After many years working within the healthcare system—first as a healthcare assistant, then as a nurse, and finally a midwife—I began to feel something was missing. While medical care is vital, I often saw women moving through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood without the full, genuine support they truly needed.
The antenatal period is often filled with information—but not always the kind that helps families feel informed, empowered, or centred in their choices. Care often focuses on physical outcomes, with little space for the emotional, energetic, or relational aspects of this profound life experience.
Alongside my clinical work, I have always been quietly drawn to holistic therapies. There was a deep knowing in me: that there is more to birth and healing than what the system provides.
The work I do now brings these threads together—offering care that sees the whole person, honours the body’s wisdom, and makes space for softness, trust, and connection.
Now, having birthed my own little girl, I feel even more deeply connected to this work. Experiencing the transition into matrescence-the physical, emotional, and spiritual unfolding of becoming a mother—has given me a fuller understanding of what it means to be truly held during this time.
This lived experience has shaped not just how I work, but why I do this work: to offer the kind of presence, care, and support I know from the inside out is so needed.
Over the years, I’ve trained in several holistic therapies and will be offering more of these in the near future. For now, my focus is on Amatsu—a gentle, respectful therapy that helps the body realign and the nervous system settle.
It’s a quiet but powerful way to support women through the transitions of pregnancy, birth, and beyond—and it’s a joy to offer it.
