Midwifery is to be ‘with women’. To be with women in their multifaceted journey through one of life’s most changing important experiences.
As the World Health Organisation states, midwives are the most appropriate health care provider for women and normal birth. Forming relationships with women and their families and providing one to one midwifery care enables trust, communication, respect, education, support and care. I believe in wellness in our minds, bodies, homes and in our communities and when women are involved and responsible for their pregnancies, births and their parenting there is a significant sense of self worth, pride, accomplishment and well being that is attached. This in turn affects her relationships within her home, with family and friends having a ripple effect. As a midwife it is my role to guide not rule, inform not decide, support not do, be with not rescue a women in her transformation from woman to mother. I have been nursing & midwifery field since 1999 and provide care for women & their families in all models of care from the Public, Private to Public Midwifery Group Practice , Public Funded Homebirth & now currently providing Homebirth with Visiting Rights at Westmead collaborating with Dr Martin. Janine provides Midwifery care to families in Sydney's beaches, across Sydney encourages physiological birth where women and families are placed at the centre of their care. Care is commenced usually in the first trimester and women are able to attend regular visits in one of my clinics or in their home. I have Medicare Eligibility so all visits are rebatable. Janine is now working collaboratively with The BirthTime Midwives Collective and is Calmbirth practitioner and has clinics in Bilgola Plateau and BirthTime Village.
