Bee is currently on maternity leave.
What’s your name and role at MAMA?
My name is Bee, a MAMA midwife working at the Bayside and Kensington clinics. I am an Endorsed Midwife and Registered Nurse.
What inspired you to work at MAMA?
Being a midwife is such a special thing and there is no greater joy than supporting families on their sacred journeys to parenthood. MAMA is a place I can do that to my best ability by providing personalised, thorough and holistic care throughout the continuum of pregnancy.
The MAMA team is so supportive of everyone, especially their midwives and it is so special to pass that love on to families.
What are you passionate about at MAMA?
MAMA is such a comprehensive service that has everything a person could need in their pregnancy journey. I adore the collaborative nature with skilled midwives, allied health and lactation specialists at your fingertips. We are all so passionate about what we do and working in this space has given me so many beautiful opportunities to grow, in turn nurturing our special clients in an encompassing and holistic way.
Continuity is also such a well documented and proven element in satisfying pregnancy outcomes so to finally offer this type of care is an absolute dream come true.
What are your favourite things about your role?
Supporting women and families to have an empowering birth experience is the most fulfilling aspect of my job. I love seeing women grow and nurture themselves throughout their pregnancy, come in to their power and welcome their babies calmly and gently into the world. Witnessing this is a special type of magic that is hard to describe and I'm so lucky I get to be involved in such powerful and intimate moments.
I also love the sounds of labour, quiet laughter, powerful roars and the cries of new baby happily born into their mothers waiting arms.
Where would we find you outside of MAMA?
I love to spend my time outside, at the beach or snow, camping or exploring new parts of the world with my 10/10 hubby. I'm otherwise a big fan of my cosy home with two kitties, going out for a coffee or walk with friends or keeping fit at Pilates.
