Homebirth mum of 2 boys, Host of Birthing at Home: A Podcast, Mental Health Nurse, Homebirth Australia Community Engagement Person & Co-founder of HBV!

 

After the birth of my second son at home in June 2023, I still only knew only ONE other homebirth mum. So I started the Homebirth Victoria Facebook Group to connect with like minded families, hosting my first meet up in Heidelberg in October 2023. 

Favourite labour or birth song?
I listened to this (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX1tuUiirhaT3?si=18eea18cb9034191)  playlist non-stop throughout my two labours. With Frankie I had it playing through my ear phones for a good 8 hours before switching to a speaker! 

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would you choose?
Do they have to be a real person? I’ve been really into ACOTAR and Fourth Wings books right now…so, if you know, you know. 

Fun fact about yourself?
In my identity crisis when I quit student midwifery after 3 years, never intending to become a nurse, i became a qualified recreational pilot! 

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
Having tried to live overseas before and having lived in many places, I’m not sure i’d live anywhere else than Melbourne! I would like to spend more time in Ireland though. It’s so beautiful!
