How it all began
Since primary school I knew I wanted to help people. Back then, I wasn't sure exactly what this meant. When I was 18, I started studying complementary medicine at university and became confident in nature's healing ability and also in the power of individuals to take responsibility for their health. In 2007 I had the privilege of witnessing my friend give birth to her daughter in her home. I saw the therapeutic benefits of natural therapies and the strength and beauty of a woman in her element. This experience propelled me on a journey to learn all I could about birth. I became a doula in 2008 and two years later was honoured to be initiated into the Birthing From Within philosophy by Pam England when she visited Australia in 2010. This changed my life forever. I now knew how I could help women prepare for the profound rite of passage of giving birth. In 2013, I felt honoured to learn the art and science of placenta encapsulation. I know this amazing service can help ease the incredible transition to motherhood.
I have continued to add many skills to my role as doula. My primary focus is now on nurturing new mothers during their postpartum and providing online holistic antenatal education for couples all over the world.
