About

Hi, I’m Jess

I am a Midwife, Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner, Lactation Consultant, Wife, and Mother of three. I have worked with women and their families in the maternity setting for the last 16 years in both the public and private sectors.

My personal experience of birthing and breastfeeding was mixed. My first child was breech, and after 12 hours of labour, he was born via caesarean. I birthed my daughter in the bath two years later and although I was immensely proud, her birth had been full of fear and doubt. For my third birth, I decided to use hypnobirthing. With the support of my husband and the knowledge we had gained through the Hypnobirthing Australia™ positive birth program, I was able to birth free of fear and full of confidence.

Feeding my babies was not always easy either with all three being born with tongue ties. Unfortunately, I was also predisposed to mastitis and had many episodes of this with each baby. Through the difficult times with feeding, I relied on the support and guidance of a Lactation Consultant and my Midwife colleagues. With their help, I was able to overcome the difficulties that I faced and enjoy a long and happy breastfeeding experience with all of my children.

I am passionate about supporting families to have the sort of empowering birth and breastfeeding experience that I enjoyed with my third baby. My focus is on creating a safe and positive environment in which families can learn the skills they need to embrace birthing, breastfeeding, and parenting with confidence and joy.  

From Little Things offers one-on-one hypnobirthing classes in your home. We also have packages that incorporate breastfeeding support pre and post-birth to ensure you are prepared for what lies ahead. If you don’t require hypnobirthing classes, you can also book a stand-alone consultation for breastfeeding support at any time either in your home or via Skype or phone.
