[Mi-dwife noun · English]
Midwife
My journey to becoming a midwife started after the birth of my own children.
My journey into midwifery began with deeply transformative experiences, both challenging and uplifting, that reshaped my understanding of childbirth.
After exposure to medical interventions and trauma during my first birth, I was determined to create a different experience for my second. I poured my heart and soul into believing that birth could be beautiful and empowering—that I could do it. My second birth became a my tipping point: I learned how to cope with the sensations, trust my body, and reconnect with my instincts. It was everything I had dreamed of and more.
Fueled by this profound experience, I dove into studying midwifery. However, I quickly realized that the clinical approach to childbirth was often more about management than allowing women to embrace their unique birthing journeys. I was taken back by the strict time constraints and frequent interventions, which felt contrary to the natural and instinctual birth I had experienced and knew was god’s design.
Despite these challenges, I didn’t give up. My desire to support and empower women fueled my determination to pursue the Midwife I truly wanted to be. Around this time, I was blessed with my third birth—a beautiful and swift home birth that reinforced my belief in physiological trust and instinct. That experience filled me with joy and euphoria, and projected my commitment to help women give birth their way.
From this passion and vision, Soul Midwifery was born—my fourth baby, so to speak! As your midwife in Albury Wodonga, I am dedicated to putting women at the absolute center of their pregnancy and birthing experience. My mission is to provide you with compassionate care, education, and support, ensuring that you feel empowered, informed, and safe throughout your journey.
