Alice Skipper
A huge congratulations on your pregnancy! What a wonderful journey you are about to embark on. As a mother to 4 gorgeous boys I understand that the journey to parenthood is a time like no other. I am passionate about facilitating informed decision making and empowering women during pregnancy, birth & postnatal period. I am a midwife passionate about the natural process of pregnancy and birth and I have a holistic approach to the care I provide. As well as birthing at North Shore hospital, I love to support homebirth and the use of the primary unit. However I am trained to notice & act upon any deviations, and am confident working with the obstetric team at North Shore Hospital. My main goal is to empower women throughout their experience and help facilitate happy and healthy outcomes. I work alongside a group of wonderful midwives who all share the same philosophy. My back up Alex and I are similar in the way we practice and support each other in taking alternate weekends off.

Testimonials
“I had Alice for the birth of my second , she was so amazing through out with my HG, low iron and hospital visits for drips! I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else to be my midwife - especially after rushing from her dental appointment (mouth numb may i add) and catching baby Kai before he hit the floor! She helped me through my SCBU journey and was so caring. She is thorough with her information and goes above and beyond. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“I will forever be grateful to Alice Skipper who has been with me throughout my pregnancy.. She understood my situation and was very helpful all throughout.. Hopefully, the next time I get pregnant, Alice will still be there with me.. All the best to the amazing team of the Cottage Midwives!”
“Alex and Alice are absolutely incredible, so attentive, made me feel so comfortable, empowered and confident in myself in such a vulnerable time. Made the home birth of my dreams come true, I really am so grateful. Definitely will be a third time returning client when the time comes, couldn’t have anyone else as my midwives.”
“Alice was my midwife for both babies. I couldn’t have done it without her. She is kind, caring and has a lovely sense of humour. She was knowledgeable and was able to provide answers/suggestions to my concerns. She was absolutely amazing throughout the entire pregnancy journey. Thank you so much for being there for us Alice!”
“Alice Skipper was the best midwife any first time mum could ever ask for. She had kept me calm and stress free throughout my pregnancy, even through times where my health was in a bit of a rut because of my thyroid condition. If I had worries she was always reassuring. She handled my somewhat quick labour and delivery like a champ and was always there to answer my questions during the first
couple of weeks of my baby daughters life. Any expectant mum would be lucky to have her as their MW!”
