About Me

Cycle-Breaker, Truth-Seeker, and Sacred Birthkeeper

I would love to say that I have never been one to blindly accept what I was taught—especially when it comes to my body, my health, and birth. But I would be lying. However, over a decade ago, I began questioning the norms passed down to us, peeling back the layers of conditioning, and bringing my shadows to light. Radical change comes naturally to me because I’ve had to challenge societal expectations time and time again. And not once have I regretted it.

For years, I lived in fear of my body. Studying "health" at a University level also did not help either. It was quite disempowering and bred a lot of fear. I booked countless doctor visits, convinced something was always wrong, never realizing that I was simply disconnected from my own wisdom. I silenced my body’s whispers, suppressing symptoms instead of listening to them—until one day, I decided to do things differently. I started questioning everything. I unlearned, I re-learned, and I reconnected. And when I finally trusted my body, I experienced what I had been missing all along—deep empowerment, healing, and alignment.

My courage to choose differently led me to my most powerful, embodied experiences—giving birth in water, at home, in full trust of my body’s innate wisdom. It wasn’t "conventional," but it was sacred. Ancestral. Natural. And while I faced criticism, I walked in my truth, knowing that birth is meant to be undisturbed, intuitive, and sovereign.

Now, I guide other women on this path—helping them break cycles, reclaim their power, and embrace birth, true health, and womanhood as the sacred rites of passage they are meant to be.

The Mission

At Her Sacred Cradle, I guide women to embrace holistic preconception health and transformative birth experiences by connecting deeply with their bodies and the wisdom of the female pelvis. The pelvis is a sacred keeper of answers to emotional well-being, reproductive and digestive health, and overall vitality. My approach is grounded in four pillars:

The 4 Pillars of Her Sacred Cradle

Divine Trust & Surrender
At the heart of all transformation is trust—trust in our bodies, our wombs, and the divine orchestration of life itself. Surrendering to this wisdom allows us to move beyond fear and reclaim the sacred flow of birth, motherhood, and womanhood.
Truth & Courage
Walking the path of truth requires immense courage. It means breaking generational cycles, questioning narratives that strip us of our power, and boldly choosing a new way forward for ourselves and our families. This is the call of the cycle-breaker—one who reclaims her voice, her body, and her birthright.
Womb Wisdom & Embodiment
Our wombs are portals of creation, holding the imprints of our ancestors and the power to shape the future. By reconnecting with our cyclical nature, embracing the divine feminine, and honouring the sacred knowledge within, we restore balance and sovereignty over our own health, birth, and lineage.
Radical Reclamation of Sacred Womanhood & Birth
Birth is not a medical event—it is a rite of passage, a deeply spiritual initiation into motherhood. This pillar is about fiercely reclaiming birth as sacred, normalizing undisturbed physiological birth, and protecting it from systems that unecessarily seek to control it. To reclaim womanhood is to reclaim birth, intuition, and the wisdom carried in our bones.

Her Sacred Cradle is a homecoming—a return to the ancient knowing that has always lived within us.

I help to guide you to nurturing the root and sacral chakras, the energetic centres of creativity, trust, and intuition, to help you prepare for empowered births and motherhood transitions. Whether optimizing menstrual health, fertility, or emotional balance, my services offer holistic support for every stage of womanhood.
