Hi. I’m Virginia!

You could say I am both parts earth(l)y and spiritual, but I love to have a laugh and never take myself too seriously.

My life before kids was quite diverse – I worked in horticulture, bartending, nannying, and skateboard coaching, all while traveling the world. But it was when I discovered natural health and birth work that I truly found fulfillment. This led me to become a Herbalist, Nutritionist, Doula, Childbirth Educator, Holistic Bodyworker, and Photographer.

I’m passionate about my work and believe in continuously learning and upskilling to better serve women and their families that become my clients. Over the years, I’ve taken extensive training such as Spinning Babies® and Optimal Maternal Positioning, Holistic Pelvic Care, Mizan Therapy and Birth Healing. I also run Beer & Bubs workshops, where I help dads-to-be learn how to support their partners during childbirth.

I’m a Lifetime Member of Homebirth NSW and volunteer with both Homebirth Australia and Doula Network Australia.

My qualifications include the following:

  • Advanced Diploma of Western Herbal Medicine (incorporating: Certificate 1 Bush Flower Essences) [2005]
  • Diploma of Botanical Medicine [1999]
  • Diploma of Nutrition [2006]
  • Advanced Certificate of Iridology [2002]
  • Post-grad Certificate in Herbal Medicine: The Special Case of Pregnancy [2007]
  • Reiki Master [2007]
  • Doula Certificate [2006]
  • Angel Messenger Certificate Level 1 & 2 [2023]

(plus a bunch of other more recent pregnancy bodywork and birthy courses and workshops, which you will see on my doula page!)

I’m excited to help others achieve a healthier pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience by offering my expertise and a holistic “one stop shop” approach to women and their families.

On a more personal note, my husband and I have two active teenage boys, both of whom were conceived after following a natural preconception health program, and were both born naturally at home. I enjoy a wholefoods plant-based diet and love skateboarding, bodyboarding, swimming, gardening, live music, and dancing. More recently I’ve also completed courses in angel messaging to enhance my intuitive abilities and divine guidance.

But enough about me, I would love to know more about you. What makes you tick? What are your goals for your health, or for your pregnancy, birth or postpartum? What are your strengths and weaknesses, and how can we improve or maximise those to better facilitate a smoother and more empowering journey?

If you would like to experience a healthier existence, a more comfortable pregnancy, a more positive and enjoyable birth, a healthier baby and/or a smoother transition into parenthood, please get in contact with me so we can connect to see if we click.
