As a Mum I’ve given birth three times. Each was a different and unique experience, all in their own ways tough and challenging - but also incredible.

My first birth resulted in a Caesarean, and my next two births were VBACs. I chose to have a doula on my birth team for my second and third births and I experienced, first-hand, the value that a doula can offer.

My first doula - a wonderful and highly experienced practitioner - wasn’t available for my third birth, so I found and engaged with an emerging doula. She had an equally positive impact on my birth.

Both women helped me and my partner feel hugely supported. They provided pertinent information and new ideas - and were, literally, an extra set of hands to give me much needed physical support during labour.

I decided to become a doula myself and studied with the Australian Doula College.

Since completing my doula certification I’ve continued to study and explore new ideas by taking a range of trainings and workshops. One area of focus has been Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) and Spinning Babies, providing me with knowledge to support Mothers to create balance and space in their body to help allow babies to get into a good position for birth.

I love working with families of all shapes and sizes including Solo Mums by choice; Families with Disabilities; Same-Sex couples and Surrogate families - as well as Mothers having their next birth after a caesarean section (VBAC / NBAC). Whether you’re giving birth in a hospital, birth centre or at home - I’d love to support you.
