Meet our MAMA Team

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.

To be given an opportunity to work with families surrounded by the team at MAMA, alongside incredibly caring, professional, and respectful healthcare providers is a dream job that I am so very grateful for. 

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.

My biggest passion (especially after birthing my daughter) is in women-centred care. 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 looking towards the future of MAMA and private midwifery practice with gratitude. I am honoured to take the reins of my ‘first baby’ again and I am so grateful for the wonderful team at MAMA as we seek to support more positive transitions to parenthood for more families across Victoria.

I have been a midwife for over 20 years and love it. The birth of my first son inspired me to become the midwife I am. To this day I remember my midwife and the impact she has had on my life- I want to be that support for other families. 

I am passionate about creating a space where mothers and birthing people feel truly held, informed, and confident to make choices that are right for them.

I believe that women and birthing people can meet their most fierce and empowered selves through birth, and that the love, care and safety of a known midwife can be an integral person in achieving this.

Being the mother of three homebirthed children, I am passionate about women knowing their choices and feeling empowered to make the right decision for themselves.

I love witnessing families journey from our first appointment together, through their births and postpartum and seeing the incredible transformation that occurs. Not just for the woman/birthing person and their baby, but for those important to them.

MAMA allows midwifery to be practiced in a way that midwifery should be practiced. I am passionate about providing woman-centred, individualised care and that is exactly what MAMA is all about.

I love holding space and witnessing the deep transformative shifts that often unfold throughout a pregnancy, during birth, and during the tender postpartum time.

After having 3 very different birth experiences myself, I can appreciate the individual journeys other women embark and support them through their own.

One of my favourite things about midwifery is witnessing pregnant people connect with their bodies on a whole new level, step into their power, and realise their innate strength.

The part about MAMA that is most special to me is the team here.  These are some of the best midwives around and I love that if I can't make it to a birth for any reason the women that I care about will be looked after beautifully by one of my team members.
