I am an Adelaide Obstetrician & Gynaecologist with special interests in Obstetrics and ultrasound.

I am excited to be focusing on my passions of Obstetrics and Ultrasound. My rooms are based out of the Ashford Medical Centre, only a few short steps from the Ashford Delivery Suites. I offer longer appointments and focus on engagement and communication. I am able to offer dating, reassurance and low risk growth scans in my rooms. I continue to offer Specialist ultrasound services at Adelaide Women's Imaging. My Background:
A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, with special interests in Obstetrics and Ultrasound, I completed my medical degree at the University of Adelaide in 2002. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Brisbane where I worked at Mater Mothers Hospital while completing my specialist training at several hospitals throughout Queensland. Given an opportunity to broaden my experience further, I returned to Adelaide working in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, it was during this time I was awarded my Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Having a strong passion for this field of work, I am currently undertaking my Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound while continuing to provide Specialist Medical Ultrasound services at Adelaide Women’s Imaging. As a mum of two, I always strive to deliver the very best outcome for mother and baby.

Third Baby Births: Expect the Unexpected 😅

You’d think by baby #3, parents have seen it all. And they have! But third babies? They didn’t get the memo.

——

Spent today with an amazing third-time mum in labour ward.

Her first two babies? Came relatively quickly. She knew what to expect, had her rhythm down, felt confident.

Baby #3? Decided to take the scenic route.

All. Day. Long.

Her: “I really thought I knew how my body does this…”

Me: “You do! But this little one is just writing their own story. It takes how long it takes.”

We walked the room together. Chatted between contractions. Waited. She handled it like the absolute champion she is, even though this wasn’t what she expected.

The thing about third babies? They’re wonderfully unpredictable. Just when parents think they’ve figured out their pattern, baby #3 says “actually, let’s try something completely different.”

And honestly? That’s exactly what keeps this job interesting and humbling for all of us. Every birth is unique, even when it’s your third time around. 💙

Last night, 400 guests came together at SkyCity for the StillAware 2025 Gala, raising an incredible $216,207 towards stillbirth awareness, education, and prevention. 💫
It was an honour to speak as a guest presenter, sharing my own experience of stillbirth alongside my perspective as an obstetrician caring for families through this devastating loss. We discussed the critical importance of empowering families with practical knowledge - recognizing warning signs, advocating for their babies, and accessing evidence-based stillbirth prevention strategies.
Our entire team was there supporting this vital cause, and everyone looked amazing!
A highlight of the evening was a groundbreaking announcement: the SA State Government will recommend the rollout of StillAware’s Safer Pregnancy packs to ALL pregnant women in South Australia, Safe Bubba brochures for our First Nations communities, and fund resources in multiple languages for our non-English speaking community members.
Pictured with Claire Foord, founder of Still Aware, and Olivia Savvas MP , State Member for Newland and Chair of the Select Committee into Stillbirth - two incredible advocates driving real change.
Together, we can reduce preventable stillbirth. Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters who make this work possible.

You know that feeling when you’re doing exactly what you were put on this earth to do?

The Japanese call it ikigai — your reason for being. That intersection where what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what sustains you all meet.

I’ve found mine.

Being an obstetrician isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. There’s something profound about walking alongside women during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. The vulnerability, the strength, the raw beauty of bringing new life into the world.

Even at 3am when I’m called in for a delivery, even on the challenging days, even when I’m exhausted — there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not always easy. But it feels right. And that matters.

To every woman who has trusted me with their care: thank you. You remind me every day why I chose this path.

Have you found your ikigai? What makes you feel like you’re in the right place? 💭

Let’s talk about the 20-week anatomy scan! 🔍
This is one of THE most important ultrasounds of your pregnancy. Yes, we can usually tell you baby’s s*x, but that’s honestly the least important part!
Here’s what we’re really looking for:
✨ Brain development and skull structure
✨ Heart chambers and major vessels
✨ Spine alignment
✨ Kidneys and bladder function
✨ All four limbs and fingers/toes
✨ Abdominal organs
✨ Placenta position
✨ Amniotic fluid levels
✨ Cervical length
This scan takes 30-45 minutes because we’re checking EVERYTHING to make sure baby is developing properly. If we find anything concerning, we can create a care plan early.
And yes… after all that important stuff, we’ll tell you if you’re having a boy or girl 💙💗
Questions about your anatomy scan? Drop them below!

OB/GYN at 160/95: ‘START MAG, GET AN OR READY, SOMEONE PAGE NICU’ 🚨🚨🚨
Cardiology at 160/95: ‘Eh, could be worse. Here’s a beta blocker, see you next year’
Internal Medicine at 160/95: ‘Let’s recheck it in 3 months’
ED at 160/95: ‘Congratulations, that’s below average for our waiting room’
POV: The preeclampsia panic hits different when you’re growing a human 😅

Welcome earthside, baby Finn! 💙
It was such an honor to be part of Ashley’s journey to motherhood. Watching her navigate pregnancy with such grace, strength, and intentionality has been truly inspiring.
Ashley, you showed up to every appointment prepared, asked all the right questions, and made decisions with so much confidence and love for Finn. The way you’ve built your village and planned for this moment shows what an incredible mom you already are.
Finn is one lucky little guy to have you, and I can’t wait to watch him grow!
Congratulations to you both on this beautiful new chapter 🤍

The most wonderful postnatal visit with Tammy and baby Connor! 💕

There’s something truly special about caring for families I’ve known for years. While this is Tammy and Michael’s second child, I had the honor of delivering baby Connor - my first time being part of their birth story. Seeing them welcome this new addition to their family has been such a privilege.

Tammy arrived with the most gorgeous, vibrant flowers that absolutely brightened my day - though little Connor was definitely the star of the show! 🌸

These moments remind me why I love what I do. From the first prenatal visit to holding their precious newborn, being part of these life-changing moments never gets old.

Wishing this beautiful family all the love and joy as they navigate these early days with their little one.
