Lani Merrick

Hi, I'm Lani.

I'm a registered midwife with over a decade of experience across public and private hospitals, continuity of care, and homebirth, with extensive experience supporting families through birth trauma.

Lani Merrick, registered midwife

Alongside teaching clients and midwifery students, I bring bodywork skills focused on the pelvis, helping women and birthing people prepare their bodies for birth. I bring both clinical and lived experience, having given birth twice myself, once in hospital and once at home.

My goal isn't to tell you how to birth. It's to give you practical knowledge and tools for wherever and however your birth unfolds.

Many birth classes focus on the stages of labour or what a "normal" birth looks like. I want to help you prepare for a birth that might look different to what you expect, teaching through anatomy, biomechanics, and how your baby moves through your pelvis, alongside practical skills and hands-on techniques to help you prepare, understand your options, and feel more equipped.

What I offer

Internal pelvic release work, the birth prep class, and birth debriefing, all in Melbourne (Naarm).
