HOLISTIC HOMEBIRTH
IMMERSIVE MIDWIFERY CARE
friends of holistic homebirth
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to cross paths with some truly remarkable practitioners - people who care deeply, who hold space with integrity, and who walk alongside women and families with the same tenderness and trust in the body that I value so much in my own work.
If you're seeking support beyond midwifery - bodywork, lactation, a doula, birthing classes, mental health, or something else entirely - this list is a good place to start.
it's
about
heart
I’ve built relationships with each of these women - shared care, stories, cups of tea, and often, long conversations about birth, womanhood, and the kind of world we want to help shape. These are not just colleagues; they are kindred spirits whose work I trust and admire.
When I refer someone, it’s never just about qualifications - though these practitioners are experienced and highly skilled. It’s about heart. It’s about shared values: listening before fixing, honouring the rhythms of the body, respecting consent and autonomy, and knowing that care is more than a service — it’s a relationship.
Holistic Homebirth lives within The Midwives House - a space I co-founded as both a home for my midwifery practice and a growing collective of practitioners who share a commitment to slow, woman-centred care.
It’s where I see clients, run community events, mentor other midwives, and quietly work toward reshaping what support can look like- not just for birthing families, but for the people who care for them.
The Midwives House has become an extension of my practice and my values: collaborative, grounded, and visionary.

​
Tessa works with an exclusive number of homebirthing families each season.
She is committed to not only providing full spectrum midwifery care, but maintaining her own sense of wellbeing to be completely present for her clients over their childbearing journey. By investing fully in a small number of clients, your needs and preferences are continually at the forefront of Tessa's practice.
​
Tessa is adept at somatic debriefing from previous birth experiences, and strongly believes in honouring womens' rites of passage. She will guide you to connect with your baby during pregnancy and to develop confidence in your decision making processes.
​
Working with Tessa as your homebirth midwife necessitates regular antenatal visits and developing a vision for birth and motherhood that makes you feel powerful. Tessa reveres the early postnatal period and has undertaken further training in breastfeeding (The Thompson Method and the Possums Method) to support the mother-baby dyad.
​
As Tessa creates a sustainable caseload, she continues to be up to date on the current obstetric and midwifery literature and enjoys professional development. A recent favourite has been updating her skills in vaginal breech birth.
​
Tessa engages a small number of trusted midwives to act as a "second' midwife at homebirths, who you will meet in your pregnancy.
​
Once booked with Tessa, she remains on-call for you for the duration of your pregnancy and up to 7 weeks postnatally. This sensitive service is often reassuring to new families.
