My journey in supporting families spans over two decades, starting as a primary school teacher in both the UK and Australia, before following my passion into Midwifery. After the challenging birth of my first child, I was inspired to support women during their transition into motherhood, leading me to study a Bachelor of Midwifery at UTS. I trained at RNSH and, upon graduating, worked as a midwife at Westmead Hospital. Eventually, I achieved my lifelong dream of becoming an IBCLC in private practice in Sydney and more recently have become an endorsed and eligible midwife offering medicare rebates up till 8 weeks postpartum. I am deeply passionate about the postpartum period and founded Motherhood Matters to support parents in building their confidence. My goal is to help them tune out the noise and trust their instincts, no matter if it's their first or fifth time becoming a parent. I firmly believe that women and their families deserve empathy, information, and nurturing support as they navigate this life-changing transition. It's truly an honor to be part of their journey. I have a particular focus on function and have undertaken extensive specialist training and ongoing professional development. I have trained in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the Australian Orofacial Myology Collaboration and the Centre for Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. Additionally, I have completed various advanced courses, including the Masterclass of Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad, and the Foundations of Reflex Expression and Integration (Levels 1 & 2) with Rhythmic Movement Training International. I have also completed the Craniosacral Therapy Foundations course (Level 1) with Upledger Academy. My education and training include numerous other specialists, such as Bridget Ingle RN RM IBCLC OMT, the Tongue Tie Institute, Ellen Carlin SLP, Dr. Bobby Ghaheri ENT, Dr. Alison Hazelbaker PhD IBCLC CST, and Dr. Tracy Cassels PhD in Sleep Science. In addition to my private practice, I collaborated with the University of Technology, Sydney, to create and lecture in the first standalone breastfeeding subject for the Bachelor of Midwifery and Graduate Diploma of Midwifery programs. I also founded the Motherhood Matters Pathway 3 Program, designed to guide and mentor those aspiring to become IBCLCs.
