LUCY CARROLL Bsc Hons. | Registered Midwife | Childbirth Educator | 

Lucy is a Registered Midwife from Bath, England. Having completed her Midwifery training at the prestigious City University in London, she went on to do her preceptorship year at a large NHS University Hospital in East London where she held a rotational position working between the low risk midwifery led birthing unit, the high risk obstetric unit and the ante and postnatal wards. Lucy then moved into the Community setting, where she ran a low risk midwifery clinic for pregnancy, provided postnatal care in the home setting and attended many home births alongside the Home Birth Midwifery Team. Having cared for a been present for thousands of babies in her 15 years as a Registered Midwife, Lucy’s care and compassion has led her to positively impact women and their families.

Education is Lucy’s real drive within midwifery. Through her career she has mentored student and junior midwives and developed and implemented childbirth education programmes within the hospital setting, teaching hundreds of couples prepare for labour, birth and parenting.

Breastfeeding support and promotion is of great interest to Lucy, and through her hospital role, Lucy works closely with Lactation specialists to create and guide mothers with individualised feeding plans.

When an opportunity for an overseas midwifery role arose in 2014, Lucy ventured here to Australia taking a position at the Mater Private Hospital working across all areas of Maternity: Birth unit, the Post Natal ward and the Education Team utilising her diverse range of midwifery skills.

Nine years on, Lucy is an Australian Citizen and Australia is now home.

Lucy’s love for education has grown through her career, leading her to complete her Calmbirth®’ Educator Training in 2019. It is in this training that Lucy developed a great interest in the mind- body connection, providing the foundation for the educational support Lucy has to offer. Lucy is not currently teaching the Calmbirth programme. 

From here, Birth & Beyond Education was born, a platform to provide education and guidance beyond a hospital setting and into the community, preparing couples for the journey into parenthood. Childbirth is both personal and unpredictable and Lucy aims to provide evidence-based information, leaving couples confident to take control of their birthing experience, and feeling prepared no matter how the experience unfolds.
