Now that you’re here, I will tell you to call me Lou.

I am a proud mother to two spirited little boys and wife to a wonderful, thoughtful man, Shaun.

We live on the Mornington Peninsula and couldn’t imagine raising our family anywhere else.

In 2019 we welcomed our first son into the world, the best day of our lives. I was not prepared for the transition that would take place when I became a mother. I felt completely untethered from myself, the people and the world around me. I wish I had known that the journey of matrescence was in full swing (that word was not in my vocabulary back then!).

In 2021 in the middle of a lockdown, I birthed my second son just three weeks after my father passed away. These were some of the hardest weeks of my life, getting to know my new little person, grieving a loss while also recovering from a challenging birth experience.

Once the dust had settled, I was healing from this time in my life and I was in the groove of being a mother of two, I had an intense desire that I could not shake and that was to support families as they navigate this time in their lives. Supporting them to stay connected to each other, themselves and their intuition as I and my family needed.

I would be honoured to support you and your family through this life changing journey.
