The Intention at the heart of all we do here
The Gathering Space is a living sanctuary for cultural repair.
We dream of a place where ancient wisdom meets modern care, and the sacred is returned to everyday life.
This space exists to reweave connection, restore reverence for the feminine, and midwife a more whole and healed future, grounded in both heart and health.

Jen Hazi
MIDWIFE
Jennifer is a mum of five daughters and a Registered and Endorsed Midwife working in Private Practice. Her midwifery work is vast and varied, covering pregnancy care, supporting women birthing at home and in hospital, and providing postnatal care in the early weeks. She is committed to delivering evidence-based, respectful, and compassionate care, individually tailored to each woman’s unique needs.
Jennifer is passionate about the transformative journey of birth and motherhood, supporting women to trust their intuition and inner strength. She believes a positive, safe, and loving birth is the best start for every baby, mother, and family.
The Gathering Space is the exciting next step in Jennifer’s work, offering expanded midwifery services, workshops, and community support for women, midwives, and families.
Our Vision
A world where women are deeply supported through every threshold of life. Where care is relational, birth is sacred, and healing is community-held. We envision a cultural return to embodied wisdom, grounded in both ancient ways and modern knowledge, where women trust themselves, care for each other, and walk through life rooted in their power.
Mission
The Gathering Space offers holistic, woman-centred care that honours the full spectrum of becoming, from menstruation to motherhood and beyond. Grounded in both clinical excellence and the wisdom of nature, cycle, and story, we create a sanctuary where women are seen, heard, and held. Through midwifery, naturopathy, circles, and education, we support deep healing, sovereignty, and cyclical living—bridging soulful care with evidence-informed practice.
