Northern Beaches Midwifery

Northern Beaches Midwifery offers the gold standard “Continuity of Care”. As a mother, Registered Nurse, Endorsed Midwife & Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I offer the guidance and support you need in the postnatal period. Here’s how I can assist you:

Personalised Support Every mother-baby duo is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Which ever way you choose to feed your baby, breastfeeding, mixed feeding or formula, if this is your first time or have prior experience, I’m here to help you overcome any challenges.

Comprehensive Knowledge I stay current with the latest research and best practices in lactation and responsive parenting. From latching techniques to concerns about milk supply, settling baby and the normal newborn behaviour can be very confusing. I’m ready to answer your questions and provide evidence-based solutions to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.

Emotional Support I understand that a newborn baby can be an emotional journey. Alongside practical assistance, I create a caring and nurturing environment where you can freely discuss your concerns. I’m here to listen and encourage you throughout the process.

Flexible Appointments I offer both in-person visits and online virtual consultations to suit your preferences. I can schedule appointments at times that work best for you, whether you’re at home or on the go.

6-Week Postnatal Care Packages After the birth of your baby and following your hospital discharge, I will visit you at home to provide support and guidance, ensuring a successful confident start to your parenting/breastfeeding journey. Research shows that women who receive support during this time tend to breastfeed for longer. Individualised postnatal packages attract a Medicare rebate if you are within the 6-week postnatal period.

Post-Consultation Care My commitment to your journey doesn’t end with one session. If you choose, I offer ongoing support and follow-ups to help you thrive as you continue your breastfeeding experience.

Don’t let breastfeeding and challenges hold you back. Let me support you in this incredible bonding experience with your little one. Contact me today to book your personalised consultation and discover the keys to successful breastfeeding, and confident parenting

Together, we’ll make your journey fulfilling for both you and your baby! Every mother deserves the best start.

It isher for a shoot. the timing of Martine’s shots that captures the candid and natural beauty of family interaction, that we love so much. We treasure all our photos for this very reason. Martine has such a creative eye, and her passion for what she does really shows in her work. Feeling so lucky to have found a photographer that understands exactly what we are after every time we book her for a shoot. Thank you Martine. You are amazing!”

MATERNITY REVIEW * * * * * “We had such a fantastic maternity shoot with Martine. I always have reservations about getting photos done as my husband and I are always a little awkward in front of the camera but Martine put us at ease and offered some guidance while also giving lots of space for us to be ourselves. I am in love with all of the images!”

MOTHERHOOD MINI REVIEW * * * * * “An exceptionally professional and exhilarating experience. I am overjoyed to have found Martine and am so glad I invited her into our home. I fell in love with her work instantly but didn’t think my own shots would compare to her other work- but boy was I wrong! Not only do I feel empowered and so in love with what my body has created and achieved, but I am so grateful that she has captured such a milestone in our lives in a raw and natural way. The best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”
