I align with the term ‘Sisu’ through my Finnish heritage as well as the moments of adversity I have personally overcome.

Lived experience and a deep interest in neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism…) and the life stage shift of Perimenopause has found me exploring the impact on women, specifically of the Gen X generation “The Lost Generation”.

Through my experience of pregnancy loss, twin pregnancy, premature birth and subsequent NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) experience I have developed a deep personal understanding and empathy for the challenges surrounding pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum life.

After moving to Australia from Canada I decided to add sleep consulting and counselling to my nursing background. My current passion is finding ways to incorporate Therapeutic Horticulture and Expressive Art Therapy into my practice.

I enjoy renovating our 80 year old home as well as spending time with my husband, adult daughters and friends.
