Manage episode 406496663 series 3508322
In today’s episode, as a part of the midwife stories series, I chat with Jessie, mum to 4, including 1 born at home, and midwife and academic from the Sunshine Coast on Gubi Gubi country. Very specially, Jessie was also one of my own tutors as a student midwife. In this episode, we chat about how Jessie found midwifery, her work as a midwife and birth culture in Australia. It was amazing to speak with jessie after all these years and learn more about her. This episode will be great for student midwives and midwives alike, so please share it!
