Midwife and Mother of 4 Children

 

My name is Clare Lane. When I was 10 my mother had my youngest sister and I helped mum care for her, this gave me loads of practical skills and set me on my midwifery path. I loved babies and small children and knew my destiny lay in that direction. I have been a midwife now for over 30 years. I have experience working both in the home and hospital setting.

 

I am Medicare eligible and am endorsed to be able to prescribe and order my own blood tests and scans. I have had midwife care for the birth of my 4 children, one in a birth centre and 3 at home. 

 

My other passion is breastfeeding and I am a qualified lactation consultant with 12 years experience in this area. I am experienced in waterbirth and helping women have a vaginal birth after a caesarean. My other interests include aromatherapy, massage and homeopathy for use in pregnancy and childbirth. 

 

I am passionate about working with pregnant women and their families. Having a baby is a fabulous, exciting adventure and I am very privileged to go with women on that journey.
