Mission
I help ambitious women, organisations and healthcare providers rethink how we prepare for one of life's biggest transitions. Through speaking, workshops and practical education, I combine pregnancy strength, practical birth preparation and matrescence to help women feel confident not only in birth, but in the transition into motherhood.

Signature Workshops
Birth Preparation for Women Who Train
Women spend months building strength during pregnancy, but strength alone doesn't prepare them for birth.
This workshop combines pregnancy strength, birth biomechanics, movement, breathing, pushing and practical techniques to help women work with their bodies during labour and walk into birth feeling informed, prepared and confident.
60 min to 3 hours
Understanding the transition into motherhood
Women prepare for having a baby. Very few prepare for becoming mothers.
This workshop introduces matrescence and helps women understand the physical, emotional and identity transition into motherhood. Women leave with practical tools, language and confidence to navigate one of life's biggest life changes.
Suitable during pregnancy or at any stage of motherhood.
60 min to 3 hours
