Nest and Nourish

Long before I became a midwife, I knew I wanted a career centred around caring for people. I have always loved being around families and have been drawn to supporting others through some of life's most important moments. My empathetic and creative nature led me to midwifery, where I found the privilege of walking alongside families during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

As my experience grew, so did my passion for providing more comprehensive and accessible care. I became an Endorsed Midwife to expand my scope of practice and provide greater continuity of care, including home visits for families throughout Mackay and the surrounding districts.

My passion for lactation care developed after seeing how difficult infant feeding could be for new parents. Families were often receiving conflicting advice and were left feeling uncertain about what to do next. I wanted to understand more and provide better support, which led me to undertake further education and become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Becoming a mother myself gave me an even deeper appreciation of the support families need. I found that while support existed for many parts of the journey into parenthood, specialised lactation care could be much harder to access.

Nest & Nourish brings together everything I value about midwifery and lactation care—compassion, continuity, safety, evidence-based practice and personalised support for the whole family.
