I’d love to show you how you, too, have the ability to enjoy nourishing and caring for your baby.

 

My Background

 

I’m a Midwife and Registered Nurse, with a Graduate Certificate in Child and Family Health Nursing. My studies, combined with professional and personal experiences, have led me to provide an individually tailored approach to working with women and their families, rather than a one size fits most model.

I am married to a wonderfully supportive tradie and we have four beautiful children. They will forever be my greatest achievements.

Matresence

The process of becoming a mother:

Those physical, psychological and emotional changes you go through after the birth of your child now have a name: matresence.

The process of becoming a mother, which anthropologists call “matresence”, has been largely unexplored in the medical community.

I believe that in a world of modern influence, a calm connected approach is often best. I teach my clients how they could make small changes that can help them enhance their enjoyment of their breastfeeding and parenting experience.
