My core belief is that woman should be held with respect, love and compassion no matter what her choices are. As a private midwife, it is my role to provide a woman with all of her options explaining the risks and benefits of these and holding space for her as she makes the decision based on this information and her gut instincts/intuition.
I provide homebirth services to women in Moreton Bay, North Brisbane and Sunshine Coast regions from early pregnancy through to 6 weeks postpartum. This service includes a 1:1 breathwork, yoga and relaxation session in pregnancy with the option for more if desired. I also include a Closing of the Bones Ceremony around 5weeks postpartum for all of my clients. For women outside of my midwifery care I offer Birth Debriefing at anytime, even years later and I also offer Closing of the Bones Ceremonies, which can be anytime from 5weeks.
I am also a ‘Temple of She’ Sacral Somatic Therapist offering limited spaces for massage each year with the option to receive this service during your pregnancy (second and third trimester only). I offer both ‘Touch Connection’ massage and ‘Sacral Somatic Sessions’ that encompass the whole body. The Touch Connection Massage is a 2 hour session and the Sacral Somatic Session is for 3 hours, both of these include a full body massage using various types of touch. The offering of a Sacral Somatic Session is only facilitated with your full bodied consent, you can change your mind throughout the session. Both of these sessions include the erogenous zones, including the breasts and bottom (Touch Connection Massage does not include the genital area). Sacral Somatic Sessions are for women only or people who have a Yoni. Please refer to my website for more details about this. From July 2024 I will be offering Kahuna Massage in the Moreton Bay region.
I have previously worked as a Doula and have trained as a HypnoBirth® International Educator, Pregnancy Yoga Instructor and Theta Healing Practitioner. I taught antenatal education for 2.5years in a private midwifery practice and have facilitated both women’s circles and Birth Healing Workshops on the Sunshine Coast.
In my spare time I volunteer for Homebirth QLD as the Membership Secretary and the Big List Coordinator and have facilitated Homebirth QLD’s support groups in Annerley, Albany Creek and Bray Park.
