✨ 2026 CLASS DATES ✨

Melbourne families — my group Hypnobirthing class dates for the first half of 2026 are officially locked in. If you’re welcoming a baby in the new year, I’d love for you to join me for a weekend of birth education, connection, and nourishing your mind, body and soul — all while meeting other families on the same journey.

Birth education is such an important tool to help you navigate your choices in birth and achieve a more positive outcome.

Over the weekend, you’ll learn practical tools and techniques to help you reach a deep state of relaxation during labour. We’ll explore your birth choices, discuss birthing within the hospital system, common interventions and how to navigate them, and your partner will learn how to be the best advocate and support for you on your big day.

Birth doesn’t always unfold exactly as planned, but having knowledge, tools and confidence can help you stay grounded, make informed decisions, and feel more empowered throughout your experience.

Spaces are limited, so if you’re interested, you can book via the link in my bio or send me a DM. I can’t wait to support you ✨💛🙏🏼

This course includes:
- 2 x 6 hour sessions of face to face classes at my home in Doncaster East
- Folio of resources full of information and education for your labour and birth
- Access to the online portal which is full of resources, where you can also download beautiful MP3 soundtracks and more
- Exclusive birth videos shared by other Hypnobirthing parents
- Homemade lunch and snacks made by me
- Ongoing phone/email support in the lead up to your birth
- Referrals to other pregnancy, birth, postpartum practitioners to support you on your journey
- Gift bag of goodies
-Options for continuity of support from me (postpartum planning, in home support etc)

You can book via the link in my bio, or send me a DM and let’s chat.

A little peak into what a postpartum visit can look like.

I don’t take photos very often during my visits but thought I’d show you a little of what it can look like. Lots of practical help and nourishing care. What’s not pictured is the moments I get to sit with Mum, connecting & having beautiful conversations about the huge transformation she is going through.

So grateful Mums choose me to be a part of their village and support them on this journey.

If you’re interested in how I can support you, please send me a DM and let’s chat.

I have limited capacity each month so please reach out sooner than later ✨

🍁August Highlights🍁

I really love this trend of monthly highlights/moments. It’s such a great opportunity to reflect on all the moments, achievements and work that’s happened each month 💛

August has been a huge month for our family, settling back into our home after 3 long months house hopping while insurance works were done at our house. What isn’t shown here is the 5,365,397 boxes unpacked, and countless hours deep cleaning - but so worth it!

1. New Month, New Energy, Back Home 🏡

2. Taught 2 private Hypnobirthing classes

3. Dates with working on a project we’re both very passionate and excited about bringing you.

4. Back to Family Sunday roasts, so happy cooking back in my kitchen again

5. So many long baths, soaking in the gratitude being back in our home

6. Visited the incredible team learning all about their specialists and the incredible Breastfeeding Day Stay offering

7. Had a team training day in the kitchen learning about all the new dishes that are on the menu

8. Friday night pizza and movie in bed dates with Jett, best end to the week!

9. So much meal planning and prepping now I’m back in my space. Order back in my life and loving it.

10. Lots of walks on our back path on Mullum Mullum trail and prioritizing moving my body.

11. Celebrated my SIL graduating and becoming a teacher, such lucky kids of the future that will have her as their teacher 💛

12. Wrapped up all 3 boys footy seasons

13. So many meal packages being made for new Mums

14. Officially back to postpartum doula’ing

15. On set for next cookbook photoshoot - had the best time!

16. Celebrated my big boys 11th Birthday (we hired a mini boat and drive down the Yarra, highly recommend)

That’s a wrap for August! Big month of new beginnings. So ready to step into Spring a flourish even more 🌼🌿🌸

I’M BACK! 🙏🏼💛

It feels so good to officially be back postpartum doula’ing in the community again!

After a break following my surgery earlier this year and experiencing firsthand the power of receiving care, compassion, and the space to truly rest and recover, I now feel better than I have in years, ready to give again 💛

I feel energized, nourished, and deeply grateful.

I’m so excited to be supporting mums again with lots of love, nourishment, and gentle care as they navigate this precious postpartum journey 💛

A little snapshot of my postpartum visit today with the winner of our Mother’s Day giveaway 💛✨

It was such a beautiful day - Mum was able to get out for a nice (solo) relaxing walk, had a foot soak while feeding bubs, had some fresh sourdough and snacks and so many beautiful conversations about motherhood and life.

What a gift it is to do this work and supporting mothers during this time x

It has been on my mind to share an update with you all following my recent surgery. It has been a long process these past couple of years investigating what was going on with my health, finding the right team to support me through the process and now, starting to feel like myself again.

I wanted to share my story to remind you how important it is to listen to your body, do your research, advocate for your health and to ask for a second (or third) opinion if you feel you need to.

I've had so many of you reaching out and checking in and I am beyond grateful thank you! I'm now excited to gently get back to doing all the things I love, including supporting families 🙂
