Where Stories Begin
Bringing a child into the world is a profound rite of passage — but it’s not the only one.
We move through many thresholds in life — from birth and postpartum, to grief, healing, or simply the quiet transformation of becoming more ourselves. My work is about supporting people through these transitions — through presence, warmth, and grounding touch.
With a deep commitment to holistic care, I offer both bodywork and doula support — weaving together emotional presence, intuitive guidance, and healing practices like massage. Whether you're preparing for birth or moving through something else entirely, I create a space where you feel seen, held, and empowered.
Acupressure bodywork is at the heart of what I do.
It’s a way to ease physical discomfort, regulate the nervous system, and restore a deeper sense of connection — with your body, your breath, and whatever you’re navigating. I offer hands-on support during pregnancy, postpartum, and across the broader arc of life — for stress, fatigue, recovery, or simply to feel more at home in your body.
For those on the path to parenthood, I offer doula care that honors birth as a sacred and personal experience. Over the past two decades, I’ve traveled widely and been deeply inspired by cultures where birth is shared in community — where women are surrounded by warmth, wisdom, and trust in the body. Becoming a doula felt like a natural extension of that calling.
Raised in a large family and shaped by strong community values, I learned early the power of care, connection, and shared experience. These threads are woven through everything I offer — whether on the massage mat or in the birth space.
Every woman holds a vision of how she hopes to give birth. My role as a doula is to support and advocate for that vision — to walk beside you with steady, compassionate care as you bring new life into the world.
I currently serve families and individuals in the Ballarat, Maryborough, Ararat, Pyrenees, and Grampians regions.
If you're curious or unsure where to begin, feel free to get in touch — I'd be happy to talk things through with you.
