Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start working with a midwife?

You can begin care as early as a positive pregnancy test. Starting early means you have consistent support, referrals for tests and scans, and someone to walk beside you from the very beginning.

Do I need a referral from a GP to see you?

No referral is needed. You can book directly with me and get started when it feels right for you.

Can I still see a midwife if I’m planning a hospital birth?

Yes. Many of my clients birth at Busselton or Bunbury hospitals. I offer shared care options to support you alongside your hospital team.

What’s the difference between GP care and private midwifery care?

GPs provide important medical care, often through short appointments with multiple providers. Private midwifery care is built on longer, one-on-one visits with continuity and personalised support. [Learn more about your care options →]

Are your services covered by Medicare?

Yes. Most appointments attract Medicare rebates. I’ll provide you with a simple breakdown of out-of-pocket costs and what’s claimable at your first session.

What if I’m not sure which service I need?

That’s completely okay — many women feel unsure at first. I offer a free introductory call to help you explore your options and find the right care path.

Do you offer support after birth as well?

Yes. I provide in-home and clinic-based postnatal visits to support your recovery, feeding, and emotional wellbeing.

What areas do you service?

I currently offer care to families in Dunsborough, Busselton, Vasse, and surrounding areas. My clinic rooms are located inside Dunsborough Family Chiropractic and Busselton Family Chiropractic.

What’s included in a typical appointment?

Each visit includes time to check on your physical and emotional wellbeing, monitor baby’s growth, offer education, and provide referrals or prescriptions if needed. Appointments are unhurried and tailored to your needs.

Do you offer holistic treatments as well?

Yes. I offer optional add-on therapies such as acuneedling and low level laser therapy to support comfort and healing.
