Midwifery support from a globe travelling midwife collecting wisdom along the way.

30/05/2026

Every two years private practice midwives are required to present a review of their practice.

It always offers a time for reflection, and for me it has had me reflecting deeply on my journey as a midwife, especially these past 6 years attending homebirths in Australia.

We’re required to collect our statistics, but here I don’t see numbers. These are very real and impactful life experiences of women, babies and families I’ve journeyed with.

This reflects years of investment into relearning the traditional ways of midwifery, not because they are a nice little add on, but because I genuinely believe they are integral to preserving physiological birth.

The reality is that physiological birth is becoming something that some midwives rarely even witness.
And how do you learn to sit beside birth with discernment if you don’t have trust not only in what is unfolding, but in the immense capacity of women and the multitude of ways birth can unfold?

This is my life’s work and passion.

The reason I have dedicated my life to travelling the world, learning traditional practices, integrating them into my practice and teaching them to other birth workers.

It isn’t about statistics, but to share that this way of caring genuinely makes a difference.

Traditional midwifery has sustained life for generations, and I believe we are at an important point in history where we need to seriously slow down the medicalisation of birth, recognise the potential harms it can cause, and learn how to integrate both traditional wisdom and modern medicine with reverence, discernment, and the woman at the centre of it all.

This is bigger than me and my practice, but it starts here, with the very real outcomes I witness with the women I care for.

Because this level of care is an investment, and one that has an invaluable return.

And with the vilification of home birth and traditional midwives not just here in Australia but globally, we need to have more truth and transparency of what’s actually going on and not be influenced but sensationalised news articles.

An extension of your hands
The tools you hold women with matter
It’s not just a piece of fabric
It’s a living lineage
An energetic vibration
One that makes women feel held
By the generations before us who have continued on weaving the threads of women’s wisdom

Ethically and deeply intentionally sourced

Two weeks ago I was supporting a group of women to journey back to themselves alongside my dear Maya midwife sisters.
Preparing for our closing ceremony, the ceremony that pulls all the threads together, to strengthen and prepare the women to walk with this experience with deep connection and reverence.
Intentionally arranging the elements of the alter that will be set alight, transmuting our prayers and partitions.
Held by the sacred Lago Atitlan, volcanos and our Ancestors.
In some ways looking back on this part of my life like some kind of sacred dream, whilst simultaneously being reminded that these experiences shape every moment.
Now back home in Australia, with the approaching winter making itself known, the sound of the ocean, the returning to the flow of life in dedication to serving birthing women, with the magic of it all coursing through me.
Holding it all with deep gratitude and awe 💗
Blessed to have said yes to this life 💗

Sydney!
We have expanded!
Put previously SOLD OUT circle has had the capacity to grow.
Thank you to a team of passionate and skilled support sisters and moving to a bigger space, we have opened up our circle.

There are now a few more spaces for this workshop.
This one’s all about birth; for the pregnant mamas, support people, midwives and doulas supporting in any setting.
From hands on skills, working with a rebozo, to supporting mama in pregnancy to having the knowledge and discernment of how to support births that aren’t unfolding smoothly.
This is for you!

We also have a few spaces left for Roots of the Feminine in Annandale (only an hour away).
It’s the perfect opportunity to attend both my signature circles in one city.
DM me for a discount code if you want to attend both.

Don’t wait these last few spaces will be snapped up🧡

The last slide got me 🥹🥹🥹

That closing embrace says everything.
All of us woven together after a week of ceremony, learning, tears, laughter, fire, and deep remembering.

If you’ve ever longed to be in a space where you are fully seen — not for what you do, not for the role you hold — but for who you are underneath it all… this is the space we create.

One of the strongest reflections from the women who have previously gathered is the sisterhood.

Not surface level connection.
Not networking.
But real witnessing.

We sit with each other in truth.
We hold each other in grief and in joy.
We recognise ourselves in one another.

The healing of the sister wound has been an unexpected gift of this retreat.
To see a woman in her pain and not turn away.
To stay.
To hold her as she transforms it.
And to feel yourself transforming alongside her (sound like a useful skill for sitting in the birth space?!).

Many of these women are still closely connected. Because when you traverse the depths together… when you allow yourself to be fully seen… when you pray and learn and unravel side by side… something deep takes root.

This retreat will deepen your skills.
But…!

Moreso it will deepen your capacity to be in true relationship with other women.
To truly see, without shying away.
To hold in real compassion and understanding.
Because you’ve been held there yourself.

There are only a few spaces remaining for this year’s immersion.
If you’ve been feeling the pull…one of the last spaces is open for you.

You would be so welcome here. 🌿

Reciprocity is not something we add on at the end.
It is the foundation of Weaving Within.

Our teachers say.
This work is not just for here, you need to take it back to your communities.
They see that the world is in need of healing, it impacts them too.
They want these teachings to travel.
But not as extraction.
Not as trend.
Not as something separated from its roots.

They remind us:
If you are going to carry this, carry it well.

Be shaped by the land.

Be connected by ceremony.

Be held in your own healing.

Learn in right relationship.

Because you cannot take women where you have not gone yourself.

This is sacred responsibility.

And this retreat is an opportunity to step into it — with humility, integrity, and depth.

Only a few spaces remain for this year’s immersion.
If you feel the call to learn in relationship, you are welcome here. It’s time.

We always have bone broth on the go in our house — drunk straight (my grandmother gave it to us in bottles as babies) or as the base of everything.
This is why my congees, soups and slow cooks are next level.

Why it’s a postpartum powerhouse:
✨ Supports the gut — especially when many women receive antibiotics in pregnancy or birth. Gut health directly impacts emotional wellbeing.
✨ Collagen + gelatin for tissue repair and gut lining support.
✨ Deep minerals + healthy fats — breastmilk is fat-based, so we need good fats in.
✨ Warm, hydrating, rebuilding nourishment.

🧡For low AFI or waters breaking early:
1L bone broth + ghee + salt daily.

Spices — this is where it becomes medicinal:
Red dates + goji (blood building)
Shiitake (nervous system + immune support)
Ginger + cinnamon (warming circulation)
Turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
Cumin, coriander + fennel (digestive + milk supply support)
Salt + splash of vinegar to draw minerals from the bones.

For a proper collagen-rich broth choose connective tissue + cartilage:
Chicken feet, wings, necks, frames, skin
Pig trotters
Beef marrow bones
Oxtail
Knuckle/joint bones
Tendons

Cook 3–4 hrs on low. Gentle heat preserves the gelatin.
Instant Pot for ease, stovetop for extra wobble.

Bone broth isn’t trendy… it’s timeless.

Save this and let me know how yours turns out.
