Approach & Midwifery Style
Pregnancy and birth is not a sickness but a natural process. We, therefore, promote natural births and reserve interventions such as inductions and cesarean sections only when there are complications. Women-centered care is essential to having a good pregnancy and birthing experience. We respect and take into account your choices and believe in shared decision-making.
Birth is a team effort. We work together as a team of birth workers consisting of midwives, doulas, sonographers, general practitioners and obstetricians, all working together in an integrated team. Our providers create a supportive and holistic environment for a safe and memorable pregnancy, birthing and postnatal journey. Digital solutions improve the client – provider experience. Our intelligent health technology applications and digital solutions ensure that you get the necessary care at the right time, always.
Medical bills should be predictable and affordable. We offer an end-to-end maternity programme from pregnancy booking right through birth up to 6 weeks post-delivery.

Pregnancy labour and birthing is a supernatural process. Every woman is capable of birthing a baby her way in a hands off approach. A mom is an advocate for her own labour and birthing. Allowing moms to take charge of this period in their lives, is empowering. Teaching open mindedness regarding the process and the possible turn of events involved in preparation for the arrival of a new member of the family helps families to lose control and focus on enjoying the process and the event itself. I love my job.

Approach & Midwifery Style
Welcome and thank you for choosing Protea Nursing Services for your care! We are a private nursing and midwifery practice. We aim to provide excellent nursing and midwifery services to our clients, to meet their individual needs.
I always knew that I wanted to be a midwife. Before I even started my journey to become a nurse the whole process of childbearing held a special place in my heart. When I finally trained as a midwife it just affirmed what I had always known, my place was at the family’s side when you bring new life into this world. It is a very sacred time in a person’s life, whether you are starting a new family or becoming parents again for the fifth time. It remains a blessing and should be treated with attention to detail, individualized care and sensitivity. I trained at the University of Johannesburg and received a Bachelors Degree in Nursing with qualifications in the fields of midwifery, community nursing and psychiatric nursing. I then did my community service as a midwife at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital after finishing my training. It was through my own experience during my first pregnancy that I fell in love with Genesis Clinic and eventually to work there as a staff midwife. I have been fortunate to have had both my children at Genesis. It was through my experiences as a mother and a midwife that I wanted to go into private practice, to give others the same positive experiences that I had during my journeys into motherhood. I believe that you are the captain of the boat and should be well informed throughout your pregnancy, to make educated choices for you, your family and your baby. As a team we will work together to strive towards a positive experience throughout the pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond.

I believe that supporting a family starts with empowering them to make informed decisions about their care. An empowered mother has confidence and trusts her body. My aim is to create a safe place for a birthing and growing family where they are free to express themselves without judgement or coercion into making decisions that they are not comfortable with. Education and information is crucial in this process. Staying up to date with the newest evidence based research to ensure a safe practice is of utmost importance.

Approach & Midwifery Style
I follow a woman-centred and family centred approach to midwifery that respects the needs of both mother and unborn baby and supports them in their journey. I am generally hands-off yet recognise the moments when medical assistance may become expedient for the safety of mother and child. I encourage the mother to educate herself and take full responsibility for her health, I inform and educated so the mother can make informed decisions about her care as far as is possible. I work with a wonderful obstetrician who supports woman-centred childbirth.

About Tamryn
I have a calm and grounded approach, and I enjoy following the latest evidence in childbirth and postpartum care. My services and support are tailored to suit your needs. I don’t believe in empowering birthing parents, as you already have the power, strength, and capability – shakti – within you. Sometimes you just need a little reminder of that power; a few practical tools; and some reliable and unbiased physical, emotional, and/or informational support to achieve the positive childbirth experience that you deserve.
From pregnancy through to birth and postpartum, the professional services and useful products I provide will enhance your sense of confidence and comfort that comes from finding a place of control.
I enthusiastically support birthing parents of all ages, genders, cultures, sexual orientations, and belief systems.

Homeopathy

B.Pharm (Rhodes) M.P.S
Approach and Healthcare Style
I believe there is a place for Allopathic/Chemical Drugs… BUT to be used infrequently and for a very limited period of time, to achieve stabilization in acute, extreme cases.
I suggest first approach should be NATURAL…. Homeopathy first & foremost, as this modality always strives to attend to the underlying causation of the illness, as well as the presenting symptoms.
Food management (Naturopathy) in conjunction, is the cornerstone of good health…. Keep the body ALKALINE and the metabolic system operating optimally.
Herbology, in conjunction, also enhances healing, as has a more ‘physical’ action on the body, with far fewer side effects, so prevalent with allopathic medication.
Finally a ‘healthy lifestyle’…regular exercise in any form; Yoga, meditation & enough sleep.

I am a mum to 4 children, 1 caesarean and 3 natural births. I am passionate about mothers having a good birth experience because this has a huge impact on their lives and their mothering.

B.Cur (Stellenbosch 1996) – Registered Nurse (General, Psychiatric and Community) and Midwife
Approach and Healthcare Style
I believe in the importance of keeping mothers and babies together and that treatment for jaundice at home is preferable for many families where the infant is otherwise healthy, so that the whole family is supported during this time. It is extremely stressful for the parents when the birth and postnatal period do not progress as expected.
It is my goal to empower parents to provide for their own babies’ needs in every way possible – from providing help for breastfeeding issues and formulating a feeding plan if clinically necessary, to enabling the parents to provide Kangaroo Mother (Father) Care during phototherapy should they so choose. Each consultation includes time to answer any questions that the new parents may have regarding the care of their newborn baby; as well as those relating to the new mother’s health.

Approach & Midwifery Style
I’m a mother of four amazing children. Two boys and two girls. I am also blessed with two beautiful granddaughters to love and cherish. My journey to become a doula started when my eldest daughter fell pregnant. My desire as doula is to support the expectant mom (and dad) in a way that allows and encourages her to achieve her goals and desires for birth, whatever they may be, as well as one that keeps mom and baby healthy.
The birth of a child is like the beginning of all things— wonder, hope and dream of possibilities. Let me support you and dream together the possibilities. So here I am, at your Service.
It is my highest honour to serve women in one of the most splendid moments of their lives.

WOMBS certified doula
Reiki level II
Currently completing the La Leche League Breastfeeding Peer Counselor course
Approach & Midwifery Style
I am passionate about helping pregnant people, their babies and their families have pregnancy, labour and birth experiences which are supported with love, compassion and respect, As a WOMBS-registered doula, I offer all kinds of holistic non-medical support (from pain-relief to breastfeeding assistance, from evidence-based information to emotional encouragement) for all kinds of births (from home births to caesarean sections), which I combine with an up-to-date evidence-based approach. I am honoured to support pregnant people from all backgrounds, worldviews, and gender expressions.
Although I am not a lactation consultant, as a trained doula and breastfeeding peer counselor trainee I can assist with common non-medical breastfeeding problems (such as effective latching and increasing milk supply). I will refer clients if they need a lactation consultant. I love helping newborns and their parents on the breastfeeding journey, which can be hard at times but is so very worth it in so many ways.
I also offer intuitive Reiki healing, which is a non-invasive energy-based healing technique. Reiki is a based on gentle touching and is safe during pregnancy.
