Select Midwifery offers a birth trauma and debriefing service for women everywhere. These sessions are run via Zoom, at a time that's convenient for you.
Please note that these are not counselling sessions, although we do offer referrals to counselling services.
If you feel that your birth impacted you, your baby or your partner negatively, if it left you wondering what happened, if you feel that you need to talk about it, then please get in touch for a debrief.
What we offer is a frank and open discussion with an experienced midwife, focussed around your birth experience. After a few initial questions, you lead the discussion, focussing on the issues that are important to you. We offer unbiased support and feedback, and assist you to work through your experience in your own time. In many cases, we can offer general midwifery advice and suggestions that might assist you in your recovery. Please feel free to compile some questions and concerns that you would like to discuss - this session is all about you! Partners and support people are most welcome too, and we value their input as an important part of your journey to motherhood.
The fee for a one-hour session is $55.00 (AUD).
Unfortunately this service does not attract Medicare rebates and fees must be paid prior to your session. If this is difficult for you, please let us know and we can work something out. If you are outside Australia, you will still receive an invoice in AUD.
Most women find it beneficial to request their medical records prior to their debrief session. This gives a better picture of the clinical picture during the labour and birth. Records allow the midwife to explore and explain anything which you may find confusing or do not understand about your experience. However, this is not essential, especially if you may find it distressing to read your records. You can request your medical records from the health service where you were admitted.
Email us at selectmidwifery@gmail.com to book in. We will send you a short form to complete and then schedule a time that suits you.
