Day 2 of Solo Paris Trip - Julia Margaret Cameron photography exhibition. This incredible artist started taking photos at age 48 when photography was still very new (take heart fellow women in our 40s who may feel anxious about new technology). It’s never too late to start. And what hauntingly beautiful images.

The most beautiful bunch of flowers from the most beautiful patient and her husband. So happy that her treatment has been successful and she is now pregnant. Shout out to my wonderful colleague at for her part in this win ❤️🙌☺️

When your gynaecologist is feeling smug cos she is wearing her fave Lucy Peach T-shirt to work and she knows The Power of the Period and how to help you hack your menstrual cycle. “What day are you?” “D10, can’t you tell?”

PS Read “Period Queen” if you haven’t already, or at the very least, do womankind a favour and watch Lucy Peach on YouTube. 9 mins and 14 seconds you won’t regret ❤️

The end of an era! This morning I finished my very last shift at Mater Mother’s Public. I first worked here as an intern in 2008, as a registrar in 2013 and it’s been my “alma mater” since 2017. This place has taught me so much of what I know about obstetrics and gynaecology and is home to so many of my mentors. There’s no better-run ship (and I’ve worked in a LOT of hospitals in my time) and you couldn’t get a more supportive team and a better culture of teaching and learning. Mater Mother’s provides the absolute best care to mothers and babies -it’s no coincidence I chose to have my own baby here! I’m sorry to say goodbye to the O&G department but will still get to help more mums and babies when I join the Hatch Maternity team next month. Time to spread my wings!

I am so excited to announce that from August I will be joining the wonderful women at Vera Womens’s Wellness. You will still find me working in private practice in South Brisbane (with the beautiful CMOG team) on Mondays and Wednesdays…but on Fridays I will travel to the rolling green hills, the hoop pine forests, the 300 year old fig and the babbling brooks that make up Vera. I am excited to practice whole-hearted medicine with these whole-hearted beauties. I am excited to be part of such a passionate and dynamic multi-disciplinary team, all under the same roof. I am excited to be able to give women that little extra time, space and heart that longer consultations will allow. I have been busy learning so many new things to add to my gynae tool box - a deeper understanding of dietary change and gut health for endo, pain and PMDD; restoring ovulation for PCOS, fertility and health; sexual counselling; the role of childhood trauma in women’s health; helping with hormonal balance and peri menopause. I am excited to share this will all my patients, wherever I see you. If you’re not following Vera on the socials already, I invite you to join us on the adventure! Opening August.

All girls team today for the Flying O&G (FOG) service in Dalby. Starring myself, Sarah our registrar, Cathy our Clinical Nurse Coordinator and Hayley our RFDS pilot. Today we had a theatre list and clinic so these beautiful women in the country can live their best lives without having to travel for hours to get their women’s business attended to. This week we are servicing Roma (our base), Longreach, Dalby, Chinchilla and St George. This is my fifth trip with the FOG service delivered by Mater. Sadly I will wrap up my role at Mater Mothers at the end of July (to give me more time to focus on my private work, with exciting new developments, stay tuned!) so this will also be my last trip as FOG. It’s been great South-West Queensland, thanks for having me. X

Flashback to holidays three weeks ago when my husband, daughter and my mum spent a glorious week on Minjerribah, or North Stradbroke Island Scheduling in holidays is so terribly, terrible important. This was our third holiday this year and and this was very intentional. After I returned from maternity leave in 2019 I totally smashed myself. Even though I came back from mat leave 4 days a week, I was working a lot of hectic on call obstetric shifts on top of that and setting up in private and…being a mum! And then COVID hit. I ended up going 18 months without any holiday. Was it any surprise then that in this time I got really burnt out, and had 7 weeks off work with a horrid CMV infection? I now fully appreciate how important regular down time is for the mind, body and soul. Next holidays - October! (Moments before the second picture was taken, I saw my first humpback of the year from this viewpoint, and one of the first of the season - a solitary male migrating North ahead of the females)

Spent the morning geeking out on the pelvic floor with the lovely Alex and Liz from Pelviology. Multidisciplinary catch-ups are the best. I’m so humbled by all the things I can learn from my colleagues, especially physios as passionate and knowledgeable as Alex and Liz. I love being able to refer my patients to the right team to help them in their healing pathway to wellness. As your treating team, we will collaborate and problem-solve to deliver you the best care.

Need a friendly Gynaecologist? Come see me on Mondays or Wednesdays at my private rooms in South Brisbane, in the Salmon Building of the Mater Hospital. So very honoured to have my name on this door underneath some of my amazing mentors and colleagues. Dr Megan Castner was on the RANZCOG interview panel when I interviewed (successfully) to get onto training in 2010. I was Dr Amy Mellor’s Adolescent Gynae senior registrar in 2017 at the Mater and she has taught me most of what I know in this area. Dr Luke McLindon was and still is my main laparoscopic mentor. He assists me for my tricky cases and every time I operate with him I am humbled by what an incredible surgeon he is and also by his respectful communication style with the theatre team. Dr Leanne Chapman and I have been on this path together since 2004 when we were both fresh faced med students together. And I have worked alongside midwives Kathy Lerato and Kieran Froese since I was a reg at Mater Mothers. Thanks for including me in the CMOG family!
