Birthing in 2026? I’d LOVE to get you feeling less fear and more I CAN do this!! Swipe across for dates 👉🏼👉🏼

Join me for my one day birth class at the beautiful in Ballarat with a lovely little group of couples from 9-4:30pm and we will cover allll the birthy goodness plus the postpartum prep to get you prepping and planning!

My classes are a pretty unique combo of birth biomechanics (biased yes, but also honest!) think pelvic prep and troubleshooting for birth, skills like massage, counter pressure, movement, acupressure, breathe and mindset, plus how to practically apply all your tools to your labour & birth

+ The partner prep your partner didn’t know they needed so they have got you on the day and can be the advocate you need

+ All birth scenarios so you can still feel in charge however things play out

+ Access to my online course to look back and refresh whenever you need & access to me for any resources or questions

When should you be doing Your Birth Class? Ideally anytime from 28-34wks - but it’s never to early or late and always better to go in prepared VS ‘going with the flow’

You can find out more, DM for a chat or book on my website which is all accessible through that hard working link in my bio 😊

This year has brought the space to really lean into my business and integrate new and existing knowledge.. It’s been so beautiful to bring it all together with Acuneedling + Internal Pelvic Release care - which also sprinkles into my birth classes and physical prep for birth!

Often we forget to celebrate and acknowledge just how much we’ve done or been through each year, and I wanted to look back a little and celebrate 🥳

Mostly throughout all my services - my fave thing is the connecting, and helping those I see connect with themselves and their bodies, feel better, more prepared and learn about how birth CAN be, as something that has huge potential to help you feel just how powerful you are - that you have choices and to take charge and own it!

Getting to be part of that huge reframe and to witness that is pretty great!!

I’m excited to keep doing it all, and to hopefully grow the podcast in a way that is also sustainable for me as a solo small biz owner wearing all the hats 😆

Thank you for being here, for listening to the pod, for every like and comment and for sharing what I do with your friends or family.

I’d love to know what you’re celebrating from 2025? However big or small, personal or professional, I’d love you to share them with me ❤️

☀️Sharing for your summer listening, hopefully at the beach or somewhere heavenly - add these to your list if you’re pregnant or supporting someone In the depths of nausea and vomiting OR weighing up who to choose for your pregnancy care and where to birth?

Because while nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is common - there’s a whole lot you CAN do to reduce the suffering or to better manage Hyperemesis

And when it comes to choosing your pregnancy care - it’s one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make - there’s lots to consider that you might not have thought about!

I’ve got you covered in these episodes…

And if you enjoy - I’d love for you to leave me a review or share with the preggy ppl in your life ☀️

How are we all doing? I hope your lead up to Christmas has been filled with SOME moments of slow and rest!

I wanted to share my hours for the next few weeks as we move into holiday mode..

I will be working over Christmas and New Years;

- 24th December - Waitlist only - DM me as I often have cancellations (babies will baby!)
- 31st December - 5pm available
- Back on the 14th Jan - Waitlist

I’ll be taking a little social media break for a couple of weeks so please email me if you have any Q’s or need to get in touch.

AND I’m excited to be adding more hours as of Feb 2026 - with Thursday morning appointments!

Thank you for being here, for every share, like, recommendation to a friend or family member, for being here, following along, commenting and connecting with me and in turn supporting my business and ME, so that I get to do this work that I adore - supporting you.

This year has really felt like a big step in terms of having the space to really put the time and energy into my business, now that my girls are at school. Thank you so much in helping share what I do and in turn filling my classes and appointments.

Wishing you all a beautiful Christmas, positive births and restful supported postpartums xx

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas and having little ones to share it with is SO special and brings me many moments of happy tears with the pure magic of it all..

BUT it can also be a LOT when you’re in the life season of pregnancy and postpartum.

It can mean added pressure, places to be, a longer ‘to do’ list and a whole heap of those sh*tty ‘shoulds’..

So I’ve shared some reminders to help dampen those ‘S’ words when you feel yourself wavering about saying yes to hosting at 39 weeks or bringing anything other than a bag of chips to the family Xmas lunch 😜.. stay strong lovelies, so that you get to enjoy and not be a frazzled hot and resentful mess.. (like I was!) xx

It’s been four weeks since I had a hysterectomy… and it still makes me feel a bit nervous sharing that, and some weird kind of shame..

I think it’s a combo of being in the pregnancy & birth space, alongside the emotional attachment to my uterus, as it grew and housed my beautiful girls, a is/was big part of my ‘womanhood’ I suppose..

But I feel safe in sharing it here to my lovely community and I might not have a whole heap of pregnancy & birth content at the moment, but the lessons I’m learning as I rest and recover are ones that can crossover into postpartum and healing after birth as well.

I really thought I’d learnt to surrender to things better by now - two HG pregnancies, breastfeeding challenges, a chronic illness and just mothering in general!! But here we are, still trying to fight the way things are and feeling frustrated when things aren’t a constant upward trajectory 😆 and my capacity and ability to do the things I feel I ‘should’ be doing are a constant daily battle..

I know rationally that there is SO much internal healing that is happening and that’s why the fatigue is real! But It doesn’t stop those evil ‘shoulds’ creeping up - ‘you should be able to do this by now’ ‘you shouldn’t be so tired after that’ etc.

And I know I felt similarly postpartum to, and in many moments as a mum. So if you only take one thing from this, let’s agree to put the ‘shoulds’ in the bin..

These lessons are as much to remind myself as they are for you, and I’d love you to share yours ❤️ thank you for all the beautiful messages and words as I share this process, I feel so lucky to have you all following along x
