We are thrilled to welcome Trish Sullivan as part of the Nurture team. Trish is a mother of six children and a grandmother of 2. During her most recent pregnancy she received continuity of care with a midwife who could support, advocate and
teach her as well as believe in her ability to birth her baby. Her son was born vaginally after 5 previous caesareans and this experience inspired her to begin her own journey into midwifery.
Trish will be with Nurture until the end of 2018 and will be mentored by Sonya, as well as the other midwives as part of her ongoing learning to become a qualified midwife. As a student midwife, Trish’s role will be to observe and engage with the midwives and families at Nurture throughout their birthing journey in the pregnancy, during the birth, and in the postnatal period.

A little about Trish
“I’m currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Midwifery at ACU and I am excited and humbled to be welcomed as part of the Nurture team. I am looking forward to the wonderful and varied experiences this will provide. I have a degree in creative arts but have worked predominantly in welfare as a youth worker offering support to disengaged or at risk youth and their families.
I have also been privileged to work with many young women during pregnancy and beyond. My journey to midwifery has been inspired by both my professional and personal experiences culminating with the birth of my son Oliver 2 years ago. The care and support I received from my midwife was life changing and after years of advocating for the rights of women I finally found my calling in midwifery.
I believe that family is the essence of our global community with mothers and their children at the centre. My dream is to eventually become a private practicing midwife and have aspirations to establish a community based hub that offers a wide range of services accessible to all women. I am a proponent of holistic woman centred care that empowers and is tailored to suit the needs of the woman and her family.
I believe in birth and am a strong advocate for a woman’s right to informed choice. I feel deeply honoured to have the opportunity to join you and your family on your unique journey.
