Home Birth
The antenatal home birth and post natal package
I offer family centered continuity of care in your own home. Appointments start in the first trimester and are usually every 4-6 weeks until 32 weeks. From there we catch up fortnightly until 37 weeks, appointments then become weekly until birth. During this time I will provide education and information to you and your support team, we will discuss strategies for labour, your personal preferences and safe options for you and your baby.
I will be on call for your birth from 37 weeks. When your labour begins I will provide full labour care at home as long as it is safe to do so. If we decide to transfer to a hospital setting I will come with you as your support person.
After the baby is born I will visit you everyday for the first five days and then at least once a week for the next four weeks (more if needed).
I am registered as a Medicare Eligible Midwife with AHPRA which means you can claim some of the costs from Medicare. This also means that I am able to order any pregnancy related blood tests and ultrasounds that you decide to have carried out.
Check with your Private Health fund to see if they also cover some of the costs.
POSTNATAL PACKAGES
postnatal NURTURING from a Clinical midwife
Once your baby is born the work begins! Often it is at this vital point that the midwifery care and support from your maternity service will stop.
If you feel that you and your baby would benefit from continued midwifery support with breastfeeding, settling and mother-crafting then please consider a Babymoon postnatal package. If you see your GP for a referral this service is mainly covered by medicare.
Postnatal home visits are available from birth till your baby is six weeks old if required.
PREGNANCY REFLEXOLOGY
From the early stages of morning sickness to birth, reflexology can help with the physical, mental and emotional changes that you may experience.Maternity Reflexology is a safe and practical therapy for pregnant women and it is also one of the most relaxing therapies you can choose to have during pregnancy. It is excellent in maintaining a balance during the rapidly changing balance of pregnancy.Reflexology sessions increase relaxation, energize and balance, aiding a healthier pregnancy creating the best conditions possible for your baby to grow and develop.During pregnancy a reflexology session can assist with:

How many reflexology sessions will I need?

Labour PrimingLabour priming is a method by which specific reflex points are strongly stimulated with the intention of creating a boost of energy to encourage the onset of labour contractions. Many women, who are post-term and have no other medical issues, respond well. One or two treatments may be required.Post Natal CarePost natal reflexology is an excellent way to help the mother get back on her feet. Once your baby is born, your body still has many changes to deal with.Post natal reflexology may help with:

What We Do
Babymoon Blessingways
A Baby Blessingway is the spiritual alternative to a Baby shower. Women gather together to empower and support one another as they step into the role of bearing and raising children. A Blessingway creates space to come together as a support circle for the expecting mother, and bless the way ahead for her. It is a web woven of the most trusted and cherished women in her life. Those who will provide a loving place where she can explore the challenges and joys that lie before her as she approaches her journey into motherhood.
As your Blessingway facilitator I will create an experience that focus's on making the mother to be feel like a queen! Together we will honour her and the journey from maiden to mother.
about me
Sarah Nicholls Clinical Midwife and Master of Philosophy
I completed my midwifery degree at the University of Brighton in the UK in 2007 and moved to Perth WA in 2009. I have practiced my craft in all models of maternity care including Hospitals and Birth centers. I have attended over a hundred home births as a midwife and I am recognized as an expert in water birth. The findings from my widely acclaimed water birth research have been published and presented internationally. I have trained as a Hypnobirthing practitioner and I am a qualified clinical reflexologist. I have had three babies of my own. Their wings have dried and they have flown the nest.
My personal philosophy is to support normal birth where possible, offer women information so they can make good choices, to promote self-care relaxation and connection for women and couples in this pivotal period of their life.
