Hi, I'm Karley
I've always wanted to care for women and their families from the very beginning of pregnancy right through to postpartum and beyond. I've been a midwife for 15 years, and in 2017 I made the steps towards becoming an Endorsed Midwife. In between that time and now I got married, grew a little family of my own, and started a small business as a privately practicing midwife.
Supporting women's choice, empowering, and inspiring women to achieve their pregnancy, birth and postpartum goals is truly the dream gig for me.
I provide non-judgemental, honest, evidence-based care and support your choices on birth and parenting at all times.
I am fortunate enough to combine my years of clinical experience with my advanced midwifery knowledge and intuition, along with my personal experience of motherhood and matresence.
I strongly believe that all women, regardless of age, race, size and perceived risk, deserve continuity of midwifery care. Research shows that outcomes are far better for both mother and baby when care is with the same midwife, so I am very proud that I am able to provide this gold standard of care to my clients and their families.
Services
Hyperemesis Care
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a debilitating and isolating condition that many women unfortunately suffer from in silence, with little to no help.
I offer in-home I.V. therapy and medication administration, along with education around HG. Ongoing scripts can be provided, and a thorough assessment of your current management plan for your HG will be undertaken.
Antenatal Care
I provide compassionate in-home antenatal care ensuring women receive the support and guidance they need during this transformative time.
We explore all areas of pregnancy wellbeing, emotional and psychological care, labour and birth expectations, birth mapping and postpartum preparation.
Home Birth
With expert care, holistic support, and a deep respect for your birthing journey, I empower families to welcome their baby in a safe, peaceful and intimate environment.
Your care during your home birth is well balanced between respecting and protecting your birthing space, whilst also ensuring the wellbeing of you and your baby.
Postnatal Care
Your care will flow into your postpartum, as I provide gentle , comprehensive support in the crucial 7 weeks after your birth. Appointments are slow and relaxed with an emphasis on breastfeeding, sleep and matrescence.
Couples feel ready and empowered to take on the first year of parenthood at the end of our time together.
