I completed my midwifery degree at the University of Brighton in the UK in 2007 and moved to Perth WA in 2009. I have practiced my craft in all models of maternity care including Hospitals and Birth centers. I have attended over a hundred home births as a midwife and I am recognized as an expert in water birth. The findings from my widely acclaimed water birth research have been published and presented internationally. I have trained as a Hypnobirthing practitioner and I am a qualified clinical reflexologist. I have had three babies of my own. Their wings have dried and they have flown the nest.
My personal philosophy is to support normal birth where possible, offer women information so they can make good choices, to promote self-care relaxation and connection for women and couples in this pivotal period of their life.
