Gold Coast Midwifery & Lactation

12/10/2026

Thank you to all of those who have continuously supported private midwifery care and in home support for themselves and their babies 🙏

The thank you card in the photo is from a beautiful mama whose baby is now over 6 weeks so our weekly postnatal visits are done. Always sad to say goodbye at the end of the journey. However it remains a privilege to support someone’s journey in this way 🥹🫶

I’m going to be posting some more about what you can expect during my postnatal visits so stay tuned

On the road doing postnatal visits this week calls for a stop at my favourite cafe

Thank you to the team at Vector Coffee - Southport. The best chilli scramble and iced matcha 🍵

I continue to welcome new clients each week. I love learning their stories along with how I can support them. Navigating the first 6 weeks of newborn life has its challenges. It’s also so rewarding.

If you or anyone you know would benefit from in home postnatal care I would love to hear from you. Remember it’s bulk billed, appointments are long and at your pace.

Hello

It’s me!

Welcome to all my new followers

Anywho …….. some mid year updates

1. Bulk billing - there’s been a government level change around consent for bulk billing claims. Basically now I need to have your consent to bulk bill you at EVERY appointment. Not just the one off consent that’s gained during our first appointment.

Thankfully the software I use has already implemented this change so I can send you a SMS to consent to the bulk bill. It came into effect today. So everyone I see this week - thank you in advance for being my testing crew on this 😜

2. Antenatal education - I’ll post the details of this separately but it’s coming

I’ll be alternating the days/times so there’s a class available for everyone - Full day weekend blocks then shorter evening blocks.

Location - Club Helensvale 🫶💚

Any questions or requests please reach out

New stationary feels (and smells) 😍

If anyone would like some business cards, posters, notepads and pens in their clinic/studio/wellness hub let me know and I’ll bring some to you.

Fridge magnets should be next right? 🧲 😅
