THIS IS Your birth your way
Your guide through the right of passage of birth and beyond
Since the birth of New Life Midwifery more than 14 years ago, our midwives have dedicated their energy to inspiring women and their families to empower themselves and forge their own paths through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
Welcome to Your Birth Your Way
Bespoke programs by New Life Midwifery combining the sacred experiences of women, the ancient wisdoms of midwives, up-to-date research and complementary holistic practitioners.
Your Birth Your Way is our trademarked, specialised birth preparation education, created by Midwives Alex and Jannie as part of our holistic offerings to our women and their families.
The program draws on a range of experiences with women, midwifery wisdom and various other techniques and modalities that have proven their effectiveness in assisting women to honour themselves as the authoritative knowledge of their own bodies and forge their own path through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
We do this by meeting you where you are at and providing a simple framework you can start navigating resources, offerings and care your way.

What can I expect?
Across the 8-weeks, guided by our highly experienced midwives, we will work through a range of topics to ensure you feel as confident as possible to have a transformative birth experience and an empowering matrescence.
Occasionally, we will be joined by passionate guest speakers who specialise in various areas of women’s health in our local community.
We explore a vast arrange of topics, unpack evidence, share with each other and listen to the birthing journeys of those who have come before you.
There are so many wonderful resources and opportunities available but no resource is more important than learning that you are the expert.
You can have YOUR BIRTH YOUR WAY.
