Music, it has a way of reaching into our very soul, to our core.

Music, it has a way of making tough moments easier, and joyful moments more joyful.

Music, it creates calm, anticipation, gets the body moving, and relaxes us - depending on what you need it for!

If you speak with anyone who knows me, .official and their front man are a long standing love affair (or obsession, depending on who you ask!) In my world of music.

I will take *almost* any opportunity to see them live, but it the whole band in the pub rock scene of places like The Corner Hotel in Richmond, Tim solo or with the support of artists like Ollie Thorpe at the Piano Bar in Ballarat, or when they really pull out all the stops and collaborate in a completely magical way with The Sydney Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney State Theatre (as in the video) - im there!

They are a constant presence on my music play list. They calm me, and make me laugh and sing outloud.

Whether singing about Making Hamburgers, former PM's and Bushranger, wanting the world to Blow Up The Pokies (can we), songs about sad men or lines like "she was one in a million, so there's five more just in New South Wales" - there is always something there for me.

Music, can make our tough moments disappear, and they make our celebrations brighter and more intense.

Music just hits the soul.

In this world of diverse an plentiful music, who the artist, band or singer you go to, to be in yoir happy place?

We learn the rules, we follow them.

Then something changes, and suddenly we have to put out more of our resources for what we thought we were already getting for the resources we had provided.

Whether these resources are money, time, emotional, relational, or psychological

IVF really can feel like someone is shouting "no soup for you".

Whether it's not the number of eggs you hoped for, not as high a fertilisation rate, no embryos, or no pregnancy after a transfer.

It leaves us feeling overwhelmed and confused about what we did "right or wrong".

If youre feeling your own "no soup for you" moment, reach out for supports, someone, including someone like myself, is always here to help you navigate these overwhelming moments, and reduce the confusion and overwhelm in future treatment cycles.

IVF, and particularly the longer youre in it, the more confusing and overwhelming it seems to become.

Your head seems to whip around, and not be able to focus on what's going on before you.

You count the numbers - of days, weeks, months, injections, cycles and appointments - but inevitably lose track.

Sometimes we need to take the car (or the train) off the tracks, slow down and breathe.

Pauses feel hard, but sometimes its what the system needs.

Psychological and emotional support is also incredibly helpful, but far too often overlooked.

If you feel like you're world is flying past you, and the numbers are out of control, reach out for help or take a pause.

I couldn't help myself!!

Usually I dont go for the ChatGPT drawing world, but I thought I would see what it would do!

It needed a little prompting to get rid of some interesting aspects of its own interpretation (like the egg on the right having a baby in it, and stork 🤦‍♀️)

Overall it's a pretty good representation of what I do professionally. And I dont have any extra fingers, which is unusual for AI.

Most importantly, can we just give a hell yeah for the chair?

And anyone know someone who can design and make we one in real life???

I often recieve questions about who I do and dont see.

The short answer is I honestly will meet with most people, irrespective of what going on in your life, and no the reason for seeing me doesn't necessarily need to be related to infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy and baby loss, family building or anything else in the reproductive space.

Rather, do you think id be a good fit for you?

I love working in the reproductive psychology space, but challenges in pregnancy and fertility dont reside in a vacuum, and sometimes they are a big part of our challenges and sometimes minimal or none.

So while this is my area of interest and further training in psychology, at the heart of all I do supporting humans through tough spaces, wanting to make changes and coming out the otherside.

And yes, if you have seen me before, and need a few extra sessions, you are ALWAYS welcome back!

02/02/2026

Finally routine back!! After 7 weeks of holidays, it's back to usual routine.

Slight changes to opening hours and availability this year, swapping to working Monday rather than Wednesday for 2026, but no significant changes to hours outside of that!

Other than that, you'll find me at the same location in person, or on your screen as per usual for telehealth!

27/01/2026

I do some crazy things for professional development, typically it's around time zones!

So here I am embarking on the Perinatal Crisis & Beyond 10 month training.

Enhancing my skills around perinatal and reproductive trauma, along with EMDR, to be able to work more effectively across all experiences which can arise in the perinatal and reproductive period, to support all those people with the experiences.

3 hours once a month, at the unsociable starting hours between 1 & 3am Ballarat time. This month I showed up live, might not happen every month, but that's also ok!

Good things come in pairs!

And what better way to be a pair, when you both champion family building, want to see better things for all people wanting to have children.

And most importantly share a birthday!!

Happy Birthday , and to me too!! Couldn't think of a better person to share a birthday with!!

Another year around the sun, cant speak for Sarah, but I'm definitely older, maybe wiser, but certainly a lot louder in what I believe and champion! 😆😆

Second photo, pretty sure it's not Rhylee West's birthday, but I did get my photo with him this morning!!

I've snuck out of the office for another week this week, escaped Victoria and headed to South Australia for a few days.

Sea, sand, hills, wine, boats, rivers, and more Haighs chocolate than might be necessary (but totally worth it!)

I also thought if I was going to buy book, best place to do so was Dymock's in Rundle Mall, where she launched it! Now to get stuck into it in the coming weeks!

Im back on deck next week, all afternoons, and then regular work hours (almost) post Australia day.

PS I could very easily be convinced to move to Adelaide!

How amazing are these t-shirts?!

From the Australian page and raising funds to combat violence against women and gender diverse people.

Super comfortable, great message and brilliant cause!

And, even more brilliant, one of the flowers on the shirt was drawn by someone I have had the pleasure and privilege of supporting over the past few years through their fertility and family building.
