Abby is an endorsed midwife and childbirth educator. She has been attending births for 7 years, supporting both homebirths and hospital births and providing continuity of care in Midwifery Group Practice.

Abby is trained by the highly respected Fiona Hallinan in Internal Pelvic Release Work. She adores nurturing others and the increased opportunity this skill has given her to do so. She is dedicated to helping women of all stages of life discover their anatomical potential and deepen their bodily confidence.

Abby comes from a history of dance, marathon running and mental health challenges and has experienced the impact of these on the pelvic space, and the profound difference of somatic softening on her own pelvic health and nervous system. 

Abby is an advocate for reproductive justice and women's rights in birth. She was drawn to Internal Pelvic Release and debriefing work after years of witnessing birth trauma caused by the fragmented maternity system, wanting to be a part of its prevention, and the reframing of society’s view of birth. 

Abby sees prenatal education as a significant protective strategy against trauma, and a catalyst for birthing families to understand their healthcare rights. Having witnessing many labours, Abby knows that babies are hardwired to navigate the pelvis and will always move towards the path of freedom. Abby employs body balancing and touch work as fundamental midwifery skills, and will teach you each technique and its evidence in supporting physiology to unfold.

Abby believes somatic therapy is of parallel significance to talk therapy in healing trauma. She considers touch, and the connection it brings, as an integral part of relationship building as a midwife. Abby is an advocate for relationship-based midwifery and the power of continuity of care in ensuring parenthood begins from a place of feeling emotionally nurtured and somatically nourished.

Abby provides care that ensures you feel seen, respected, and understood. She hopes you integrate this standard as a requisite when presenting for any type of healthcare.
