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.
Your birth, your story, your MAMA.

We believe that high-quality physiotherapy is more than treatment — it’s about empowering you with knowledge, confidence, and the right tools to care for your body and wellbeing.
Our experienced team offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to the unique needs of women and their families, including Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Paediatric Physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates, Mums and Bubs Classes, and safe pre- and post-natal exercise programs.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is one of our core specialties. We provide gentle, evidence-based care for concerns such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, and pregnancy-related discomfort. Our goal is to restore comfort, function, and confidence in your everyday activities.
Our Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists work with clients of all ages to address pain, injury, and postural issues — from back and neck pain to sports injuries and postural imbalances that can occur during pregnancy or while caring for young children.
We also have a dedicated focus on Paediatric Physiotherapy, supporting babies, toddlers, and children with developmental concerns, motor skill challenges, or injury rehabilitation, working closely with families to ensure the best outcomes.
Movement is medicine, and our Clinical Pilates and Mums and Bubs Classes offer a safe, supportive way to build strength, improve posture, and reconnect with your body after birth. All sessions are led by Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists to ensure your exercises are tailored to your needs and safe at every stage.
At Clifton Hill Physiotherapy we are driven by a passion for women’s health and a deep commitment to providing compassionate, individualised care. Our clinic is a welcoming, family-friendly space where you can feel supported, understood, and empowered.

After becoming a mother myself, I realised what an immense adjustment it is and how mothers need to be better supported.Mothers need to be nourished physically, mentally and emotionally just as much as the babies do.
