Kia ora and welcome to my page!
I am a Mum of 3 boys aged 18, 10 and 6, and married to my husband Kyle.
I am a qualified Pregnancy, Childbirth and Early Parenting Educator. I work as a Doula and also as a Counsellor with a special interest in Birth Trauma. For the past few years, I have been teaching parents throughout Waitemata in my roles as an Educator for Onewa Parents Centre, North Shore Hospital and Waitakere Hospital.
For as long as I can remember, I have been called into the birthing space and work intuitively, walking alongside parents through an educational and advocacy role, a physical and emotional support role, and a therapeutic role as needed.
My belief is that there are no right or wrong decisions in birth, but the most important part is that you are supported to make the decisions that feel right for you. Setting you up for a positive birth experience involves looking at your values and beliefs about birth and building a support team that will walk alongside you, on the same page.
Through my various hats, I help to resource you with the information that you need to make the decisions that feel right for you.
