CARLY WEMYSS
I am 32 years old, married and the mother of three beautiful girls, Georgia 5 and Kara 4, and Emma 19 months. I have lived in Ballarat most of my life. I am passionate about empowering Ballarat women to be confident in their body and its ability to give birth. Caring for local families on their journey through pregnancy, birth and into early motherhood is such a fantastic experience and an absolute privilege.
My personal journey into motherhood has led me to my career as a Body Wise Birth Worker™ and to open a business devoted to not only educating families, but educating other women to become birth workers so that they can go on to support other women within the community.
After assisting hundreds of families during labour, I have discovered that hospital staff are very busy running between several patients, taking observations, notes and performing procedures, they are not able to provide continuous, one on one support for labouring women. Ongoing support from a knowledgeable birth worker can help to bridge this gap, and provide labouring mothers and support people with a sense of safety and comfort; an essential element of a normal labour.
Most women can tell you what their birth experience/s was like, even after many years. Giving birth creates such vivid memories, so I understand the importance of making it as comfortable as possible. As a birth worker, I have the opportunity to help safeguard an environment that is conducive to memories of a gentle, supported and empowered birth.
Working with women and their partners closely during the pregnancy, helps them to become confident about their choices prior to the birth. Throughout this time relationships are formed so when the day of the birth finally arrives the couple feel safe and protected and unobserved, as a relationship of trust and respect has already been formed.
I am a qualified Birth Support Worker (Doula), Childbirth Educator and Breastfeeding Counsellor. I am currently studying Complementary Medicine, which adds to my experience as a natural therapist. I have extensive experience in pregnancy massage and other complimentary modalities. I have a passion for promoting wellness, and have experience in natural fertility management, and dietary and lifestyle counseling.
I am committed to providing families with up-to-date information about birthing and health options by undertaking on-going education in my field.
