Private Midwifery care.
Welcome and congratulations mama! My name is Sorca and I am a privately practicing midwife who provides care from preconception until six weeks postpartum, inclusive. I support women who choose to birth their babes in their home or in hospital.

Booking appointments usually begin at 12 weeks into your pregnancy and visits are monthly until around 28 weeks and become more frequent until birth. You may choose to contact me at any stage of pregnancy or preconception.
-
I support women to choose the safest place possible for them. Safety incorporates not only physical aspects, but emotional and spiritual as well. For many women, these choices include birthing in home or hospitaI.

I offer holistic, in home postnatal care from birth up until discharge when your baby is around six weeks of age.
A RITE OF PASSAGE.
I AM DEEPLY HONOURED TO WALK BESIDE WOMEN AS THEY MEET THEIR BABE AND CROSS THE THRESHOLD OF MAIDEN TO MOTHER
ABOUT ME.
Midwifing found me early in my adult life at a time when I was undergoing deep internal shifts around life and health, and a passion for women’s rights/rites. Midwife, to me, means more about witnessing, supporting and gatekeeping thresholds of life in a sacred and physiological way. It was not until my own birth of my daughter at home, did I then step into my full potential of what it means to be midwife. Walking beside women as their knowing of themselves, shapeshifts and re-emerges newly transformed is one of my highest honours.
FAQs
WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL TO?
I live in Warragul, Victoria but will travel up to 1 hour away for births. I visit you in your home for pregnancy and postpartum visits.
do i require a gp referral to see you?
No, there is no need for a referral to my services. You may simply call or email me and we can go from there.
HOW MUCH ARE YOUR FEES?
This does look different for everyone, however most women who reach out to me for a full continuity homebirth experience can expect to pay about $9500, inclusive of birth pool hire and second midwife fees. Medicare provides rebates for pregnancy and postnatal care, so you can expect to claim back a sum from Medicare at the conclusion of care. Currently, this is around $1300.
AT WHAT STAGE OF PREGANCY DO I REACH OUT?
It is always worth reaching out, no matter if you are in preconception stage or 36 weeks pregnant! There is always a chance I may have availability and can be your midwife.
