about

I am an acupuncturist, herbalist and midwife in private practice.

I started attending births as a doula in 2007and in 2012 I joined Midwives@Sydney and Beyond offering private midwifery services to women and their families in the Sydney region.

While serving women in the community as a midwife, I continue to practice acupuncture from an Integrative Medical Centre in Manly where I work closely with doctors, naturopaths and osteopaths. I specialise in women's reproductive health, preconception care and pregnancy and have a special interest in supporting women experiencing fertility issues and recurrent miscarriage.

I have previously worked in a specialised centre providing acupuncture to women undergoing IVF treatment and have been involved in fertility and pregnancy research at the Centre for Complementary Research at the University of Western Sydney.

As a midwife I provide full antenatal, labour, birth and postnatal care to women in the community. I believe that birth unfolds best where women feel the safest and can labour as undisturbed as possible. This is individual to each woman and may be their home, a birth centre or hospital. I support women to birth at the venue of their choice. I offer my knowledge and clinical skills to assist women in making informed decisions for themselves and their family based on their own values, beliefs and experiences.
