The Pregnancy Collective

18/06/2026

It's that time of year again. Every year around this time we take our boys completely off grid camping in northwest queensland. We have to bring everything- all the food, water and even the toilet (well we dig a hole actually😝). It's such a special time that i count down to each year- i love the disconnection from the "to do list " and hussle and bussle. I love just being with our family, making meals around the fire, watching the stars,coming back to nature and what matters most and just simply being together. It's always such a fun trip that we all love. So anyway that's where i'll be for the next couple weeks. I will only have reception if we go into town or track up a very big hill. So if you have any enquiries please message me and once i have reception i will reply.. it just won't be immediately ###

At the start of this year, six months ago, I bought a skateboard and decided I was going to learn to skate with my boys because they absolutely love it.

For me, it was never really about learning to skate. It was about being with them. The connection. The shared experience. Finding something we could do together that they genuinely love.

Then about a month ago, my boy Tallow had one big request for his 10th birthday:

"Mum, can you learn to drop in?"

So I made it my mission.

And yes, I managed to get it by his birthday on the 25th of May. I just scraped in a few days before. (And yes, it's taken me this long to make a reel 😂.)

But honestly, out of everything I've done this year, this has probably been one of the best.

The connection it's brought with my kids is hard to put into words. It's so cool being able to spend this time with them, chatting, laughing, learning together, and sharing something they care so much about.

And watching them cheer me on when I finally manage something that comes so easily to them but takes me weeks (or months!) to learn fills my heart every single time.

What I wasn't expecting was how much I would get out of it too.

It's been such a gift to step away from the endless to-do lists, the responsibilities, and the mental load of motherhood for an hour or two and simply do something for fun. To feel like a kid again. To be a beginner. To challenge myself. To fall over and get back up.

I've gained so much more than a skateboard skill.

But after six months... I finally got the drop in. 🛹❤️

Shout out to Theo The Online Skatepark and First class skateboard lessons Skateboard Lessons for getting me there xx

Reviews like this never lose their impact. 💗

I feel incredibly honoured and privileged to be invited into such a special season of people's lives. Walking alongside couples as they prepare to welcome their babies is something I never take for granted, and it truly is one of the greatest joys of the work I do.

Thank you so much, April and Patrick, for your beautiful words and for trusting me to be part of your journey.

Wishing you all the very best for the incredible journey ahead.

Feeling really honoured and grateful to have been part of this beautiful group of couples’ journey 🤍

Last night we finished the final class of my new Core Childbirth Program, and honestly, what an incredible group to begin this with. The interaction, the questions, the laughter, the jokes… it made for such a special three weeks together.

I’m so thankful you allowed me to be part of such an important and transformative season of your lives.

I know you’re all going to do an amazing job stepping into birth and parenthood. The work you’re doing matters so deeply, because you’re raising the next generation — and that fills me with so much hope and excitement for the future.

I truly believe we can change the world through the way we approach birth, connection, and parenthood 🤍
