"I had continuity of care ... from a midwife"

Brooke Jones experienced a strong career, which was most recently within the health policy and research sector in WA. With the necessary academic qualifications, she was a knowledgeable policy maker. This allowed her to be involved in the monitoring and implementation of key programs to support those in our society.

However, this career was interrupted with her becoming a mother. As can often be the case after a significant life event, she reassessed her professional outlook during pregnancy, after child birth and through the wonder mothering a new born. Brooke changed her focus and has successfully studied to become a “midwife”

Through the combination of the emotions felt during this lived experience and the compassion for supporting other women, Brooke has now fully embraced a career as an independent registered midwife. Further, she is committed to understanding the importance of the individual circumstances faced by every woman during their pregnancy journey and what is important when supporting them during this time.
