My journey to becoming a doula began when I was a student nurse and I had the honour of witnessing a physiological birth during a maternity placement. It was such an incredible experience and privilege to be present as a woman journeyed through the rite of passage of giving birth. It planted a little seed of knowing inside of me that has danced away in the back of my mind for many years. Fast forward 13 years, many adventures, life and career pivots, alternative therapy studies and three beautiful babes later, I am following my passion and combining my skills as a birth and postpartum doula.

​

My holistic approach to this sacred period of time in a woman's life has been a culmination of years of experience both professionally, and personally.  My own journey from maiden to mother being the guiding force inspiring me to combine my passions and be able to offer an individualised approach to the care I provide.

The guiding principle behind my work is to nurture and nourish the new mama. My background in Nursing and Nutrition were the other inspiration for choosing 'nu' as part of my business name.

​

I have worked as a Registered Nurse for the past 12 years, in particular loving my roles in education and training. I strive to deliver evidence based education, paired with real world experience and practicality to ensure the families I work with have an instilled confidence and understanding throughout their pregnancy, birth and postpartum. 

My nutrition degree equips me with the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor nutritional recommendations for pre and postnatal requirements as needed and my favourite way to do this is via nourishing meals and by using food as medicine. I am also able to prescribe and source practitioner only supplements for my mama's if required, dependant on their individualised needs after reviewing laboratory results and history.
