I believe that birth shouldn’t be a medical event, it’s a human one. How decisions that need to be made, are communicated, can matter as much as the decision itself. The likelihood of experiencing birth trauma decreases when your care providers explain why an intervention might be necessary, provides transparent information rather than fear mongering tactics, seeks informed consent, welcomes questions and discussion and pauses and holds space for you to make the best decision you can for you and your baby. The difference between an intervention feeling supportive, safe and welcome or terrifying and violating - is communication. Most birth trauma doesn’t come from the birth or birth outcome itself, it comes from how women were treated and were communicated with, during their experience of birth. With one in three women experiencing birth trauma in Australia, The Birth Ally’s mission is to change the narrative and support women to reclaim the power of birth. 

Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are powerful transitions - and having the right support can make all the difference. I believe that you already have what you need within you to beautifully birth and parent your baby. My role is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported - however your experience unfolds. I hold space without judgement and with deep respect for your choices.

Through prenatal, birth and postpartum support, I help women navigate their journeys with confidence, connection and authenticity. Bridging empathy with evidence, I support women to make their birth experience transformational, healing and a deeply personal experience, while fostering informed choice, advocacy and lasting empowerment.
