Mother with Confidence, Grace, Dignity & Feminine Power in the Care of your own Private Midwife
Sunshine Coast’s Premier Private Postnatal Midwifery Care
Over the years Know Your Midwife has grown into a trusted and heartfelt service for Sunshine Coast families. As founder, my vision has always been grounded in continuity, compassion, evidenced-based care and genuine presence. After 30 years of caring for women across antenatal, labour and birth and postnatal settings, I’m entering a new chapter – one that allows me to focus even more deeply on what families need and deserve – and can afford- after birth when the early weeks are sacred – emotional, raw, beautiful, challenging and transformative – a unique blend of postnatal midwifery, nurturing baby care, birth debriefing and trauma release, rest, emotional care and practical help at home.


“Birth changed my life. The birth preparation with Mary worked on healing my heart, my body and my fear. It went deeper and my husband was as much involved as I was. We healed together as a couple, and strengthened as a family. I was able to be the feminine woman that is inside me and birth my baby in the safest environment I could ever envision. My postnatal care was unreal, allowing me to become the mother with intuition, confidence and love. Mary’s support and guidance was amazing for our whole family.
