Our story

Every life has an origin.

A first heartbeat. A first decision to try. A first appointment, made with hope and a little fear.

We named this place Origia because that's what it holds space for: not just the origin of a pregnancy, but the origin of a woman becoming a mum, a man becoming a dad, a new chapter in whatever shape it takes.

Fertility and obstetric care don't happen in isolation, so we didn't build a clinic that treats them that way. Whatever brings you here, you'll be met by people who have time for the whole of it.

What we do

Women's health care for every stage, in one place

Medical care from specialists who have done this thousands of times, and allied care from practitioners who work in the same building and talk to each other. You shouldn't have to project-manage your own health.

The arc of care

Your journey, with us the whole way

Preconception

A couple standing close together, arms around each other

Before you start trying

The quiet, unglamorous work of getting your body and your questions in order: cycle tracking, screening, and an honest conversation about what's ahead.

Fertility & IVF

A calm consulting room with two chairs facing each other

When it takes longer than you hoped

Investigation that actually explains something, then a plan: ovulation induction, IUI or IVF, with naturopathic and psychological support alongside it, not instead of it.

Pregnancy

Once you're expecting

Shared antenatal care with your obstetrician, your midwife and, if you want them, your doula and physiotherapist, all in the one building, all reading the same notes.

Birth

Meeting your baby

Your birth, planned the way you want it and supported by people who already know you. We work with your choices rather than around them.

Beyond

The fourth trimester, and after

Recovery is care too. Pelvic floor physiotherapy, postpartum doula support, psychology, and a gynaecologist who is still yours for the decades that follow.

Wherever you are in it, you don't have to work it out alone.

How we work

Not a referral list. A village.

Under one roof, we've brought together obstetrics, gynaecology and fertility medicine with the nurses, midwives and doulas who walk beside you day to day, and the psychologists, acupuncturists, women's physiotherapists, naturopaths and medical-grade skin specialists who care for the rest of you while your body does the hardest, most extraordinary work it will ever do.

This is what we mean by whole-person care. It means your obstetrician knows you've been seeing our psychologist. It means your physiotherapy appointment can sit alongside your antenatal visit. It means you tell your story once.

  • One roof, one story

    Medical and allied care in the same building, with your consent to share what matters between us. No repeating yourself at every new appointment.

  • Time to be heard

    Appointments built around a conversation, not a conveyor belt. If something has been dismissed before, we want to hear about it properly.

  • Evidence, explained plainly

    Clear guidance about what's known, what isn't, and what's realistic for you, so decisions feel like yours rather than something that happened to you.

  • Care for the whole arc

    From the months before trying to the years after birth, and through everything women's health covers in between. We don't discharge you at the end of a chapter.

In their words

Birth stories from our doula clients

Stories about doula support, shared by families Vanessa Salerno has worked with through pregnancy, birth and the weeks after. Doula care sits alongside your medical care, never in place of it.

We had so many zoom sessions and they were informative and put my mind at ease. I went from being scared of the process to feeling empowered and ready.
