I LOVE my work

I believe that birthing and parenting work is the MOST important work ON EARTH! (for humans, all life and the environment)

I am happy to confidentally recommend myself.

After 14 years specialising within my field, I am confident, skilled and experienced in my birth career.

I can use programs flexibly and write my OWN programs too. As I teach I weave in the wisdoms my hundreds of mentors, role models, experts, that are, midwives, OBs and birth experts, from around the world.

As a counsellor and Birth Doula, I am wise, calm and skilled.

I am here to support you to achieve your needs, wants and desires!

I listen to your thoughts, beliefs, feelings and I am curious to hear more.

Local Mum: "If only I had met you for my first birth".... I hear this all the time and I can hear the womans' grief. But the good news is, it is NEVER too late to heal from birth, or to shape your upcoming birth to be positive.
