The Gentle Village Services
Holistic education, midwifery, lactation, tongue tie and infant development care and support, all in one gentle space.
Welcome to The Gentle Village
Becoming a parent can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to stitch together all the bits of advice you’re given, hoping one will make sense or feel like that advice felt true to you. And it certainly shouldn’t leave you questioning whether you’re doing enough, because you always are!
At The Gentle Village, you don’t have to search alone anymore. Everything you need is held in one calm, caring and gentle space. Families come to The Gentle Village for private midwifery care, IBCLC lactation consultations, tongue tie assessments, oral function therapy, antenatal breastfeeding classes, infant feeding support and gentle, collaborative care with trusted paediatric professionals in Perth. Our clinic also supports breastfeeding challenges, bottle refusal, infant reflux, allergies, slow weight gain, tongue tie concerns, unsettled behaviour and newborn feeding difficulties.
Our holistic approach is evidence-based and gently centred around you, just as much as your little one. Your wellbeing matters. Your confidence matters. Your story matters.
Here, you’re gently supported. Here, you’re gently understood. Here, you and your baby are finally seen.
Our Services
-
Lactation Support
Breastfeeding and bottle feeding are deeply emotional parts of early motherhood and when things don’t feel right, it can shake your confidence quickly and have you second guessing why it’s not ‘working’ for you. We often hear mother’s say that they’ve somehow failed when their baby struggles. But you haven’t failed. You’re here, you’re seeking answers, and that alone makes you a strong, responsive mother.
Our lactation consultations explore everything that influences feeding: your comfort, your supply, your baby’s oral function, their behaviour, gut health, weight trends, latch, tongue mobility, bottle acceptance, and your own emotional experience.

Private Midwifery Care
Private midwifery care at The Gentle Village is centred on you, as it should be. We centre your wellbeing, your story, your emotions and your recovery.
Pregnancy and early motherhood can feel like an overwhelming journey, especially when you’re navigating it with a mix of joy, uncertainty, exhaustion and a hundred questions that you may keep getting different answers to. You deserve care that feels continuous, calm and genuinely supportive. Our midwives walk beside you through pregnancy, birth preparation and early postpartum with a gentle, evidence-based approach that honours your instincts, your goals and respects your pace.

Antenatal Classes
Preparing for birth and newborn life should leave you feeling confident, informed and supported, not overwhelmed. Our antenatal classes are intentionally one-on-one, gentle and grounded in real-world experience from midwives and IBCLCs who have walked beside thousands of families.
These classes are designed to help you feel emotionally and practically ready for the journey ahead, with space to ask questions, explore your options and feel truly heard.
The Gentle Village offers comprehensive infant and maternal health services in Perth including private midwifery care, breastfeeding support, lactation consultations, functional tongue tie assessments, oral motor therapy, infant feeding therapy, antenatal classes, reflux and food intolerance guidance and collaborative care with trusted allied health professionals.
