About Me

Hello!

My name is Ellie Bird, and I am an endorsed, privately practicing midwife in Melbourne’s West.

I am passionate about providing personalised, holistic midwifery care that honours pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as profound and transformative experiences.

I offer continuity of care throughout the entire journey, supporting women and families with compassion, respect, and evidence-based guidance.

Over the last 12 years, I have worked across a wide range of maternity settings including rural hospitals, tertiary hospitals, midwifery group practice, home birth and private practice. These experiences have given me a broad depth of clinical knowledge while strengthening my belief in the importance of relationship-based, client-centred care.

My practice is centred around home birth and the belief that birth unfolds best when women and birthing people feel safe, informed, and deeply supported in their choices. I am committed to creating a calm and empowering environment where families can birth in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, with care tailored to their individual needs and preferences.

I work in partnership with families to provide care that is responsive, respectful, and centred on trust. I value informed decision-making and support each woman/birthing person to feel confident and empowered throughout their maternity journey.

My approach combines clinical expertise with holistic care, recognising the emotional, physical, and psychological wellbeing of both mother and baby. I strive to nurture strong connections, continuity and positive birth experiences that leave families feeling heard, respected, and cared for.

When I’m not midwifing, you’ll find me at home with my wife and fur family! I’m a lover of coffee, animals, weekend adventures and curling up in bed with a good book! <3
