My name is Mel Scott and I have been a Midwife for over 15 years and Lactation Consultant for over 7 years. I am a mum of 4 and wife to 1!

I am very passionate about my work in the pregnancy, childbirth, postnatal setting and hope that with my skills and knowledge I can help parents to feel more relaxed and calm about their upcoming journey. I have worked across both the public and private hospital settings and most recently I work at a GPO practice in Albany, Western Australia. I have been here for nearly 4 years and really love the educational direction I have taken. I feel it is a privilege to work with parents and their babies in this time of life where things can sometimes be uncertain or unchartered.

I feel that here at Calmbirth we have the advantage of empowering women and their partners to make the decisions they need to for this journey they are going on. My focus will be on a small group of couples so that you have the opportunity to ask any questions you want, to get to know others going through the same thing you are.

Calmbirth is discovering that “with knowledge comes confidence”

I love the fact that Calmbirth is evidenced based, scientifically proven to help reduce medical intervention with more positive outcomes for birth for families, lower rates of perinatal anxiety and postnatal depression. This is what first drew me to becoming an educator. After being a midwife in the hospital setting for so many years, I learnt so many skills, but felt that at times the calmness that could be around births was missing. So enter Calmbirth educators!!

My classes will run over a weekend most months, but I have the flexibility to come to your home and work around you, if that is what works. Venues for the classes may vary, but rest assured they will always be a comfortable setting for you to learn and grow in, while feeling safe and supported.

I look forward to meeting with you and partners and your new babies on this wonderful journey that you are allowing me to be a part of.
