Hello, I’m Ashleigh, often referred to as Ash!
I am a privately practising Endorsed Midwife, Registered Nurse, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, NDC Practitioner, and Calmbirth Educator.
For over a decade, I have dedicated myself to supporting women and their families during labour and birth at my local hospital in Tamworth.
In addition to my hospital role, I run a private clinic where I provide midwifery care, lactation support, and neuroprotective developmental care in my capacity as a private midwife, IBCLC Lactation Consultant, and NDC Practitioner.
I provide education, support, and guidance to mothers from the prenatal stage all the way through their postpartum journey.
As a mother of six, I entered motherhood at an early age, which left me feeling underprepared and lacking adequate knowledge about labour and birth. This experience often felt like being a passenger rather than a driver in my own birthing experiences, leading to feelings of fear and a lack of control.
I was introduced to the Calmbirth program by a fellow Calmbirth educator who highly recommended its benefits for couples approaching labour and birth. Upon learning more about Calmbirth, I realised how transformative it could have been for my own birthing experiences.
Calmbirth empowers couples to feel informed, in control, and positive as they prepare for labour and birth.
Birth is not merely the arrival of a new baby; it is a profoundly transformative experience that also sees the birth of a couple. Mothers possess an inherent strength that often remains hidden until they give birth, revealing their resilience and power.
I am deeply passionate about educating couples on pregnancy, birth, and beyond, as I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own body and your baby.
Allow me to equip you with the tools necessary for a positive and empowering birthing experience while also establishing a strong foundation for confident parenthood.
Remember, with knowledge comes confidence!
