At home Midwifery Care

As an Endorsed Midwife and IBCLC, I can offer evidence based, holistic care for up to 7 weeks from the day you arrive home from the hospital. This gives you continuity of care with an experienced Midwife whom you get to know. You can have as many visits as fits your needs. Medicare rebates available. 

IBCLC

There are many benefits to breastfeeding for both mother and child, but it’s not always easy to get started. As an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and member of Lactation Consultants Australia and New Zealand (LCANZ), Midwife Catherine can provide you with advanced care and guidance to overcome difficulties with breastfeeding.

Post Partam Care

Post Partam Care is extended care for new mothers immediately following the birth. In years past, new mothers would stay in hospital for 10 or more days after child birth, now they are out the next day. Post Partam Care provides support for both mother and child and helps make the transition to childcare easier for both parents.

How I can help

IBCLC

Perfect for new mother, including positioning and attachment difficulties, milk supply, suckling, fussy or wakeful babies, common concerns, and breastfeeding at work.

Postpartum care

Post Partam Care provides support for both mother and child and helps make the transition to childcare easier for both parents. 

Extended care for new mothers

Midwife care often leads to a higher chance of natural delivery without caesarian. This means a shorter stay in hospital post delivery, and allows for extended at-home care to be performed by the midwife. 

Breast care

Feeding your child can cause issues with mothers breasts, including soreness, itching and nipple trauma. I can help you minimise these problems and care for your breasts while breastfeeding.

Kind Words From New Mums
I am a first time Mum who delivered at SJOG in Subi, and one of the best things I did for my breastfeeding and new Mum journey was find Catherine's services. I had a consult with Catherine before I popped (highly recommend) and she was there, like a super knowledgeable and caring aunty, to listen and offer practical advice and solutions whenever we hit speed bumps along the way... my baby has just turned one and my last call for advice was just last week! One of the most valuable numbers in my phone on this amazing journey of being a Mum. Thanks for all the support and advice Catherine - you are fabulous. No doubt will be in touch if we go Round 2! xx

Catherine is the person you need backing you on your breastfeeding journey She quickly identified a possible tongue tie that my son had, this allowed us to have it corrected early on Her advice and support is so valuable, we wouldn’t be breastfeeding now without her.

Thank you so much Catherine for all your help! You were the only one who helped me identify that my baby had tongue tie and able to resolve the issue. After seeing a couple lactation nurses from hospital and doing a breastfeeding class I was still struggling with breastfeeding. I eventually found catherine online. Nobody else picked up that my girl had tongue tie which made it extremely difficult for her to latch. You have given me more confidence and so much support. Catherine helped with flanges for my breast pump and gave me so many helpful resources. I am forever grateful! Such a knowledgeable woman with such a nice calm approach. Love Jayde and mila xxx

Thanks to Catherine for her support and assistance, always nice having someone take time to listen to your story and ask you about your goals & expectations. I really appreciated her following up after our consult as well as touching base weeks after to see how we were going. I wouldn’t be where I am in my breastfeeding journey today if it weren’t for her.

I commented on a Facebook post Cath had made and she reached out to help me and my baby straight away to have a chat. She then saw us the next day and referred my son off to see someone for tongue tie. He’s since had it repaired and is thriving and gaining weight. Can not recommend enough!

Catherine was amazing she was very quick to respond and not only offered to visit on a Sunday but also took the time to listen to my concerns over the phone and offer some immediate suggestions prior to her visit. Catherine was extremely knowledgeable and provided some outside the box/norm suggestions which saved me from mastitis progressing and enabling me to feed my baby. Highly recommend!
ChantalDecember 2022
Cath is so approachable and saved me at a time when I really needed her help - she was able to turn the situation around really quickly and give me hope again. She made time for me very soon after I asked for it, and took her time to listen to my questions and show me the right answers. In a world where breastfeeding mums can get a lot of wrong or contradictory information from the internet, she is a boon. I’ve been able to contact her when I need and Cath has been a saving grace in my breastfeeding journey that has now become a successful one thus far

Catherine was extremely helpful, knowledge and supportive. She picked up a tongue tie issue with my child that many others did not. She followed up long after the initial appointment assisting with issues in milk supply. I credit her for saving the breast feeding journey to date. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
KateDecember 2022
So professional and prepared. She has got such a good experience that's why she helped us to solve a breastfeeding problem which the hospital didn't realise. I really recommend her!
