Finally some change. Although I don’t believe it’s enough it is a small step in the right direction…

VICTORIAN WOMEN, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU! 💚

The green whistle (Penthrox) is now available for IUD procedures at every Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health Hub in Victoria. All 20 of them... Hallelujah.

It's the same fast-acting, short-term pain relief often used in emergency settings. You hold it. You stay in control. The days of "just take a Paracetamol beforehand" are behind us and we're not looking back.

Hub appointments are free, and yes, that includes regional Victoria. More than 11,000 Victorian women and girls used the hubs last year, and anyone walking through those doors for an IUD insertion or removal now has access to free, effective pain relief.

✨ Nourishment is so much more than food ✨

This week’s doula cooking session was extra special.

My beautiful client didn’t just receive meals for the week ahead — she joined me in the kitchen. We chopped vegetables side by side, shared stories, sat together while meals simmered, and took time to pray for one another.

There is something deeply healing about being held in community. About creating nourishment with your own hands while someone walks alongside you. These moments remind me that doula work isn’t just about practical support — it’s about witnessing, holding space, and honouring the journey you’re on.

It is a privilege to be invited into these sacred moments and to witness the unfolding healing, growth and strength of the women I work with. 🤍

This week’s menu:
🌿 Beef rump, sweet potato fries, capsicum, tomato & feta salad
🌿 Salmon & sautéed greens
🌿 Roast lamb, roast potatoes, mojo verde & honey mustard slaw
🌿 Autumn beetroot & goat’s cheese risotto
🌿 Paneer & spinach pizza
🌿 Umami chicken & green bean noodle stir-fry

Food can nourish the body, but connection nourishes the soul.

If you’re craving support, nourishment, companionship, or simply someone to stand beside you during your season of transformation, my doula cooking sessions are available for $30/hour, in your home or mine.

✨ Come as you are. We’ll make food, create space, and nourish more than just your body.

Today’s doula offering looked like slow simmering pots, grounding root vegetables, herbs infused with intention, and nourishing meals created to hold a family through this season of life 🌿✨

I truly believe food carries energy. The way we are nourished in pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, grief, transition, healing, and everyday life matters deeply. A warm meal can feel like regulation for the nervous system, a deep exhale for the body, and a reminder that you do not have to carry everything alone.

This week’s nourishment menu:

🥄 Chicken, garlic broccoli, sweet potato chips & white parsley sauce
🌶️ Cheesy chipotle pulled pork tacos
🐟 Salmon with Greek bean salad
🌿 Lamb steak with potato, green beans, dill, garlic, rosemary onions & walnuts
🥕 Beef steak with roasted carrot, potato, parsnip & gravy

Cooking support available as part of my doula offerings
✨ $30 an hour
✨ In your home or mine
✨ Postpartum meals, freezer prep, family nourishment & gentle practical support

Made with intention, warmth, grounding energy, and a whole lot of love 🤍

Because mothers deserve to be mothered too 🌙

The state’s health watchdog has ordered doctors and midwives to support women who refuse medical treatment during pregnancy and childbirth, even if it risks permanently harming their unborn babies.

The Safer Care Victoria guidelines, which quietly came into effect this month and is the first document of its kind in the state, coincide with growing concerns about the prevalence of birth trauma and an anecdotal rise in the number of women choosing “freebirths” outside the hospital system to avoid unwanted interventions.

There is something so powerful about being truely seen 💕

Haven has beautifully captured the essence of what a Perinatal Debrief with me is all about- creating space allowing; reflection, release and recognition with yourself through the raw seasons of motherhood ❤️‍🔥

These sessions are completely individual experiences and aren’t about finding a Band-Aid solution. They are about looking holistically. About being held, witnessed, and truely seen with warmth, compassion and intuitive care. 🪷

If you have been holding more than you realise, or simply need a soft place to land- this space is for you. 🩷
