Hi Beautiful Mama! Welcome
About Tahlia
my name is Tahlia!
​
I am a mother to a beautiful little boy Harrison, and wife to my handsome husband Zac, I’m a sister, a friend, a daughter, I am just like you. I have a noisy home and busy life, I am A lover of coffee, chocolate, Netflix & a huge birth nerd.
I attended my midwifery studies through University of Newcastle, throughout this I attended Clinical training within the Maitland hospital. And throughout this experience I craved to know and see more of the midwifery world.
​
Upon graduating my bachelor of midwifery, I set out on my biggest adventure to rural Dubbo to find what kind of midwife I wanted to be and as young a woman what it would be like to live out of home and out of my family hometown and oh boy did, I learn a lot about myself, and my eyes opened to the world beyond little Maitland.
The culture change in and out of the hospital setting. How midwives from all over travelled to Dubbo for work and it was the most connected I had ever felt with women and their families, most of us were away from our families so making our own little family is what made it the life changing experience to me personally.
​
But eventually I missed my family, friends and my partner so I moved back home and gained a position at The John Hunter Hospital where I worked alongside some very experienced knowledgeable midwives and obstetricians.
​
I truly believe women and families everywhere deserve to have to have true informed choice and safe, respectful care.
​
My goal is to provide more access for women in our communities to continuity and evidenced-based care.
I am based in Cessnock and Service the Hunter Valley and Newcastle surrounding areas.

Woman-centered care is the focus of midwifery practice in all settings.” – Nursing and Midwifery Board Aphra (NMBA) Midwife Standards for Practice
