Our Philosophy
Every woman's journey into motherhood is unique, shaped by her own experiences, hopes, challenges, and emotions.
I believe women deserve to feel supported, heard, and understood throughout this transition. Not just through the practical aspects of pregnancy and birth, but through the personal and often complex experience of becoming a mother.
My approach is centred around walking alongside you with compassion and respect, creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences, feel empowered in your choices, and navigate pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood in a way that feels right for you.
Because while every journey is different, no woman should feel like she has to walk it alone.
What is Midwifery-Informed Perinatal Support?
My approach brings together clinical midwifery knowledge with naturopathic principles, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and individualised perinatal education. I support women through preconception, pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum, and the harder experiences that don't get enough attention: pregnancy loss, birth trauma, IVF and perinatal anxiety.
I believe that women deserve care that goes beyond the appointment. Care that makes space for questions, grief and for the moments that need to be processed properly. That's what I'm here for.

Emma’s knowledge and nurturing manner was beyond helpful throughout my recent pregnancy. Being my third pregnancy, I thought I would feel confident and in control but I felt quite the opposite.
She guided me with appropriate supplement/herb knowledge and reassured me during a time I felt quite anxious. When issues arose, she gave me the strength and education to make the best decision for me, without second guessing myself.
Every pregnancy is different and as Emma assured me, everything I was feeling was normal. I was very fortunate to have her expertise not only throughout my pregnancy but once my baby was born.
Her support with breastfeeding my baby and recovering from birth was priceless. I only wish I had her knowledge and care with all of my pregnancies.

Emma is a gifted practitioner who combines knowledge, experience and intuition to support and empower women through one of the most important times in their life.
The pre-natal, pregnancy and postpartum journey can be filled with fear, nervous anticipation and confusion and with so much conflicting information being available, it's often difficult to make sense of it all.
Working with Emma is like having someone in your corner. She provides the perfect blend of evidence-based advice with traditional wisdom passed on from generation to generation.
She is incredible at putting you at ease and empowering you to advocate for what is best for you and your baby.

After a traumatic emergency C-section with my first baby and a subsequent C-section with my second, going into my third and final pregnancy I was feeling very anxious. That’s when I made the best decision for myself and my baby and enlisted the services of Emma.
Emma put me at ease from our very first meeting and with her extensive knowledge of birthing, I finally felt supported and confident. Emma helped me achieve a birth I never thought I would be able to have. It was incredibly empowering.
Given her background in naturopathy she was able to support my body internally, prepare it for birth, and help heal and support me in the postpartum period using herbs and supplements. With Emma, I truly felt listened to, supported, and cared for. She is an amazing midwife and naturopath and I recommend her to everyone.
