Guided by heart-centred care, contemporary science and on-going trainings, I integrate birth + postpartum education, full spectrum doula services and western herbal medicine + nutritional guidance to support and nourish your reproductive and parenting journey for whole family wellbeing. I am also currently training to be a Nurtured Neuroscience Practitioner to support connected parenting and Integrative Infant Sleep.

My wish is that all mothers, babies and parents experience exceptional care and support through this significant time. Growing babies and caring for them is physically, emotionally and mentally demanding work! Too many women and birthing people experience varied mental/health challenges and a lack of continuity of care during this crucial time. My care and skillset aspire to help remedy this sociocultural issue and promote the thriving of families by filling in gaps of support.

​

What is a doula? A doula provides non-medical, physical, emotional and spiritual support, unbiased information + education, along with mind/body resilience building strategies to prospective parents during conception, pregnancy, childbirth and the post-natal period. As a full-spectrum doula I provide care for people through abortion, loss and family structures of all kinds. I support clients to make empowered choices, guide them with personal preparation and provide education to build agency and autonomy, alongside presence during labor and postnatally. My postpartum care is rooted in traditional principles with a core focus on healing foods, touch and herbals, alongside emotional support and resourcing.

I am training within a Birthing From Within framework as a Childbirth Mentor which focuses on both the internal and external preparation of matrescence, birth and parenting. I am passionate about building community for expectant parents and honoring this transformation with art and ritual. My approach is rooted in the most current research on birth physiology, attachment and matrescence.

​

As a clinical herbalist I have robust training in anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, phytochemistry, microbiology and herbal and nutritional protocols to support diverse health conditions and find greater comfort in the body + mind. My area of interest is in the childbearing continuum - from pre-conception through to postnatal health and pediatric herbalism. I am a real herb and food nerd and work through a functional and integrative lens which celebrates the diversity in bodies and a tailored, compassionate approach to health care.

I offer in person services in Bellingen, Coffs Habour and surrounds + Online Services around the world, and work in a trauma-informed, inclusive and culturally humble way.
