Hi! I’m Ella.
As a registered midwife and maternal & child health nurse with extensive experience in public, private, and community health settings, I've come to understand that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Through both personal and professional experiences, I've learned that welcoming a new family member involves a period of adjustment for everyone involved. I believe that children benefit from imperfect parenting and that aiming for ‘good enough’ is exactly where you need to be-not perfection. The feelings of isolation that many women experience after birth have taught me the importance of professional support during the early days and weeks.
My practice is centered on holding space with empathy and compassion, recognizing the impact of past experiences on parenting and attachment. I use a women-centered, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach to empower parents as they transition into their new roles.
My expertise spans midwifery, maternal & child health, sexual health, perinatal mental health, and intensive care nursing.
