Emily

Hi there I’m Emily, a Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse and Calmbirth Educator in southern Tasmania.

***Please note: I alternate months with my friend and colleague Ruth Lees. If my course dates don’t suit you, please take a look at her availability here

Calmbirth first entered my world 13 years ago when I attended a course in preparation for the birth of my first child. Despite already being a midwife, I walked away from that weekend with more knowledge and understanding about the natural physiological process of birth and what my body was capable of than I anticipated. I had a renewed sense of trust in myself and that I had the tools to work with whatever was ahead of us. My husband also left the course feeling far less fearful about birth and more confident in his ability to support me. We went on to use those tools for each of our subsequent births.

Over the years since, I have cared for many labouring women who have also done the course and seen time and time again how it can have a profound and positive impact on their experience. The women who have attended a Calmbirth course seem to have a great sense of preparedness and the ability to manage whatever their birthing experience might bring.

The Calmbirth course provides me with the opportunity to share with you the knowledge and tools that are crucial to helping you and your support person feel calm and confident in labour, birth and on into parenthood.

I teach in the Hobart/Kingston area. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
