Kathy Cruickshanks midwife at the womens hospital

I am an experienced Registered Midwife currently working in a large Tertiary Hospital in Melbourne. Working with women and their partners everyday in a busy Birth Centre I noticed how a calm environment could influence the birth of a baby and therefore the woman and her partner’s experience.  As well as being a Calmbirth Practitioner I am a qualified Childbirth Educator. 

I firmly believe that birth can be an empowering experience for women. I will guide you and your partner during the Calmbirth workshops and prepare you both for the big day. As a qualified Midwife my workshop will cover both sides of the equation, Medical and Midwifery. I will guide through the "maze" of  the world of having a baby. I will assist you to make decisions and plan for the day your baby is born. 

I am a proud mother to three children and I live with my partner Ross in the bayside area. I am passionate about Calmbirth and I look forward to seeing you at my Calmbirth workshops in South Melbourne soon.

My workshops are small and intimate in nature. Couples will enjoy the workshops in a quiet studio with limited numbers. I believe that this setting gives couples the personal experience. I can then work closely with you to gain the optimal benefits of my Calmbirth Workshops.
