I’m Emily, founder of Bloom Birth
Through gentle, individualised support, I help women find understanding for their story, compassion for themselves and a renewed sense of peace, confidence and wholeness as they continue their journey.
Every Birth Story Deserves to Be Heard
Birth is one of the most transformative experiences a woman can have, one that echoes into every part of her motherhood journey, and impacts the family as a whole. My mission is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for women (and their partners) to prepare for pregnancy or birth, explore their birth experience and process the myriad of thoughts and feelings that arise during this time.
In a society that often overlooks the profound physical, emotional and spiritual journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, it’s sadly no surprise that so many women feel overwhelmed, unsupported and unseen. In Australia, 1 in 5 women experience perinatal depression or anxiety, and 1 in 3 describe their birth as traumatic, a reflection of just how deeply the current system can fail mothers and their families. At the heart of my work is a desire to change this — to ensure women feel truly seen, validated, understood and empowered; to support them in reconnecting with their inner strength, processing their experiences and emerge feeling whole. Supporting a woman as she heals and reclaims her sense of self, and witnessing the ripple effect this has on her relationships, her family and the way she shows up in the world, is one of my greatest privileges.
Whether you are preparing for what’s to come, or seeking to make sense of your birth and it’s impact on your parenting journey, this space is for you. In our work together, every story is held with care, every feeling is welcome and nothing is too much. Through gentle, individualised support, I help women find understanding for their story, compassion for themselves and a renewed sense of peace, confidence and wholeness as they continue their journey.
My journey
With over a decade of experience as a social worker and counsellor, I’ve always been passionate about supporting others to be their best selves. Over the past five years, my focus deepened into birth — through study, doula training, and birth debrief facilitator training — and I discovered how empowering it is when women have the space to be heard and held, especially when it comes to birth. It is my privilege to hold this space for women and their partners.
I practice from a client-centred, strength based and trauma informed lens, and bring a warm, non judgemental and empathetic approach, where your story is honoured, your emotions validated and your wisdom respected. I view you as the expert of your own experience, and my role is to provide personalised care that supports your healing and empowerment.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me soaking up sunshine by the ocean, exploring nature on bushwalks, indulging in delicious nourishing food or planning my next adventure with my husband and our two darling kiddos.
I’m here to walk alongside you through your birth journey — to listen, to hold space, and to help you find peace and confidence every step of the way.
