Hi, I’m Mel Howells — founder of Serene Births, where we offer practical, evidence-based birth classes in Perth, Western Australia.
At Serene Births, our mission is simple: to provide high-quality, supportive education that helps expectant parents feel informed, confident, and empowered as they prepare for birth and beyond.
My journey into birth work began back in 2008, when I trained as a midwife in the UK. After relocating to Australia in 2012, I worked in early childhood education — but my passion for pregnancy and birth never left. In 2022, I brought that passion to life by launching Serene Births: a space where Perth families can access independent, reliable, and down-to-earth antenatal education.
