Empowering confident & connected journeys through childbirth & matrescence


Meet Chloe

I’m Chloe, a blend of preconception guide, birth enthusiast, and postpartum mentor, I'm here to bring warmth, understanding, and a touch of magic to your path.
My narrative began with a Bachelor of Nursing/Midwifery at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia, back in 2013. From the bustling corridors of major tertiary hospitals to the intimate spaces of smaller public ones, and even a stint in the private sector, I've been a steady presence for families navigating the beautiful complexities of parenthood.
In 2019, I realized the limits of the clinical setting – a 15-minute antenatal appointment or a brief encounter in the birthing unit barely scratched the surface of the profound matrescence journey. This realization propelled me to break free from these constraints.
In the realms of hypnobirthing, postpartum doula work, life coaching, and holistic support methods, I found my calling. More than clinical support, I wanted to offer a sanctuary of warmth, understanding, and empowerment in every interaction.
The birth of my business in 2020 became a haven. Here, I've guided countless couples through the Hypnobirthing Australia™ / Hypnobubs International Positive Birth Course, mentored families, and cultivated a community that goes beyond the clinical walls.
I've also had the privilege of mentoring other birthworkers, guiding fellow midwives, and supporting perinatal specialists in their own preparation for birth and beyond. My journey isn't just about individuals; it's about fostering a community of passionate, informed, and empowered birth advocates.

In 2022, my journey took a new chapter as I moved from the sun-soaked landscapes of Australia to embrace the vibrant spirit of Brighton in the United Kingdom. Currently, I'm passionately working towards deepening my understanding of Matrescence so that I may bringing my unique blend of experience and holistic support to this new community.
Having navigated the intricate terrains of specialty areas like the Special Care Nursery and the Women’s Emergency Department, I've witnessed the highs and lows. This journey has given me a unique perspective – one that understands the intricacies without being confined by them.
