In my career as a midwife I have witnessed the incredible strength of many women and families bringing new life into this world. There truly is no greater privilege than being present at such a vulnerable and significant moment of a woman’s life. I have seen women enter the labour and birth environment with hesitation, anxiety and fear and have also seen women leap into their labour with courage, calmness and trust. The contrasting experiences that all women undergo is what makes my job so interesting and rewarding.  But I felt like I could do more…

By becoming a Calmbirth educator my goal is to empower and prepare all women and families to be able to approach their own birth journey with knowledge, calmness, trust and even excitement! Knowledge is power, and I will help you reclaim your power by giving you the knowledge to unpack the fears and doubts so many of us have. I’ll help you build your toolkit to navigate the journey of labour, birth and parenthood. You’ll come out of your experience with strength you didn’t realise was possible and zero reservations to do it all again!

Through learning the Calmbirth program, it completely filled me with the confidence to plan a homebirth for our first child after a long IVF journey. We had our magically positive homebirth experience in 2023 and I truely cannot wait to labour and birth again. So many Calmbirth techniques were instrumental in my own experience and I attribute our great birth to doing the work to become emotionally and psychologically prepared.

The Calmbirth program is for couples, and emphasises how your support person can also build their confidence in birth and learn ways to actively support the birthing mother.

Every family has the opportunity to have a positive birth experience, no matter how your baby is born- so let’s spend a weekend together ensuring that you and your new family walk away from your birth feeling positively transformed and empowered.
