Providing support through pregnancy is a big passion of mine and I love sharing how acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can be supportive during this time.

Many of us come with deep-seated ideas about healthcare, the power of women, what family means, where we hold community, and how we love. My passion is to dovetail all those elements with evidence-based midwifery practice, and sometimes be a little goofy in the process.

I believe childbirth education is such an essential part of birthing people having an empowered and positive birth experience, so I feel excited and honoured to be a part of that knowledge sharing at MAMA.

I am particularly passionate about postnatal care and breastfeeding support, and love supporting families through the magic and challenges of the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Supporting someone through pregnancy, then checking their newborn, and continuing to care for them as they grow is truly special. Being part of families’ journeys at every age and stage is something I value deeply. 

I had a sense, the way children do about things, that birth - and the bonds formed at birth - hold all the most important secrets about our world. I also sensed I would never be at my happiest unless worked with women and babies. I now know both of these to be true. 

I love educating and talking to families about how to care for their families. I'm passionate about making the class realistic and actionable steps you can apply in your every day life.

Information on parenting is constantly evolving, and delivery of content will change depending on the participants who attend the class, and the current research.

I’m passionate about creating class content & organising workshops that inspire people to lead with curiosity and learn something new that hopefully brings them a sense of ease or excitement.

When women and families feel empowered, they’re more likely to report positive birth experiences and that’s what I want for every person I support.

I have worked in the birth arena for over forty-five years, attending births, educating countless birthing women and their partners, also offering counselling and birth debriefing. 

What I love most about my role is to support new families in the rollercoaster of (preparing for) postpartum. To give them knowledge, skills, hope and support, to achieve their goals and even more important to feel heard, seen and supported in this intense time.

I especially love facilitating some of the free feeding drop-in sessions that run twice weekly, they are such a great opportunity for women to seek some general advice and support from an IBCLC and meet other mothers.

There is so much in the traditional hospital and birthing system that is missing, misunderstood or stacked against the mother and I feel so lucky to be able to contribute to the evidence-based, women-centred practice at MAMA.

I am passionate about being able to support our team of midwives, lactation consultants and allied health practitioners – they all do such important work and to be able to support them is very rewarding.

I love getting to know clients over the course of their pregnancy to then meet their gorgeous little humans!  

I love organising, and I absolutely love to help and support people. My role at MAMA helps me do both, and it feels so rewarding!

It’s a privilege to hold space for women, to offer women safe and supportive ways to connect, and to build community in the place I call home. 

Treatment is not one-size-fits-all so I always take the time to learn where my patients are at to be able to provide individualised care.

I love helping parents, and when I see them come into the clinic a couple of months later and they look like parenting professionals, it's nice to think that maybe I had a hand in supporting their journey.
