Hello! My name is Sharlea, and I am a Registered Midwife and have been for over 7yrs at my local hospital. I gained this qualification at the University of Newcastle and completed my student years at Maitland Hospital. I am also proud to announce I am a qualified Hypnobirthing Practitioner Childbirth Educator, and now have my own business – Soulful & Awakened. I live in the Hunter Valley, and I have lived here for almost 17 years, and absolutely love my little oasis we have created. I have 2 gorgeous boys and a supportive husband.

My passion is to work directly with women and their families to help them gain the knowledge and support they need to claim the positive birth they deserve. My aim is to improve outcomes in physical and mental health for families during birth and beyond. I hope to empower families and hold space for them while providing education and guide them through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

I am so excited to be able to bring this opportunity to light, and help support you at your most vulnerable time. Looking forward to meeting you.

Love & Light, Sharlea xo. (Soulful & Awakened)
