ABOUT ME
Midwife, mum, educator, and birth advocate
“My mission is that women enjoy their pregnancy, approach birth with calm confidence, and experience a postpartum filled with rest, restoration, and connection.”
I’m a mum to two beautiful boys — Tallow and Jax — and partner to my wonderful husband Nelson. I’ve worked as a Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse, and HypnoBirthing Practitioner for over a decade.
My love for birth began more than 15 years ago when I witnessed my first birth as a student nurse. That moment changed everything. Since then, I’ve spent years supporting families through pregnancy, labour and postpartum — and I’ve had the privilege of experiencing two empowering water births of my own.
(You can read their stories HERE and HERE or listen to both HERE)
I worked for many years in Emergency Nursing before completing my Diploma of Midwifery, and have since blended both fields to support families from early pregnancy through to birth and beyond.
WHY I TEACH
Because birth works — and women deserve to understand that
Midwifery taught me that birth is normal, physiological, and beautifully designed. But the reality many women face is fear, uncertainty, and a healthcare system that often leans heavily on intervention.
I believe education changes everything.
When families understand:
✔ how birth works
✔ their options
✔ the evidence
✔ the role of physiology
✔ and how to support the body…
…they make empowered decisions and experience greater birth satisfaction — no matter what their birth looks like.
My passion is helping families rewrite the story of birth:
from fear → to understanding
from uncertainty → to confidence
from overwhelm → to empowerment
I want the next generation to grow up hearing birth stories filled with strength, joy, and power — not fear. And it starts with you.
