With extensive experience supporting women and families within the hospital system, Erin now offers comprehensive private midwifery and lactation services in both a professional clinic setting and in the home.
Her philosophy focuses on continuity of care, ensuring families receive consistent, trusted support throughout pregnancy, antenatal care, birth preparation, and postnatal recovery.
Erin’s approach combines clinical expertise with a warm, holistic women-centred approach. Drawing on both her professional background and lived experience as a mother, she understands the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy and early parenthood. She is passionate about supporting families through this transformative time with compassionate, individualised, and evidence-based care that promotes confidence, informed choice, and positive birth and postpartum experiences.
As an Endorsed Midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Erin provides a full scope of services including antenatal breastfeeding preparation, postpartum care, newborn support, and specialised breastfeeding support. Her care is tailored to meet the unique needs of each family, whether preparing for birth, navigating the early weeks with a newborn, or seeking expert lactation guidance.
Erin is able to support you with any breastfeeding concerns including nipple damage, supply concerns, low weight gain, mastitis, tongue tie, oral dysfunction, pain and engorgement, breast refusal, relactation, weaning, and any other issues which may arise.
Erin is registered with Medicare, allowing eligible clients to access rebates for private midwifery services from early pregnancy through to 7 weeks postpartum. This helps make high-quality, personalised maternity care more accessible for families seeking a private midwife and lactation consultant.
WHAT IS AN IBCLC LACTATION CONSULTANT?
An IBCLC is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant — the highest recognised qualification in lactation care.
An IBCLC provides skilled, evidence-based assessment and support for infant feeding, including breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, milk supply concerns, and complex feeding issues. When combined with private midwifery care, this offers families a more holistic level of support through pregnancy, birth recovery, feeding, and the postpartum period.

WHY FAMILIES SEEK SUPPORT
Many parents assume feeding should come naturally, but in reality, feeding challenges are incredibly common. Early support can make a significant difference to comfort, confidence and outcomes.
​
You may benefit from seeing our Private Midwife and IBCLC Lactation Consultant if:
• Breastfeeding feels painful or stressful
• Your baby is having trouble latching or staying on the breast
• You are worried about milk supply
• Your baby seems unsettled, gassy or feeds constantly
• You are recovering from a difficult birth and need practical support
• You want reassurance that feeding is going well
• You would like support with expressing, pumping or bottle feeding
• You want expert care that looks at both mum and baby together
HOLISTIC POSTPARTUM SUPPORT
Our care goes beyond feeding alone.
As a Private Midwife, she can also support you through the early postpartum period with guidance around recovery, normal newborn behaviour, maternal wellbeing, and adjusting to life with a new baby.
This is personalised care that takes the time to look at the full picture — because supporting mothers matters too.
A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO CARE
At InTouch Health Co, we believe the best care is collaborative.
When needed, your care can sit alongside support from our broader team, including osteopathy, psychology, acupuncture, naturopathy, dietetics, remedial massage and other practitioners who support mothers, babies and families.
We are here to help you feel heard, supported and cared for.
