First and foremost, I am the mother of two spirited boys and the wife of a wonderful, thoughtful man, Shaun. We live on the Mornington Peninsula and couldn’t imagine raising our family anywhere else.

Becoming a mother changed me in ways I never expected. In 2019, Shaun and I welcomed our first son. I felt completely untethered - disconnected from myself, from the people I love and from the world around me. That’s when I learned about matrescence - the profound transformation of becoming a mother.

In 2021, while in the middle of a lockdown, I birthed my second son only weeks after my father passed away. These were some of the hardest weeks of my life: navigating grief, recovering from a challenging birth and getting to know my little boy. Once the dust settled, I began to heal and found my rhythm as a mother of two.

During that time, an intense desire emerged, one that I could not shake. I wanted to support families through these life changing transitions, helping them to stay connected to each other, to themselves and to their own intuition. It is now my honour to do this work as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, supporting families whether it’s their first child or their third.
