About

About Me: I am a stay at home Mum to 3 gorgeous children, from 10years to 3years, and wife to a supportive husband.

I have carried all my children to some degree, however it was during my pregnancy with our 3rd child, and when I realised that I would most likely have another unsettled reflux baby, that I got really serious and knew I would need the help of carriers to get through day to day life with 2 older children. And well, the rest has been well documented on a couple of facebook groups over the time!

I joined the then Babywearing Southland (now Invercargill Babywearing Community) and started volunteering at meets, and then took on a committee role also. This was the place that really introduced me to the many different styles of carrying, and opened my eyes to the many possibilities. I now co lead this volunteer community support group and love helping enable families to share the experience.

I did my first lot of training with Slingababy, as a peer supporter, and was blessed with the opportunity to do the inaugural Slingababy NZ Consultant Training Course, in April 2017. I achieved my goal of completing my Slingababy training in March 2018, this was a big part of my focus in 2017.

I am really excited to add the WellSouth Breastfeeding Peer Supporter Course to my list of training, which means I am now able to offer free breastfeeding support as part of the wider Breastfeeding SOS Southland network.

I started Woven Womb to share my passion, but also in the hope that I can help other families figure out what carriers can offer for them, be it a long term love, or short term help during a holiday or surgery.

And finally, many thanks to all the amazing and wonderful people who have, and who do, provide me with the love and support I need, the road worth traveling is never easy. xx
