You want to birth your precious baby naturally, peacefully, and powerfully.
You want to mother gently and intuitively, as nature intended.
And you want motherhood to be the most expansive, nourishing and beautiful experience of your life.
You’re getting information and advice hurled at you from every direction – and most of it’s confusing, contradictory, and out of alignment with how you want to live and mother.
The only stories you’re hearing are ones of trauma, overwhelm and exhaustion.
But through all that noise, a quiet voice whispers from somewhere deep inside you: there must be a better way.
I have a PhD in Aboriginal history, I worked for the best part of a decade as an oral historian with Aboriginal communities, and I spent a few years as a Senior Researcher with government.
Now?
I direct my research expertise and insatiable appetite for learning towards the problem that obsesses me: how to change the world for the better for mothers, babies and the earth.
I've trained as a Dynamo Doula, I’ve studied with legendary grandmother of the birth world, Jane Hardwicke Collings, and I’m a certified Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Provider.
Fair to say I’m addicted to learning.
That means that everything I teach, I practice. Everything that I offer comes from my own lived experience. I’m right there where you are, mama. And I see you, because I am you.
Through my teaching and mentorship, I’ve helped mamas just like you to experience their birth and mothering journey as a source of profound healing, expansion and power.
I live on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, cradled between the beautiful Illawarra escarpment and the ocean.
I spend my days mothering, gardening, cooking, crafting, thinking, reading and writing.
I’m happiest when I’m pottering at home with my border collie Dug, my children Ned and Cedar, and my partner Kane.
I dream about one day buying a bit of land somewhere in the country with an old farmhouse and sprawling gardens full of herbs and flowers, where I can raise my babies and care-take the land. I can’t imagine anything more healing.
