Hello I'm Shannon!
I am a dedicated midwife with over 9 years of experience and I have a deep passion for supporting women through the sacred transition into motherhood.
I have a graduate certificate in perinatal mental health, and I am currently completing a masters degree in primary maternity health care. I love gaining new knowledge and am always seeking to expand my skill-set so I can best serve women through their perinatal journey.
I have worked across various different areas within one of South Australia’s tertiary maternity hospitals, where I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience. As a mother of two beautiful children, I understand how transformative (and overwhelming) the postpartum period can be.
I have a special interest in the connection between the mother and baby nervous system, and how nurturing this bond can support healing and regulation for both. As a certified baby massage instructor, I love guiding families toward deeper bonding with their baby and supporting the family unit as a whole.
Shannon is a wonderful midwife and we are so grateful to have her supporting our Northern Adelaide/Barossa families!
Shannon's special interests:
- Postnatal care
