Hi there,
I’m Caitlyn
I became a private midwife to offer women the ‘continuity of care’ that we know leads to the best outcomes for women and their families.
Midwifery came to me like a lightning bolt – unexpected and uprooting. As I began my studies and progressed in my career, I observed the profound impact midwifery care can have on women’s lives. This led me to recognise that birthing rights are human rights, and ever since, I have been committed to cultivating a practice to care for women in a manner reflecting that belief.
“Having a baby is a psychological revolution that changes our relation to almost everything and everyone.”
- Esther Perel
my story
I live on our family farm in Yallingup with my husband Dan and our two daughters. My husband was born here in his childhood home, followed by the birth of our daughter under the same roof. Dan spends his time in his organic market garden, orchards, and is a regular stallholder at the Margaret River Farmers Markets.
The place where my children are raised, Dan’s history in this area, and my work with local families both in the hospital and at home, all give me a strong sense of belonging and commitment to my local community.
