About me
Hi, I’m Amy Garrett—a certified counsellor, practising Registered Midwife, and mum of two.
After spending countless hours alongside women in the birth space, I realised how important (and often overlooked) deep emotional support and healing can be in a woman’s birthing journey. This passion led me to pursue post-graduate studies in counselling and launch Heart and Womb.
It’s an honour to provide women a non-judgemental, trauma-informed space for you to share and process their birth stories. Through birth debriefing, I help you gain clarity and move toward healing.
I’m also passionate about birth preparation counselling, a unique blend of my midwifery and counselling expertise, designed to help you build emotional resilience for labour, birth, and motherhood.
When I’m not immersed in all things birthing, you’ll find me curled up with my Kindle, on my yoga mat, or enjoying time with family and friends. Every woman’s story matters, and I’m here to support you in finding strength, understanding, and self-compassion on your path forward.
“Amy was calm, validating, non-judgemental, nurturing and warm. I feel so much lighter about my birth and her expertise was so valuable.”
