The Village Way
Bump, birth and beyond. At The Village Way, in the heart of Gippsland, we offer private Midwifery care.
Evidence supports continuity of care with a known Midwife is the gold standard of care for mothers and babies. It is well documented that it improves the woman’s experience and outcomes in pregnancy and birth. The Village Way can offer you care throughout pregnancy, homebirth and up to 6 weeks postpartum.
Private Midwifery care and homebirth offer a transformative approach to childbirth—one that celebrates the raw beauty and strength of the birthing process while prioritising your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. With individualised care, your unique journey is honoured and your desired birth experience comes to life!
Megan is an Endorsed private practice Midwife with over 12 years of experience providing maternity care in the metro and rural hospital setting and more recently in homebirth.
When you engage in care with Megan, you hire a private care provider. This means that Megan can provide care from the beginning of your pregnancy through to 6 weeks post birth, including homebirth. She is on the journey with you, no matter what twists and turns arise.
Megan can order blood tests, ultrasounds, medications and make referrals to specialists if required. A second Registered Midwife is provided for each homebirth.
Megan is Medicare eligible which means that part of your fee attracts a rebate.
