Antenatal Care in Clinic

Private fees apply with Medicare rebate

I love caring for mums during pregnancy, and can provide GP shared antenatal care for Portland and Warrnambool. I have a particular passion for supporting mums with hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness), previous birth trauma and mental health conditions. All antenatal appointments with me are long, so we can go through all of your questions and concerns. Best of all, you will have consistent care in the post-natal period from a GP you know.

Home Visit - Six Week Check

You and your baby will both receive a check up, and you will have time to ask all of your questions. We can discuss sleep, settling, feeding, mental health - anything you like.

For safety reasons I am unable to provide immunisations or release oral ties in your home visit.
