Welcome — I’m Midwife Chelsea!

I am a privately practising Endorsed Midwife based in the Blue Mountains of NSW, offering care to families across the Mountains and Greater Sydney region.

I believe that the journey to parenthood is a sacred rite of passage. My role is to walk beside you as a grounded, heart-led companion throughout this transformational season — from preconception, through pregnancy and birth, and into the tender early days of parenting. My care blends evidence-based practice with intuitive knowing. My philosophy is grounded in partnership: you lead, and I provide guidance, advocacy, and support. I keep my caseload intentionally small so that your care remains focused, relational, and generous.

After years of working within hospitals, I became deeply acquainted with the results of fragmented and impersonal maternity care. While those years in “the system” strengthened my clinical skills, they also revealed the limitations of system-based care — and ignited my passion to practise privately, where I can offer the time, presence, and reverence that families truly deserve.

As a homebirth mama of two, I’ve experienced first-hand the magic of birthing outside the system and the profound support of private midwifery care. That experience, coupled with my professional journey, fuels my commitment to provide care that is both clinically sound and soulfully grounded.

my commitment

I am dedicated to practising with inclusivity, transparency, and integrity. I welcome and honour diversity, providing safe and affirming care for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and CALD families.

It is a profound privilege to walk with you through this season of becoming — to witness your strength, your transformation, and the unfolding of your family’s story.
