Meet Fiona

My name is Fiona, I am a HypnoBirthing childbirth educator and birth & postpartum doula here in Perth Western Australia. I am also a mother to three precious loves who every day light up my world. Through my journey into parenthood I have experienced the unimaginable heartbreak of loss, the numbness of secondary infertility, the power of childbirth, intense breast-feeding struggles, and also post natal depression. Three very different births that changed who I am in ways I cannot even begin to describe.

The more I learned about birth and educated myself about the choices that were available to me, the more empowered I became in my birth decisions. This ultimately led me to experience pure joy. A clear example of what the power of education can do, and a true testament to what self belief can achieve.

As well as being a mother, I have spent 7 years working as a pregnancy and newborn photographer, which has allowed me to speak constantly with beautiful women both in the lead up to their birth as well as soon after. The more I spoke to my new mothers in my studio about their expectations prior to and then the reality of their birth, the more I learned that so many women lack the support, knowledge and confidence to believe in themselves and their body.

I am thrilled to be able to do this by bringing the amazing techniques of HypnoBirthing to my clients with group and private classes, building on this with 1:1 Private Antenatal Birth Preparation sessions. In these sessions I tailor every detail specifically to you and your birthing needs, building your birth plan together step-by-step and giving you the care of a doula without my attendance at your birth.

As well as a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator I am also a Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula, trained as both through Australian Doulas. I support new mothers and their partners emotionally and physically throughout their pregnancy, birth and as they transition into parenthood through the early postnatal period. I am also currently studying a Bachelor of Counselling at ECU with the aim to specialise in Perinatal Counselling in the near future.

No matter what you want for your pregnancy, birth and parenting ahead, I will be there to support and nurture you and your family throughout your journey.
