A midwife on a mission to revolutionise maternity care in Mackay, Chris Raines founded Generation Her—a service designed to give women the personalised, compassionate support they deserve at every stage of their reproductive journey.
As a private midwife, Chris provides everything from family planning and pre-conception support to pregnancy, postnatal care, breastfeeding guidance, and birth debriefing. With the ability to write prescriptions, order tests, and refer to specialists, she ensures women receive comprehensive, individualised care—not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
Her philosophy? When women thrive, society thrives. That belief extends beyond the clinic. Chris is passionate about health and wellbeing, balancing modern medicine with lifestyle choices. She walks daily, follows a vegetarian diet, and even brews her own calming herbal tea to keep stress in check.
Outside of work, celebrations are serious business. Whether it’s Christmas, birthdays, or International Midwives Day, Chris plans well in advance—Christmas shopping starts in June, and no event is complete without cake.
Adventure is also in her DNA. Having travelled from Cape York to Kangaroo Island, she’s lived in almost every state, first as a solo traveller and now with her family. At home, she, her husband and two children share their lives with two rescue pets—Evie the dog and Pandora the cat, both cherished members of their “adopt, don’t shop” household.
Whether she’s supporting women birthing babies or organising midwifery conferences, Chris Raines is all about supporting women, one thoughtful step at a time.
