I’m Kylie and I’ve been working as a midwife since 2017. Prior to becoming a midwife I was a paediatric nurse with over 20 years experience. I have worked in all areas of midwifery but now choose to work in Labour Ward as I love supporting women and their partners in labour and experiencing the joy of birth. I feel it is a privilege to be part of something so beautiful, life changing and transformational. I simply love my work.

Labour and birth is remarkably unique and different for each woman. The more women I looked after in labour the more I noticed  that women who had attended the Calmbirth course were knowledgeable, prepared, calm, confident  and controlled. They felt powerful and strong. They trusted their bodies to know what to do. Their partners knew what to do. They were prepared for all possibilities. I want more women to feel prepared for labour and birth so decided to become a Calmbirth Educator.

I look forward to sharing my skills and knowledge with more women and their partners in my role as a Calmbirth Educator.

I will be taking some leave to concentrate on my family for the first half of 2024.  I can’t wait to get back to teaching Calmbirth so will advertise dates as soon as possible, please check in again soon or follow me on Instagram : calmbirth_with_kylie_furness
