Ignite You

🎉✨ BIG NEWS! ✨🎉

I’m incredibly proud (and still a little in shock!) to share that I’ve been selected, alongside 10 other amazing local businesses here in Mackay, to receive a business grant to help ignite and accelerate my business journey. 💥

This grant wasn’t just a simple form — the application process was tough, and it pushed me to reflect deeply on my vision, goals, and purpose. But I wasn’t alone 🙌 My beautiful friend Kirstin from Absolutely 4 Kids - Tutoring, Play & Early Learning and I supported each other through the entire process, and we’re both now celebrating getting across the line together! 💕

As part of my commitment to community, I’ve chosen to keep my grant funds local and invest them in someone who truly gets what I do. I’m thrilled to be working with Heather from Be Bold Marketing— a past client and local business owner who has experienced firsthand the support of my programs.

For the next 6 months, Heather and I will be diving deep into marketing, branding, and social media accountability — all the things I can do, but don’t always make time for. Because let’s be real: juggling a daytime job, kids who play sport, and running a business that supports women through pregnancy and beyond… it’s a lot.

Sometimes, we need to pause from doing all the things and actually work on the business – not just in it. And while I’m so grateful my work continues to grow through word of mouth and the beautiful women who refer me, I have big dreams of reaching even more women – especially in rural areas – and offering deeper, wider support.

This grant is more than funding — it’s a reminder that when women support women, amazing things happen. 💗

Massive congratulations to all ❤️❤️❤️

Stay tuned… big things are coming ✨

💛 A Gentle Reminder for New Clients 💛

I’ve had a few mamas-to-be accidentally skip the first appointment option in the booking system — and I totally get it! Pregnancy massage is a non-negotiable for many of you, and you’re keen to get in. But here’s why that first appointment is so important:

📝 It triggers your online health questionnaire — saving your time and making sure I have everything I need to support you safely and fully.

👣 It allows me to assess you physically as you walk in — posture, movement, tension areas — things a form just can’t capture.

💬 And most importantly, it gives us time to connect — to check in emotionally as well as physically. Because pregnancy is more than just muscles and aches… it’s a full mind-body journey.

When this step is missed, we often need to rebook you properly through the system, and it can eat into your massage time with paperwork and admin — and no one wants that.

🤍 I know this service may look like a splurge, but what you receive in each session — deeply specialised care, emotional support, and bodywork tailored for pregnancy — is honestly worth more than what I charge.

Thank you for honouring the process — it’s here to support you best 💫

✨ Why Pregnancy Massage is More Than Just a Treat ✨

Pregnancy massage isn’t just about relaxation (though it’s so good for that too 💆‍♀️). It supports your body as it changes, helps ease aches, improve sleep, reduce swelling, and regulate stress hormones — all vital for a smoother pregnancy and birth.

🌿 The secret? Consistency.
Monthly or fortnightly massages throughout your pregnancy create the biggest benefits — physically and emotionally. Leaving it until the last 4 weeks can mean missing out on deep, lasting support when you need it most.

🤍 Nurture your body now, not just at the finish line.

Mother’s Day was on the weekend… and like many mums, I spent the day tending to our family! So I’m a little late to post, but the message is still burning strong in my heart.

To all the incredible women who mother in this world — birth mums, step mums, grand mums, foster mums, and all the women who walk alongside mothers and children with love, wisdom, and fierce support…

You are extraordinary.
You are the beholders of raising responsible adults, the givers of grace, and the quiet strength behind so many lives.

Mothering doesn’t fit in a box or a single definition. It’s a deep, sacred presence that shows up in so many forms — and to every woman who embodies that , lets honour you.

But here’s a question that lingers for me…
Out of 365 days in a year, why do we only celebrate motherhood for one?
Why not every day?

What if we woke up each morning and thanked the universe for the opportunity to mother — whether with our bodies, our energy, our love, or our care?

To all who mother, not just those with children of their own but everyONE on Mother’s Day, but every single day — you are sacred. You are worthy. You are essential.

I often hear women say, “You can’t plan for birth.”

And honestly… they’re right. Birth is unpredictable — it’s wild, raw, and unfolding in its own way. You can’t control it, but that doesn’t mean you should go in blind.

There’s a big difference between planning and preparing with intention. ❤️

Birth is not just a medical event — it’s the moment you step into your power as a parent. To not consider your preferences, your values, your boundaries… that’s not being “easygoing,” that’s giving your power away.👑

You deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported.

🗺️ Birth mapping is not about rigid plans — it’s about creating standards and support systems for you and your family.

Let your birth be an unfolding story — but make sure it’s one where your voice is heard.

Life has a way of giving you moments that completely shift your perspective.

Recently, my partner and I found ourselves at the scene of a serious roadside incident 🚨. We did what we could—called 000, offered support, stayed present. It was confronting, intense, and something I know will stay with us for a long time. The images, the emotions—it’s the kind of experience that lingers, that takes time to process 🫣.

And yet… this is the daily reality for paramedics, emergency staff, and hospital teams 🏥🚑.

They walk into situations like this every single day, often multiple times in one shift. They witness trauma. They hold space in the most heartbreaking moments. They are the calm in the storm—for people they’ve never met before—and they do it with compassion, steadiness, and courage ❤️‍🩹.

I’ve always had respect for our emergency workers, but now it runs even deeper. These are not just jobs—they are callings 🙏🏼.

To anyone who chooses this path of service: thank you. Truly. You give a piece of yourself every day so that others can be held, helped, and often saved 💛.

And to the rest of us, may we remember: there is so much more to life than our own little bubble 🌍.

There are people carrying invisible weights, doing incredibly hard things behind the scenes, and offering up their hearts in ways we may never fully understand 💫.

If you’ve got a friend or loved one in this line of work—send them some love today 💌. They deserve it.

Journal musings…

I’ve struggled with how to show up on social media.

In real life, I’m a heart-to-heart kinda gal. I thrive in deep, honest, soul-nourishing conversations. But online? It’s always felt like a different world. I’ve seen the way people can carefully craft a version of themselves that looks beautiful on the outside but doesn’t quite match the truth when you meet them in real life.

That’s honestly scared me—not just witnessing it, but fearing I could unknowingly do the same. I never want to contribute to the noise or to a culture of comparison.

I’m also a deeply private person. When life gets heavy or I’m going through something transformative, I go inward. I don’t feel called to share right away. And when I’m out in the world, soaking in joy or simply being present with the people I love, my first instinct is not to take a photo and post it.

But then there’s this desire to connect, to reach women who might need to know they’re not alone… to be real, and offer something genuine in a space that can feel curated and filtered.

So I guess I’m wondering…
How do YOU do it?
How do you show up online without losing the sacredness of your real life?
How do you stay open without feeling exposed?
And how do you cope with judgment when it does show up?

I’m getting to an age and a place in my life where I value my inner circle more than ever. I don’t care what “everyone” thinks, but I do care about staying in integrity. It’s this ongoing dance of privacy and presence, transparency and protection.

So if you’ve felt this too, I see you. And if you’ve figured it out—please share. I’m all ears.

Did you know that how you prepare for birth can shape your entire journey into motherhood?

Independent childbirth education, like Hypnobirthing Australia, isn’t just about learning how to “cope” with labour—it’s about understanding your body, your choices, and building unshakable confidence in yourself.

Unlike hospital classes that can sometimes feel rushed or one-size-fits-all, independent education is tailored to YOU. It’s evidence-based, empowering, and grounded in techniques that actually work—breath, mindset, knowledge, and deep connection.

And the best part? You’re not doing this alone.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting a class—you’re getting a real-life support person who’s right there beside you through the waves of preparation, emotions, and questions that can come up.

Think of me as your steady anchor—someone who sees you, hears you, and genuinely cares about helping you feel informed, nurtured, and ready.

Your birth matters. Your experience matters. And how you feel through it all? That matters most of all.

If you’re ready to take birth prep to a whole new level, I’m here for you.

Let’s make this a journey you’ll look back on with strength and pride.

Drop a comment or message me to chat more about upcoming classes or private sessions—I’d love to support you.
