Despite growing demand for natural, physiological, midwifery-led care, families on the Gold Coast have had limited access to licensed private birthing options. Public birth centres can be limited and oversubscribed. Private hospitals often offer clinical safety but lack continuity, holistic support, and birth environments that respect the natural, physiological process.

Matrescence Birthing Centres Gold Coast was created to offer an alternative: a licensed private birth centre, grounded in woman-led care, that brings together clinical safety and holistic support under one roof. Our goal is to support natural, spontaneous birth in a calm, spa-like sanctuary - without epidurals, inductions, instrumental or surgical intervention. Your care is grounded within the continuity of care by your midwife (or one of our centre-endorsed midwives) and the multidisciplinary collaboration of our team. We’re proud to be the only licensed, midwifery-led Level 2 facility of our kind in Queensland.

Our care model centres around continuity with your own private midwife, or one of our centre-endorsed midwives, supported by a trusted team of allied health professionals, educators and credentialed doctors.

Through our licensed co-admission model, your midwife leads your care, with oversight from one of our supportive medical practitioners and specialist doctors when clinically indicated. This model protects both continuity and safety, and allows your care to remain eligible for private health insurance rebates.

Our birthing suites are designed to promote calm and oxytocin flow with sensory design, warm lighting, deep water birth options and space to move freely.

Every element of our space, care team and process has been created to walk beside women through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.

We support physiological, undisturbed birth.

Matrescence Birthing Centres Gold Coast was founded by Shellanda - an endorsed midwife, a mother, and a passionate advocate for physiological,
woman - led care.

Shellanda created this birthing sanctuary in response to the lack of licensed, holistic birthing options on the Gold Coast, offering a space that honours natural, physiological birth, continuity of care, and the full journey into motherhood.

Shellanda’s vision was to create a centre that doesn’t just care for women during labour, but supports the full unfolding of motherhood ‘matresence’ before, during, and long after birth.

“This birthing centre is the realisation of that vision”
