My mission is to support women and their partners through pregnancy and the postpartum period with compassionate, holistic care that nurtures their emotional wellbeing and strengthens their confidence as parents. Drawing on over a decade of experience as a perinatal counsellor, I provide a calm, grounding presence and evidence-informed guidance that honours each individual’s unique journey. My aim is to create a safe, steady space where mothers and their partners feel heard, held, and empowered to trust themselves. Through a blend of emotional support, practical postpartum care, and a deep commitment to mental health, my mission is to help you navigate this time of profound change with clarity, resilience, and a sense of inner strength.

My work begins before birth. I offer gentle pre-birth preparation sessions where we focus on emotional readiness, realistic expectations of the postpartum period, relationship changes, nervous system awareness, and practical planning. I really believe that how we prepare shapes how supported we feel afterwards.

After baby arrives, I provide calm, steady, in-home support during those early weeks. That might look like holding space while a mother processes her birth story, supporting feeding in a non-judgemental way, caring for baby so parents can rest, or helping establish rhythms that feel sustainable rather than stressful.

I’m particularly passionate about nervous system–aware care. Early parenthood can be incredibly dysregulating, and families don’t just need advice, they need someone regulated in the room. Someone who brings steadiness, reassurance and perspective.

My work is trauma-informed, evidence-based and deeply compassionate. I care about protecting the mental health of parents just as much as I care about the wellbeing of babies. My hope is that by the time I step away, families feel more confident, more resourced, and less alone in one of life’s biggest transitions.

I’m a qualified doula through the Australian Doula Academy and have worked as a perinatal counsellor for over 10 years, both in not-for-profit (Perinatal Wellbeing Centre, formerly PANDSI) and in the private sector (Wonderbump Psychology). I am a qualified Circle of Security facilitator, a certified facilitator of the Gottman Institute’s Bringing Baby Home couples’ program and have completed training in Emotional Freedom Couples Therapy (EFCT). I am also a certified Motherhood Studies Practitioner. And finally, but perhaps most important of all, I am a mum of two incredible girls, and my own journey into motherhood has shaped the way I show up - with empathy, honesty, and a deep respect for how transformative this time can be.

Alongside EMpowered Mothering, I work as a Perinatal Counsellor with the wonderful team at Wonderbump, a private perinatal psychology and counselling practice.

In this role, I offer individual counselling for women and parents navigating pregnancy, birth and the transition to parenthood. I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and offer couples counselling, focussing on support for partners navigating the changes and challenges that can come with becoming parents.

Wonderbump also offers a range of specialised programs designed to support parents and families at different stages, including Ready Together, Being Mum, Becoming Dad and Circle of Security.

As both a counsellor and doula, I maintain current Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance through IICT. This ensures that the support I provide is delivered within a professional, ethical, and fully insured framework, giving families confidence and peace of mind throughout our work together.
