My Journey Into The Birth World Began 15 Years Ago When I Started Trying To Have My Own Family. After Experiencing Several Losses, I Was Eventually Blessed With Two Wonderful Wild Boys.
My own parenting journey raising neurodiverse kids, learning about the parent I am, as well as supporting families of all shapes and sizes, has taught me about the varied Challenges People face on their parenting journeys. I realised parents need emotional support just as much as physical, so over the years I have added to my therapeutic skills To Help People navigate this journey, Both Emotionally and physically, as a doula and therapist.
