I see you...
I see you through the masks, the protections, the walls you build to keep yourself hidden.
I see your power.
I see your beauty.
I see your authenticity.
I see your vulnerability.
I see your heart.when we journey deep and begin to unravel the layers of shame, the fear, the stories and beliefs that no longer serve; we begin to dismantle all you are NOT.
when you are witnessed here, you begin to heal your relationship to your self and uncover your most authentic self.
these photoshoots are alchemical medicine.

I help women enter motherhood feeling safe, courageous and connected to their incredible feminine power.
Childbirth needn’t be traumatic. In fact it can be one of the most profound, positive and empowering moments of our lives. It just takes the right education, a support person you can trust, and a bit of practice.
Thats what I am to provide through my Hypnobirthing and Birth Coaching programs.

More Than a Food Bible for New Mothers
Postpartum is a Latin term meaning ‘after childbirth’. Postpartum recovery can range from a few days to a few weeks, months or years depending on the birth itself, and the integration of becoming a mother. Postpartum is the least supported aspect of birth at present, as most of the focus is currently on fertility, conception, pregnancy, and of course, labour and birth itself.
Postpartum is the time when illnesses can arise, immunity can drop, fatigue can set in, loneliness can be felt, and of course, postpartum depression or depletion can occur.
This is a postpartum bible. Pass it on to those who will hold you in your newborn stages and ensure that it is read, reread, and then used to create edible delicacies that can sustain you in the darkest of nights and the earliest of hours to ensure that you too are nourished in your new passage as Mother.

At Creation Cacao we are focused on providing affordable, high quality Cacao to every day Australian’s. So that everyone from all walks of life can access the transformative health and mood benefits of this amazing super-food.
Not all cacao is equal. Many commercial varieties, even those labeled organic, can contain higher levels of caffeine, as they are a particular more commercial variaty of cacao. In contrast, Creation Cacao is lower in caffeine, making it a safe choice for those expecting.
Pregnant women are often advised to avoid caffeine. The Criollo seeds of Creation Cacao provide a gentle energy boost without the jitters of coffee or sugary snacks. It contain all nutrients, including magnesium, theobromines, and antioxidants, which can offer significant support throughout pregnancy.
