MAMA Midwifery Practice
About MAMA Midwifery Practice
MAMA believes that pregnancy, birth, and early parenting are life-changing experiences – and that every mother and family deserves care that is personal, compassionate, and empowering. Their team of passionate midwives and dedicated practitioners provides holistic antenatal, birth and postnatal care across Melbourne, with the main hub located in Kensington, Victoria – the first centre of its kind in the state.
Founded by midwives Kelly Langford (16 years’ experience) and Jan Ireland (over 40 years’ experience), MAMA combines generations of midwifery wisdom to serve the community. They are supported by a network of practitioners, support staff, volunteers, and past clients who have become part of the MAMA family, all working together to provide individualised care for birthing people and their families.
MAMA’s care model is grounded in respect, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. They view mothers as active partners in their care, offering guidance, information, and support so each woman can make informed decisions about her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.
Whether serving as primary carers or working alongside obstetricians, GPs, or allied health professionals, the focus remains on achieving the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
As endorsed midwives and eligible Medicare providers, MAMA offers rebates for antenatal and postnatal services, making high-quality private midwifery care more accessible. Their services include antenatal care, home and hospital birth support, postnatal midwifery support up to 8 weeks, lactation consultations, birth education, VBAC support, birth trauma debriefs, and more – always tailored to each family’s needs.
MAMA’s mission is simple yet powerful – to walk alongside families through one of life’s most profound journeys, providing the expertise, reassurance, and connection needed to feel confident and supported every step of the way.
