Exciting News!!

As a family we are relocating to Orange where as well as taking on homebirths I will be working at the fantastic Murundhu Dharaa, an independent birthing centre in Orange. This wonderful birthing centre allows women to access a midwifery continuity of care midwife (the same midwife throughout pregnancy, birthing and postnatal care) and the ability to birth in a stand alone unit with gorgeous, spacious birthing rooms with very roomy baths facilitating water birth.

Come on in and have a look, remember to ask for me and I will give you a tour!!!

Here is the website:

I have loved living in the Blue Mountains for the last 6 years but we feel it is time to move on and we are all very excited by this!!

Expo

05/23/2011 11:15:00

Hello all,

I am back from the Expo now and it was huge!

I really enjoyed hanging out in the Pregnancy Lounge and chatting about birth stories, pregnancy, breastfeeding and more with women, men, grandparents and children.

I got to let lots of people know about the benefits of having an independent midwife and what the new medicare changes mean.

Thank you to all the people that shared their stories with me, I hope to talk again soon.

I also really enjoyed chatting to the other exhibitors around, the birth afloat team, the happy mums happy bubs dvd team, all the ergo team and of course my fellow counsellors on the ABA stand to name a few!

Here is a pic of the pregnancy lounge

Next weekend it is ABA conference time, woohoo!!

Biggest thanks goes to my family, my husband kept the fort and was wonderful at it xx

Aromatherapy products now available

02/26/2011 16:25:00

Hello there,

Very Exciting news!!! My new Aromatherapy range is now available. There is the beautiful birthing spray, the massage blend for labour and a pregnancy massage blend. Have a look at the Aromatherapy page. If you are a client you get 10% off the price, contact me directly if you would like some!

I was at a wonderful homebirth thursday/friday and the birthing mist was used lots, it was used to spray onto the cold facewashers which cooled down the woman's face and neck, directly onto the face when asked and onto towels draped over the birthing pool where she rested her head. It is such a gorgeous aroma and a great way to get refreshed.

The massage blend for labour was used aswell, a great help for early labour, especially on the shoulders / back and on the feet.

Thats all for now,

Love Hazel xx
