For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by all things belly, birth and baby. After many years spent nuturing my “inner doula” as I supported friends and relatives through their birth journeys, I completed my training in 2007 and began supporting women and their families in and around Brisbane.

I’ve supported couples, single mums and same sex partners birthing in almost every public and private hospital in Brisbane. I also support homebirths with a midwife in attendance.

The births of my own babes, Emily and Toby, changed me in ways I could never have imagined. Their birth experiences led me to an innate understanding of the value of a positive birth for everyone in the family – mum, dad and baby. For us, early parenthood was a calmer, more positive time when we both began the journey feeling nurtured and strong.

Birthing your baby can be one of the most profound experiences you ever have, and the memory of it will stay with you always. Your baby and your family deserve the best possible beginning.
