Hi! My name is Paula, Endorsed Midwife and founder of Pause Postpartum. I am so glad you’ve made your way here, and cannot wait to be a part of your postpartum journey.

I have been immersed in the world of maternity care for almost a decade. Having travelled up and down the east coast of Australia for the last 6 years practicing as a Registered Nurse & Midwife, I have gained experience in large metropolitan hospitals, regional hospitals and continuity of care midwifery.

It was while living in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, working in Midwifery Group Practice, that my love for the postpartum period was born. Having the opportunity to build rapport with couples throughout pregnancy, then see them thriving as a new family in the comfort of their own home, was something that felt incredibly special to be a part of.

The stark contrast came when I began working at a big, busy hospital in inner-city Melbourne, where I realised the limitations of maternity care within our healthcare system. Without the resources and time to fully nurture women in their early postpartum days, I was driven to find a way to provide this.

In 2023 I completed my postgraduate studies to become an Endorsed Midwife, which allows me to work independently, to prescribe medications and ultrasounds when necessary, and offer Medicare rebates for my clients. This enables me to offer comprehensive guidance and support to families navigating the postpartum period - an often challenging, yet beautiful time of transition.

Through Pause Postpartum, my goal is to provide evidence-based care and education to new families, to hold and nurture new mothers so that they can truly pause and cherish those precious newborn moments.

I’m so thrilled that you are here, and look forward to supporting you through this special time!
