OUR STORY
Welcome
Jacinta Reid – Private Midwife & Director
A DECADE OF WALKING ALONGSIDE WOMEN
I'm a passionate midwife who has walked alongside women for more than a decade.
I began my career in a busy tertiary hospital, where I gained invaluable experience — but over time, I realised something important:
Women don't need more rules.
They need more trust, more space, and more autonomy.
That realisation changed everything.
I knew there had to be another way to support women, one that honoured their intuition, their voice, and their unique journey into motherhood.
Not long after, my family and I chose to reset. We bought a van, began homeschooling our children, and travelled around Australia. That chapter gave me perspective, freedom, and a deep reconnection to what truly matters both in life and in birth.
It brought me back to the heart of this work.
THE HEART OF THIS WORK
Today, I support women in a way that feels fully aligned with my values.
As a private midwife, I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and deeply supported through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I believe that when a woman is supported by a midwife she trusts and who trusts her the outcomes for both mother and baby are profoundly improved, physically and emotionally.
Birth, to me, is sacred.
It is raw, powerful, and deeply transformative.
I trust birth.
And I trust women.
A woman, as long as she lives, will remember how she was made to feel at her birth
— Anna Verwaal
WHY INTUITIVE BIRTH COLLECTIVE
I believe birth is not something a woman needs to be taught—
it is something she already knows.
Beneath the noise of modern systems and expectations, there is an ancient intelligence that lives within every woman. A quiet, unwavering knowing. Intuition. Birth, in its most undisturbed form, is an expression of that knowing, an experience led from within, not managed from outside.
As a collective, we exist to honour and protect that innate wisdom. To remind women that they are not disconnected from birth, they are birth.
My role is to walk alongside you offering guidance, information, and steady support so you can make decisions that feel right for you and your family.
BEYOND THE BIRTH ROOM
Outside of midwifery, I'm someone who is deeply connected to energy, intuition, and intention.
I believe timing matters, and I pay close attention to how things feel because that matters too.
I often share this with my daughters:
If it's not a full-body yes, it's a no.
And honestly, that wisdom holds just as true in birth.
Nature is where I return to myself, sunshine, water, and quiet moments to ground and reset (including a very intentional shower after each birth I attend).
It is a privilege to witness women step into their power through birth. I never take for granted the trust families place in me during such a significant and life-changing time.
I am here to support you, honour your choices, and help you feel confident, informed, and empowered, every step of the way.
