The journey to motherhood is a unique and transformative experience, but for some, it can come with unexpected challenges and emotional distress. Birth trauma is a real and often overlooked aspect of childbirth, affecting many mothers and families. At Jess The Midwife, we are here to offer support, healing, and a path to recovery.

I am so excited to be the first person in Australia with this qualification and I am looking forward to helping you on this journey.
