It all began when I became a Breastfeeding Counsellor, volunteering with the Australian Breastfeeding Association for 18 wonderful years. I was also one of the first doulas in Melbourne, supporting many couples through birth and those precious early days. Over the years, I've worn many hats — Calmbirth antenatal educator, peer mentor with the Australasian Birth Trauma Association, Circle of Security parenting facilitator — and have embraced a variety of complementary trainings along the way.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychology (focusing on Children and Families), a Graduate Diploma of Counselling, and I'm currently working towards my Masters in Counselling.

Becoming a mum wasn’t smooth sailing for me — I hit plenty of bumps along the way. What I needed most was someone who truly understood what I was going through, someone who could hold space for me with kindness, no judgment, and genuine support. That experience lit a fire in me, and from there, my life’s work began.

It’s such a privilege to now be a support for others — to walk alongside parents as they find their way, offering encouragement, compassion, and practical tools to help them step into this life-changing chapter with more confidence, joy, and self-belief — even on the tough days.
