MY STORY
How I got here
I studied Nursing in New Zealand, and the majority of my career has been in child health/Well Child areas, I completed a Post-Grad Certificate in Well Child Specialty Nursing in 2009, worked for a Well Child Provider for a number of years and the rest of my time spent working alongside new families in maternity/postnatal.
My path into lactation support began in 2012 after the challenges I personally faced breastfeeding my second son. That experience changed everything. I pursued my IBCLC qualification, qualifying in 2015, and have since supported hundreds of families across community, hospital and private practice settings.
Throughout my IBCLC and Nursing career I witnessed remarkable outcomes for babies who received bodywork alongside feeding support.
In 2018 I completed my Diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy — and it opened my eyes to an entirely new way of looking at health, for babies and families across every age and stage of life.
I combine this knowledge and the skills I learnt as a school leaver when I completed a Certificate in Massage and have developed my own style — combining anatomy, intuition and a felt sense that I bring to every
body-therapy that I offer.
I'm a mum of three — two boys and a girl — and everything I do is shaped by both my professional training and my lived experience as a parent. I look forward to meeting you.

MY APPROACH
What you can expect from me
Non-judgemental
There is no right or wrong way to feed or parent. I meet every family exactly where they are.
Evidence-based
My advice is grounded in current research and my extensive clinical experience
Holistic
I look at the whole picture — body, mind and family — not just the presenting issue.
Family-centred
Your goals and wellbeing always come first in everything I recommend.
