with such support and sensitivity, I think she is a wonderful midwife, she has a natural, calming touch. My family think she is great!
I feel blessed to have had Lee as my midwife. My care was exceptional and I felt, along with my partner, fully supported 100% of the time and 100% involvement from Lee with regard to planning my care. Lee always respected my decisions and our values and allowed my partner and I time to discuss any decisions we had to make. This is a very important to me and Lee made our experience a very lovely one.
