welcome to
With You Midwifery
All of our services will continue to take place as Essential Services throughout the current Victorian COVID-19 restrictions. Though, to limit With You Midwifery’s travel around the community, all appointments will take place at one clinic location – 1524 Nepean Highway, Mt Eliza. Appointments will be spaced out to allow for only one person in the clinic at a time. We look forward to welcoming you and making our time together the most personal it can be right now. Please call us for any new appointments or queries.

Your dedicated Midwife
With You Midwifery was founded by Penelope Watson in 2016. Her long-term experience on the Know Your Midwife program at Box Hill Hospital inspired her to expand the 1:1 Midwifery care offer on the Mornington Peninsula. Her belief in pregnancy being treated as a normal and natural experience is what drives her philosophy for a woman-centred pregnancy care option, founded on personalised education and support from one Midwife who is with you along your whole journey.
