I have been fascinated by all things birth since I discovered the book “Where Do Babies Come From” when I was about 6 years old. I had always loved hearing my mother’s 4 birth stories also. I find that caring for women and providing them with a safe, loving and empowering birth space and pregnancy journey comes naturally to me. I don’t think there is anything more powerful than watching a woman rock her birth- however that may be.

My passion for midwifery, however, was sparked while growing up (literally) within my mother’s community midwifery business. Though I have been living in Melbourne since 2007, I’m always drawn back to these roots and continue to work alongside the team at My Midwives Shepparton and Echuca. I am a strong believer in the benefits of one-to-one midwifery care and wish to help integrate this model as affordable mainstream primary care for all families. I am passionate in empowering all women to have the best birth possible by making informed decisions. I have a special interest in water birth.
