As a mother of two, speaking to friends and family facing the same challenges I encountered nurturing my babies, a little flame was ignited within.

It was then that I realised that as women we're strong, incredibly strong but at times too independent. We take on daily life and obstacles with heads held high. Yet when we're at our most vulnerable — pregnancy and giving birth — we feel compelled to carry that strength alone.

As mothers, we are a community, with shared experiences that we can be proud of. I felt the urge to help mothers ensure they understand the meaning of our community — motherhood — and the Village we all need. After all "it takes a village to raise a child".

Now, as a Certified WOMBS Postpartum Doula, I am able to formally turn my passion into a reality, supporting both mothers and fathers and their families through the best journey of their life — raising a family.
