Hello! I’m Hannah. I am a Midwife, Child and Family Health Nurse, Calmbirth Educator, and get to be Mum to four beautiful and busy young girls. Over the past 12 years I have worked with women through all stages of their pregnancy, birth and motherhood journey, and am passionate about supporting and nurturing families through these momentous stages of life. I have witnessed first-hand the difference knowledge can bring – confidence, a calm state of being, and freedom instead of fear. This is why I love Calmbirth. An opportunity for couples to dive deep into understanding the incredible ability of the female body to carry and birth, learn tools to work with and not against this process, and anticipate birth with joyful expectation instead of fear and trepidation
My Name is…Hannah.
I work at…Coffs Harbour Health Campus.
My life in five words…Fun, unpredictable, loud, adventurous, family.
The best thing about where I live is…the beach and beautiful places to explore!
What I do to relax when I’m not working…take the kids to the beach, read, explore local op shops.
I can’t live without…a great morning coffee & my legendary hubby.
The person or traits I most admire is…my Mum – always kind, always has time for people, always up for an adventure.
What I love most about being a Calmbirth Educator…the beautiful couples I get to work with and seeing them grow in their knowledge and confidence around their upcoming birth
The 3 essential things you need to take with you into labour are…favourite drink bottle, comfy clothes and snacks for afterwards.
My most memorable moment as Calmbirth® educator…at the end of a session with one of my beautiful couples, we were chatting about how they were feeling about their upcoming birth. They looked at each other and said simply, “We feel like we are so ready, and just not afraid anymore!” I was so excited for them, and just felt like my job was done!
A favourite quote…“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER, of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” (Bible).
If you had to describe how seeing a baby being born makes you feel…I’m just in awe every time. It never gets old – a new life coming into the world is such a beautiful miracle and I pinch myself that I get to be there to witness it!
"Hands Off The Breech" by Karen McClay I've been inspired to share my breech vaginal birth story after seeing pictures of an amazing breech vaginal birth on your Calmbirth Instagram story.
