Hi, my name is Shellanda Eller, creator and founder of Birthing Mum.

I am a Private Midwife and HypnoBirthing International accredited practitioner, I’m passionate about assisting birthing mums to have a positive, well-informed and supported experience. My journey in supporting mothers started over 25 years ago when I worked as a nanny and provided newborn support services. After having my own two children, I trained as a Doula and then completed further study graduating in 2015 as a Registered Midwife and also trained in HypnoBirthing the Mongan Method. Recently completed my prescribing course at Edith Cowan University to meet APHRA requirements to become a Private Practice Midwife

I have been working in the home birth space since the end of 2021 and am now able to offer Private Midwife services. Before moving into private practice I worked for many years I worked in the public sector at a tertiary hospital. Predominantly in the birth suite, maternity assessment unit, providing maternity inpatient care for antenatal and postnatal women, newborn discharge baby assessments and breastfeeding support.

I love working as a Midwife. However, I observed that most women are not adequately educated prior to birth, and receive limited support postnatally, which lead me to create Birthing Mum.
