I acknowledge the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation - the custodians of the land on which I live. I acknowledge the beauty and strength of the Indigenous mothers that are currently growing and holding the next generation of Indigenous Australians. I commit to assisting Closing The Gaps in maternity, mother and newborn care for First Nations peoples.

A note on the term 'mother'

I use the term ‘mother’ to encompass every woman with the desire or experience of having a child. Maternal thriving here refers to those currently in the preconception, conception, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

A note on sex based terminology

I centre the words ‘woman’ and ‘mother’. Sexed terms recognise the prevalence of sex based inequities in mothering work. There is potential for interchangeability of the term ‘mother’ with ‘primary care giver’ - although ‘primary care giver’ doesn’t acknowledge the mother-baby dyad as being genuinely significant and unique. A note that the verb ‘mothering’ can be used to describe the characteristics of a mother, and as such can be used to describe those who are not biological mothers.

Not everyone moving through pregnancy, birth and postpartum identifies with ‘woman’ and ‘mother’. If this is true for you - I want you to know that you are welcome here. I am continuously building pathways of individualised care that sees and acknowledges you just as you are. The intake form has a place for you to let me know your pronouns as well as any terminology you would like to use/avoid in our work together. I honour all that navigate this transition.
