About me

Hello, I'm Amanda.  I have been a Registered Nurse since 2006 and a Registered Midwife since 2008.  I qualified as an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019 and pride myself on practicing with a whole person, woman centred approach.

Breastfeeding is a very personal experience which requires individualised and compassionate guidance.  I recognise the importance of breastfeeding education and support and strive to provide this through my empathetic and respectful nature.  I truly love assisting women achieve their breastfeeding goals and am committed to providing evidence-based breastfeeding help and support to Canberra mums.

It was a combination of my own birth experiences and experiences as a midwife, that gave me the push to become a Certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner. I wholeheartedly believe that birth can, and should, be a positive and empowering experience for all women, regardless of how a baby is born.  I recognise how imperative evidence based antenatal education and birth preparation is, and the profound role that this plays in a woman’s birth experience.  Alongside that, I recognise the crucial role that birth partners play.  My aim is for all birth partners to acquire the knowledge and skills to have a beneficial influence on their partner's birth experience.

I am passionate about working with women and their support people to aid in achieving optimal, empowering and satisfying birth experiences, setting them up for the best start possible as parents.
