Midwife Sylvia Jenkin
My name is Sylvia Jenkin, and I am a qualified private midwife operating on the picturesque Sunshine Coast in Queensland, providing comprehensive pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care services.
My vocation is deeply rooted in my passion; I am dedicated to supporting women and families through the complete journey of parenthood while ensuring you receive holistic and expert midwifery care throughout the development of your baby.
Empower yourself by birthing according to your preferences and enjoy six weeks of dedicated parenting and breastfeeding support from your midwife/IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).
To begin this journey, please reach out to schedule our initial consultation, during which we will discuss your inquiries, requirements, birth preferences, and options, empowering you to make informed decisions during this transformative period of life.
“Parents hold their children’s hands for just a little while and their hearts forever.”
We offer expert and compassionate one-to-one midwifery support to assist you throughout your journey to parenthood.
We provide options for home births, water births and hospital births with credentialed midwife care.
This ritual aims to facilitate the concluding phase of the process of gestation and delivery of your baby.
You will receive six weeks of post-birth midwifery care during which we will assess the well-being of both you and your baby, providing expert guidance on physical and mental health.
We meet monthly for our Belly, Baby and Beyond catch-ups.
Private midwifery care offers dedicated, personal and holistic guidance through your pregnancy, birth and post birth care by the same midwife. This continuity allows us to build a trusted relationship where you feel understood, respected and genuinely cared for at every stage – we are aiming to meet regularly during your pregnancy and achieve the best birth possible, which could be at hospital or at home, in the water or on land followed by 6 weeks midwifery postnatal care and concluded with a closing bones ceremony.
Our appointments are relaxed, unhurried and tailored to your needs, giving you space to ask questions, explore choices and make informed decisions – all in the comfort of your home (mostly about 90 minutes long).
We can order all your relevant pregnancy blood tests and ultrasounds, as well as, organise obstetric review if needed or wanted. As credentialed midwives to Sunshine Cost University Hospital we offer seamless referral and transfer to birth-suite and one-on-one midwifery care during labour and birth. Private midwife fee’s apply and Medicare and private health care rebates are available.
Please get in touch to organise an obligation-free initial appointment where we can meet and decide whether we are the right fit for your journey into parenthood.
You will be invited to our monthly belly, baby and beyond park gatherings to share women’s wisdom, laughter and potential tears.
Our goal is to build a strong relationship before your labour, ensuring we approach the labour and birth process with trust and confidence in both your body and your baby.
