Jenna-Rose Sheehan,

Essence Midwifery

An ocean lover, avid gardener, mother, and endorsed midwife. My journey into motherhood has been my greatest teacher, shaping the woman, mother, and midwife I am today. My two little ones have deepened my passion for women’s health, inspiring me to advocate fiercely for women as they navigate the sacred transitions of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

My midwifery path began in a regional hospital, where I was fortunate to learn from some of the most passionate, intuitive, and caring midwives. Their passion reinforced what I have always believed—birth is a deeply personal and transformative experience, and when women are nurtured in an environment of trust and respect, they flourish.

Drawn back to Melbourne to be near family, my partner and I settled down in the inner north, where we welcomed our own children earthside. My daughter, a little mermaid, was born into the water just as my midwife arrived, while my son, eager to meet us, made his way swiftly into the world at home before we could even reach the hospital—held by love, with my daughter and partner by my side.

I believe in the innate power of women, the wisdom of our bodies, and the importance of being surrounded by care that truly sees and honours you. Continuity of care is not just about better health outcomes—it’s about being held, seen, and supported in one of life’s most profound moments. After years of working in one of Melbourne’s tertiary maternity hospitals, I am proud to step into private practice, offering personalised, home-based midwifery care that nurtures the whole woman and their families.

Birth is more than a moment—it is a transformation, a rite of passage, and a journey to be honoured. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you, holding space for your story, your choices, and your power as you bring new life into the world.
