After having my little boy, I felt there was a real lack of support both pre and postnatally. 

I felt incredibly anxious the moment I found out I was pregnant. Constantly googling symptoms, trying to find out what was safe or not safe. Consistently searching outside of myself for confirmation that everything was ok. 

Naturally, I threw myself into as much research about all things pregnancy and birth as I could possibly take in. But the more I read, the more I understood that this incredibly transformative time of life was never meant to be dictated by medical professionals. We were never meant to look outside of ourselves for the answers. This was the time to step into our own power, to understand that all the answers are already within us, that WE know better than anyone what is best for our body and our baby. 

This understanding not only changed the trajectory of my pregnancy journey, but also made me grow as a person. I became so much more confident in myself, beginning to trust my intuition and love my body more than ever before. Not only that, but my eyes had been opened to the broken system in which I was birthing. 

Despite my dreams of a calm unassisted home birth, after 27 hours of intense labouring I was rushed in for an emergency c-section. Although this outcome was hard for me to come to terms with, it only further fueled my desire to support women through this transitional time. Having had first hand experience of what it is like on the other side of the dreamy home birth, I feel I can be a much better support and well rounded practitioner. 

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are among the most transformative periods in a woman's life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and women deserve to feel deeply supported throughout the journey. It would be my absolute honour to walk alongside you on your journey.
