You shouldn’t have to fight/survive the maternity system alone. Step inside the inner circle.
The Assembly of Rebellious Midwives is your all-access professional sanctuary. Get everything you need to provide brilliant, evidence-based care—without the burnout.
You already know the system is broken.
If you feel like a round peg in a square hole, or a black sheep in a field of white, you are in the right place.
Most maternity care systems promote medicalised, fear-based, policy-centered care. You know what it feels like to be frustrated and mentally exhausted as you constantly navigate between truly supporting women and fulfilling your obligations to a fragmented system.
Pushing back against the status quo takes a massive toll on your energy. It shouldn't be this hard to provide evidence-based care.
What if you didn't have to go it alone?
We believe evidence-based, woman-centered care is possible and deeply worth the effort. But creating systemic change is impossible in isolation.
The Assembly is a safe, supportive community of Midwives, Labour & Delivery Nurses, and Obstetricians working together. By sharing our wisdom, debriefing our hardest cases, and honing our clinical skills in a collaborative space. Together we are becoming so good they cannot ignore us.

Hi, I'm Dr. Melanie Jackson
I knew the system was broken since my first year as a student midwife back in 2008. The hospital was policy-dominated and research was rarely used to inform practice.
I am a rebellious midwife because I am dedicated to providing woman-centered, evidence-based maternity care. But more importantly, I am on a mission to help you do the same without burning out.
Change starts with us... let's do it together. I am deeply present and invested in The Assembly, and I am ready to welcome you in.
FAQs
Can I join the assembly if I am not a Midwife?
Can I use The Assembly as part of my continuing professional development (CPD)?
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Can I contact someone to ask my questions?
We always connect at The Convergence
My favourite time of the year is The Convergence. It's essentially the weekend away for all the midwives in The Assembly and their friends.
We laugh, cry, dance, drink, and have lots of hugs.
This is where we hang out while we learn in person. I don't want anyone in The Assembly to miss out on this experience.
It's not just a conference, this is our trip away together.
When you sign up you will automatically be offered o get your ticket to The Convergence with your $200 discount applied. You can take it up then, or you can grab the coupon code I email you later and get your ticket in a month or two (as long as it doesn't sell out in the mean time).
I want to personally invite you to The Convergence. Assembly midwives love the Convergence. It is designed for them.
Come and join us, I will save you and extra special hug and a space on the dance floor.
I've put some images below in case you have never been.
