MY STORY
After the birth of my first child I really saw the impact my mind and mental state had on my overall experience through pregnancy, birth and the months following.
Having spent extensive time with healthcare practitioners in the birthing community who confirmed my realizations, understanding and experience I was asked to share with a select few my findings. These findings form the foundation of this course.
I am excited and honoured to share these with you.
There is much focus on how you can prepare your body prior to and during pregnancy but what I found missing was the emphasis and focus on how you can prepare your mind.
Let's start together. I am here to help you along your beautiful journey.

HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WHAT YOU NEED & IS IT WORKING FOR YOU
How easy is it for you to ask for what you need? Do you find it difficult to say “No” to what you don’t want and “Yes” to what you want?
