About Me
My why is rooted in my own journey through motherhood, shaped by two very different births, and everything they asked of me.
During my second pregnancy, as I prepared for a VBAC, I found myself diving deep into books, podcasts, and research. That’s when I came across doulas, not as something alternative, but as a normal part of birth support. The more I learned, the more sense it made. Women have always needed companionship throughout pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
Support from a doula isn’t about being saved, it’s about being resourced. It’s an act of reclamation, a way to enter birth feeling confident. Your dream birth is worth striving for, and even when plans change, the experience can still be positive when you’re informed, supported, and cared for.
I completed my doula training through Childbirth International, and I’m also a university-qualified counsellor. My professional background includes over a decade of experience working with families, first as a nanny supporting families with newborns and young children, and later through counselling and education. That experience expanded my understanding of family dynamics, attachment, and what meaningful in-home support looks like. I can integrate naturally into a household and start caring for a family right where they’re at.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in awareness and respect for the many ways women experience motherhood. Safety, trust, and choice are what allow women to feel truly supported and emotionally safe.
I’m also endlessly curious about what’s actually evidence-based in modern maternity care. I see evidence as a tool for empowerment, helping women advocate for themselves with confidence while still honouring their intuition. Because science, the instinct, the knowledge, and the knowing can all coexist!
I support families across the Redlands, Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, and Gold Coast regions, and I also offer virtual support for women outside this area.
With love always,
