I’m the Mother of one beautiful boy who makes my heart sing, one angel baby, and I’m married to a lovely man who supports me in letting my birth nerd flag fly. I love a bit of dry humour, am addicted reading, and I’m one of those people who is obsessed with their dog. Growing up I lived on the Mornington Peninsula, but am now based in the Frankston area.

I previously worked in a corporate environment and felt so unfulfilled in that space. I’ve always been someone who leads with their heart and wants to nurture everyone. Oddly enough CEO’s don’t want to talk about placentas or natural pain relief - so here I am in the Doula world doing the work that I am so strongly called to. Now, I get to provide all of the emotional and practical support to my Mothers that my heart desires, and I’ve never felt more fulfilled.

Before becoming a Birth & Postpartum Doula I noticed so many women experiencing births that were so far removed from what they wanted, and experiencing things that made them feel unheard and not in control. They would tell me that their postpartums were a rotating door of visitors, confusion about breastfeeding, and feeling invisible. I noticed that birthing women and new Mothers aren’t treated the way they should be - like the most important person in the room!

This is why I became a Doula. I want to support women to birth the way they want to birth, to feel like they are the most important person in the room, to feel heard and supported. I want to set postpartum up for success!  Holding women as they go through the roller coaster of hormones and healing, doing those practical things like getting some meals in the freezer or folding that load of washing that has been sitting there for a week.

I’d love to chat with you about what your dream birth and postpartum looks like!
