Resident of Yarraville

Local business owner of Mother Nurture

I am a nurse, midwife, aromatherapist, massage therapist, infant massage instructor, wife to one, mum to two and friend to many.

Originally from QLD, I moved to Melbourne with my now husband in 1996 and eventually had our two beautiful daughters, now 10 and 12 years old.

We moved to Yarraville 7 years ago. I remember exploring other suburbs but kept returning to Yarraville. We just loved the vibe! My family has made so many life-long friends here and I feel a real sense of community.

Locals are passionate about the Inner-West. Just look at the effect of the Bulldogs premiership; supporter or not I think we all went along for the ride! Everything is at our doorstep, even a cinema…..and what a cinema it is!

Aromatherapy has always been an integral part of daily life for me and my family. Prior to becoming a mum, essential oils helped me to sleep and cope with the demands of shift work. This inspired me to undertake formal studies in Clinical Aromatherapy.

Mother Nurture was built on the foundation of my qualifications, experience and passion for offering a more holistic, personalised service to women on their journey through pregnancy, motherhood and beyond.

Many of us do not have extended families to rely on and I feel a lot of parenting duties are now delegated to professionals. I thoroughly enjoy using my skills and knowledge to nurture mothers and empower them with tools to help care for their families. I find health and wellbeing are important to people in this area and they are willing to embrace natural healing modalities.
