I am a Mother, a Naturopath, a Birth Attendant and Natural Fertility Educator. I enjoy supporting my clients from preconception right through to post natal and paediatric care. I work as a Naturopath for Natural Fertility Prescription as well as my own clinic, The Park Orchards Health & Wellbeing Centre. As a Birth Attendant or Doula, I bring a broad range of skills and tools to your birth experience, and will support you to achieve the birth that you want - whatever it may be. I am happy to attend births in public and private hospitals, birthing centres and homes. I love to empower women and their partners and remind them that birth is a natural and amazing process that women's bodies are perfectly designed for. I help women to trust in their ability to work with the intensity of labour, and support them in their transition into motherhood. I provide antenatal support, birth attendance and post natal support to my clients. I offer a free initial consult with potential birth clients, allowing us to meet up and make sure we're on the same page. I then meet with my clients at least twice before their birth to educate and prepare for birth. I am on call 24/7 from 37 weeks, and will attend your birth in its entirety. I generally stay until baby has it's first feed, and then follow up with a post natal visit. Other skills and services: Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, Massage, VBAC Experience, Birth Photography, Preconception Care, Pregnancy Care, Aromatherapy, Placenta Encapsulation, Homeopathic Placenta Remedies, Lactation Support, Huge Lending Library, Dietary/Lifestyle Advice, Counselling & Loads of Moral Support

Edit: WAIT - some of you are making some sense… 10 Luna months = 280 days = up-to 42 week pregnancy. BUT 42 weeks minus 2-3 weeks between Last period and ovulation = 39 weeks of actual pregnancy 4.3weeks per month x 9 = 39 weeks… we are pregnant for 10 Luna months… 39 actual weeks of pregnancy BUT if estimated birth dates are counted from last period to 42 weeks it’s more like 10 calendar months… wait… ok, we are pregnant from 9-10 months depending on how you maths it and your definition of pregnant. What a morning 😆

Sometimes I read stuff I don’t want to. This is that week. This is your reminder that pregnancy is closer to TEN months than 9 months and we don’t deliver our baby we BIRTH them. 42 weeks is a normal term pregnancy
Any book that doesn’t recognise these fundamental basics. Get in the bin. months than 9 months and we don’t deliver our baby we BIRTH them.

The best man.

Honoring Dr. Michel Odent (1930–2025)

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Michel Odent, a visionary who transformed how the world understands birth and breastfeeding.

✨ His gentle wisdom reminded us that mothers’ instincts matter, that birth can be respected, and that breastfeeding is part of a lifelong connection of love.

For decades, he worked closely with La Leche League, speaking at LLL gatherings and advising our LLLI Professional Advisory Board. He always affirmed the gentle continuum from birth to early breastfeeding.

Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. We are deeply grateful for their kindness in remembering La Leche League at this time, a gesture that beautifully reflects the values Dr. Odent dedicated his life to.

Such a wonderful man… one of the very best advocates for women and keeping birthing sacred 💛

We are saddened to hear news of the passing of Michel Odent, whose vision and writing reshaped the way we understand human birth.

Michel Odent reminded us that birth is not a medical procedure to be controlled, but a primal rythm to be respected. He advocated for home-like maternity units, warm water births, protecting the birthing woman's privacy and honouring her instincts, undisturbed contact between mother and newborn; he was among the first to discuss the importance of the microbiome, and question many of the practices that had (and have) become normalised in overmedicalised maternity systems globally.

Michel Odent's legacy lives on in every dimmed, quiet birthing room, and in every midwife his words and work inspired to join our profession.

Thank you, Michel, for your passion, vision and committment to women and newborns.
