The Nesting Place Founder
I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother of two incredible children (and a dog). A trained physiotherapist, a Childbirth Educator with BirthWorks International, a member of Trust Homebirth Tauranga, and a passionate believer in intuition.
As a facilitator of the BirthWorks process through The Nesting Place, my intention is to provide evidence based information on pregnancy, birth and early parenting and to inspire couples to become the experts of themselves, their choices, their babies, and their journeys.
I am a women who has been fortunate enough to have been surrounded by the right people at the right time. My life so far has been an incredible journey including experiencing having my first baby prematurely, and the birth of my son at home. It was my training as a physiotherapist and the growth I have experienced through my years as a mother, that have led me to where I am now; at a place where my focus is on the need for respect and humanity around the amazing power, instinct, and normalcy of childbirth, and the necessity of the village to raise a child.
