Nurtured by Nature Naturopathic & Birth Support, Australia

I am a Mother, a Naturopath, a Birth Attendant and Natural Fertility Educator. I enjoy supporting my clients from preconception right through to post natal and paediatric care. I work as a Naturopath at Fertile Ground Health Group in East Melbourne, as well as my own clinic, The Park Orchards Health & Wellbeing Centre.

As a Birth Attendant or Doula, I bring a broad range of skills and tools to your birth experience, and will support you to achieve the birth that you want - whatever it may be. I am happy to attend births in public and private hospitals, birthing centres and homes.

I love to empower women and their partners and remind them that birth is a natural and amazing process that women's bodies are perfectly designed for. I help women to trust in their ability to work with the intensity of labour, and support them in their transition into motherhood.

I provide antenatal support, birth attendance and post natal support to my clients. I offer a free initial consult with potential birth clients, allowing us to meet up and make sure we're on the same page. I then meet with my clients at least twice before their birth to educate and prepare for birth. I am on call 24/7 from 37 weeks, and will attend your birth in its entirety. I generally stay until baby has it's first feed, and then follow up with two post natal visits.
