I am an Endorsed Midwife with a heart for supporting women to embrace their inner power and be at the centre of their journey through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I believe that all women deserve compassionate and respectful care that is holistic and wrapped around them.

I strive to support women to be empowered to make informed choices.

I am passionate about physiological birth, breastfeeding, neurodevelopmental newborn care, and encouraging you to follow your intuition and work with your body’s perfectly designed physiology. 

Based out of Sydney’s Inner West, I offer antenatal and postnatal care, with tailored care packages, including shared care options with your GP, local hospital, or private obstetrician. I also offer private education classes for labour, birth, breastfeeding and preparing for parenthood. My professional experience spans continuity-of-care models, and supporting women across the entire spectrum of birth from physiological homebirths to navigating medical intervention and still achieving a positive birth (including through the Westmead Hospital public homebirth program). Having held several public hospital leadership roles, I have a deep understanding of how you can get the best experience out of a hospital birth too. 

As a proud midwife, wife, and mother (to one human and one greyhound), I understand the transformative nature of birth and the transition into motherhood. In my own mothering journey, I had a magical labour at home, which resulted in an unexpected hospital transfer. Despite a birth that didn't go as I hoped, my labour, birth, and postnatal journey remain the most powerful experiences of my life, by which I found my inner strength and wisdom. I am committed to seeing that every woman and family in my care are satisfied, empowered and ready to embrace their unique journey. 

Love, Midwife Lena xo
