Hi! I’m Stacey, and I’m an Endorsed Midwife, working in private practise. My role as a private midwife is to work with pregnant women and their families, supporting them to make informed decisions throughout their pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum journey. My care is tailored to your specific needs and designed to allow us to form a valuable relationship that is central to safe maternity care. I can care for you from the time you have a positive home pregnancy test until your baby is 7 weeks and 6 days old.

When you book in for care with me, you are investing in both your physical and mental health as well as the health of your baby. Your appointments with me are all held in a comfortable location, either at your home or in my clinic in Traralgon, which runs out of the beautiful rooms at Cocoon Acupuncture. Appointments are all at least a minimum of 1 hour in length, longer if required. There is no rush, which allows you to ask all of the questions you want and get the opportunity to learn along the way! I welcome the involvement of your partner/support person and any older children you may have.

As part of your care, I will discuss with you your options at each step of the way. Whether that’s “standard” bloods or scans, your options for labour and birth, or bigger decisions around induction or mode of birth. As part of this, I will provide you with accurate information explaining the benefits and risks of the options, alternatives available to you, and provide you with time to consider what is right for you. Once you have made an informed choice, it is my role to support you in your decision, whatever that may be! Sometimes this may mean care needs to be transferred to a different setting or to different care providers, however I will still be available to play a support role in the event this does occur and to provide postpartum care and support once your baby arrives.

I offer several different services. These include pregnancy and postpartum care only, and homebirth, so there is something to suit everyone! If you are Medicare Eligible then all pregnancy and postpartum appointments will attract a Medicare Rebate and no referral is needed to access my care.

You can book in with me from your first positive pregnancy test at home! No need to see a GP to confirm your pregnancy or have an ultrasound or blood tests; these are all things I can organise with you directly.
