During my experience as a registered midwife on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve had the privilege of assisting countless pregnancies and have witnessed the most incredible miracles afforded by modern medicine and intervention.
Whilst I advocate for modern medical intervention in abnormal or emergency situations, I do believe there is an increasing level of unnecessary medical intervention during pregnancy and birth, that can be avoided through alternative, non-invasive means.
Through my pregnancy-specific workshops, yoga, and pilates, I have helped hundreds of expecting parents attain:
Mental preparation to understand the physiology of birth, eliminating fears and lack of confidence in their bodies
Mental strength & coping techniques to increase resilience towards contractions and reduce exhaustion in labour.
Physical preparation allowing birth to flow naturally in the most progressive and easeful way possible for your individual body.
A reposition of transverse &/or breech babies, into optimal positions where they can birth naturally, avoiding an unnecessary C-section.
