Who am I?
Hi, I'm Brielle.
I am an experienced Social Worker, with over 20 years supporting women and mothers, with a focus on fertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, postpartum, motherhood, women's health and life transitions for the past six years.
My approach is evidence‑based, trauma‑informed, matrescence informed, and grounded in a strong knowledge of perinatal and motherhood focused education and experience.
Most importantly to me, I am a mum of four, wife, stepmum and dog mum. I am also a mum with ADHD, so I understand the challenges that this can sometimes add to motherhood.
