Sarah Smits ~ Bridging Worlds Midwifery

[email protected]
Based in the Northern Rivers, NSW, I support women from Byron Bay to  the Gold Coast, QLD. I am a privately practising midwife with over 10 years of experience  across both homebirth and hospital settings in Australia, as well as working alongside traditional midwives internationally. My practice integrates evidence-based midwifery care with traditional knowledge, bodywork, and holistic, lifestyle-based support. I offer continuity of care for homebirth, as well as antenatal and postnatal care from my South Golden Beach clinic. Additional services include pregnancy and postpartum bodywork, breastfeeding support, and placenta medicine. My care is centred on deep, trusting relationships, informed choice, and holistic practices that support both short- and long-term health and wellbeing. I see pregnancy, birth, and mothering as a profound journey of transformation, and it is an honour to guide women and families through this time.

Locations up to 1 hour from Bellingen. Being pregnant and giving birth is a deeply personal experience and a significant rite of passage. Women should emerge from the childbirth continuum feeling joyful, strong and confident, and babies should be welcomed in the most gentle and loving way possible. Britt's philosophy of care is based on the belief that pregnancy and birth is a natural physiological process, that women have the innate ability to birth their babies, and that birth is almost always a family event rather than a medical one.

Taree & surrounds. I am a woman, midwife, mofher and grandmother. My interest in homebirth began with my first child 37 years ago, since then I have broadened my experience to include lactation consultancy and child health. My midwifery journey began 33 years ago with homebirth dominating the last 17 years. I believe that childbirth is the most important period of transition in a woman's life and the support she gets at this time is pivotal in achieving her desired outcomes and shaping the mother she will become.
