Hi, I’m Tara. I am a registered midwife for the last 5 years and a proud mumma of a beautiful girl. I am passionate about empowered and informed childbirth and my goal for you is to ensure that you feel confident and have the tools you need to make informed decisions about your birth journey. I offer to bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of childbirth and am currently undertaking studies in lactation consultancy and pharmacology to ensure that you receive the most current and comprehensive care. I offer a mother’s perspective as well as a professional one as I focus on both the physical and emotional aspects of childbirth, empowering you with practical skills and confidence to make informed and educated decisions when it comes to maternity care.
So, join me and others like you to join a community of expecting parents and share your experiences in a nurturing, supportive setting.
