About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa!

Apart from being proud birth nerd from here in Whadjuk country, I am a mama of two, a science teacher, and a dancer.

Matrescence is a glorious transformation. In that changing and expanding of my mind and soul, I have fallen in love with motherhood, and with birth as the right of passage that takes us all into motherhood.

I have a passion for promoting physiological birth and, more so, for preparing women to be informed advocates for themselves in our maternity care system.

And so here I am!
