About Me
Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Kathleen and I'm an endorsed midwife working in Perth, WA. I graduated from Edith Cowan University in 2014 from the double degree (Nursing and Midwifery). Over the last five years I have worked mainly at the Family Birth Centre at King Edward Memorial Hospital and as a ' back up' midwife for private midwives working in home births.
In October 2018 I gave birth to my son Logan and when returning to work I knew it was the right time to make the much awaited step into private practice. In May 2020 I opened Earthside Midwifery and since then I have gained admitting rights to King Edward Hospital. It is very exciting to be able to offer not only home birth but now hospital birth with your chosen midwife to the women of Perth.
Having experienced this model of care as both a midwife and a birthing woman I truly believe it is the gold standard of midwifery care and that every woman should have access to their own chosen midwife in their chosen birth setting. It is my hope that no matter what your birth journey brings, you will feel respected and empowered throughout and that you will walk into motherhood feeling strong, confident and supported.
