What people are saying.

  • Melissa is knowledgeable about a huge variety of business concepts and was helpful and relatable. I found Melissa’s understanding of the health system and midwifery to be very valuable, making her aware of health care specific considerations, as well as making suggestions for value adding and improving business services. Melissa provided me with incredibly helpful information for my business planning and provided a range of suggestions which will value add or improve the plans I already had in place. I now have enough information to make informed decisions about a number of business aspects and, as an added bonus, I know that Melissa is available to support me with a wide range of business related issues in the future. Thoroughly recommend Melissa Maimann and the Midwifery Practice Consultancy for gaining clarity and business focused information. For a midwife who has no business background (as most of us don't), it was really helpful to discuss health care related business issues with someone who really gets it AND has an MBA and experience.

  • I reached a fork in the road in my career juggling with family and had a session with Melissa to help me think through my options. I was feeling really disillusioned as a doula and out of ideas. Melissa gave me clarity and made suggestions I didn't even know about and gave me a real sense of hope and a goal in mind. This might mean further study but in the end, I'll be well qualified for what I really want to do, and I have a plan for getting on in the meantime. I got so much out of one session and recommend Melissa for anyone needing advice for career and business - she has lots of great ideas from all of her experience.

  • I'm a practice manager in a medical centre and we were trying to find ways of expanding our services to extend our reach. Midwifery was something we wanted to expore as we have lots of pregnant Mums coming into see us. We didn't know if or how it could work with integrating midwifery into our medical practice and it was insightful to have a session with Melissa and hear what the options could look like. We now have a solid and viable financial plan to take back to our director. Melissa's ideas will really help our practice and the practitioners within it.

  • Thinking about getting into private practice - it's been my dream and my passion. But it's been hard to juggle my family and let go of a steady income from my work. Melissa helped me with all the variables I needed to consider and gave me things to think of I'd never even known about! Definitely lots of food for thought. I have a good idea of how I can get started, maintain an income and juggle my family - and I'm excited to get started!

  • Thanks for listening when I needed to talk through a really tough birth I was at. After years of birth suite, this birth really caught me off-guard, I think because of the speed at which it all changed and that nobody has a clear role. It was helpful to talk it all through and feel lighter.
