About Me
I found this beautiful world after my youngest started primary school and I felt like I had the time and space to explore what exactly I wanted to be when I grew up. I found it, guys. I bloody found it. Speaking of kids - I have two of them and they’re just about the best things I’ve ever witnessed in my stinking life. They’re 10 & 16 now - and I tell ya what, teenage years are SOMETHING ELSE. I’ll tell you all about it if you’re labouring and want a distraction, ha! Helping me make (and keep alive) those legends is my hunk of a husband. He’s clever and creative and supportive and spectacular at balancing me out. We married young and we still really like each other.
So, what type of doula am I?
There was a time where birth doulas were all pretty similar. In fact if you talk to some people now, they still have that view. Alternative, flowy dresses, dangly earrings (I do like a dangle in my ear, not gonna lie - that sounded dirtier than I meant it to), saging your house and removing evil spirits from your birth space. I love a ‘woowoo’ doula and they are most definitely needed for certain birthing families. Me? I ain’t it. I have a pretty good balance at 100% believing in you and your innate ability to birth your baby, while being practical and down to earth. I love education and making sure you feel informed. I have a strong passion for supporting you in hospital birth and helping you to navigate that space, whether you feel confident already, or whether you feel a bit overwhelmed and lost. I also absolutely love home birth and the honour that comes with entering your private, intimate space and being a part of your home birthing team.
- Down to earth practical & emotional support: tears, laughter, and the honest, messy, beautifully human moments...I’m here for it all. I’m a safe, trusted presence for both you & your partner.
- Evidence based education: to leave you feeling not just informed, but genuinely excited for birth.
- Hospital know-how: helping you navigate the system, making sure every staff member is on Team You.
- Advocacy with heart: I’ll speak up when needed, or cheer wildly when you do.
- Partner support: guiding, reassuring (“yep, totally normal”) and making sure they feel just as held.
- Your birth side cheerleader: suggesting positions and stretches for comfort and progress, keeping you fueled & hydrated, and being a steady, calm presence for whatever you need in the mo
