I entered the world of women’s wellbeing in 1989 when I commenced my midwifery training. Despite my hesitation to become a midwife, my first day on the job immediately turned that viewpoint around. I felt completely at home. And I’ve loved every day of being a midwife since.
Early in my career in the world of birth I was alerted to all that I didn’t understand about the pelvis by a gifted bodyworker called Wintergreen. She awoke the pelvic geek in me and I am forever grateful.
I went on to complete a diploma in Holistic Bodywork and explore different modalities of touch work over the years. I’ve come to the conclusion that the pelvis will always keep me in a state of wonder. It’s the gift that keeps on giving! I’m always learning more about the interconnectedness of connective tissue, always in awe of the differences in and of each woman’s pelvis, always dumbfounded at a baby’s creative powers to navigate through the birth tunnel.
And so while I no longer attend births, I remain connected to its magic in working with women before and after the event.
I have lived in Melbourne, Australia since I was 18, having grown up in Gippsland’s Latrobe Valley. I have 2 children, 2 step children, 2 grandchildren and an amazing husband………and 2 dogs.
