Melanie has been a private midwife since 2008, dedicated to providing homebirth services throughout her entire career. She personally experienced the benefits of homebirth with her own two children.

When you hire Melanie, you have a dedicated midwife for your entire journey—pregnancy, birth, and six weeks postpartum. She offers comprehensive care at your home and her home office, including writing referrals for blood tests and ultrasounds as needed. As a Medicare-eligible midwife, Melanie ensures you receive a portion of the fee rebated from Medicare.

Melanie collaborates with a trusted team of midwives, ensuring every woman has a second known midwife for added support.

Melanie is currently not taking on any further clients for 2024/2025. We will update you once her schedule reopens. Melanie serves the Blue Mountains region (NSW). It is recommended to reach out to Melanie as soon as you know you are pregnant. The best way to contact her is via email at [email protected]

When emailing, please include your location and approximate due date to help Melanie determine her availability.

• A dedicated second midwife, a birth pool, access to a lending library, and all your clinical care needs.
• One-hour antenatal/pregnancy care appointments.
• Birth care in your home, with Melanie as your midwife and the support of a second midwife, or support in a hospital setting.
