HEy, I’m jess!

A wildly passionate hot mess of a mum and midwife.

I jumped straight out of high school as a little teenybopper and into midwifery, thanks to Call the Midwife and One Born Every Minute. Once I finished my Bachelor of Midwifery degree I married my childhood sweetheart and have worked as a midwife ever since!

I’ve spent some time working across all areas of maternity care from birth unit to Midwifery Group Practise for the last 8 years and in that time have become slightly obsessed with helping unlock the badass birther in all of us. Our societies best kept secret is how strong women are and how incredibly designed are bodies are to birth and nurture our babes!

Cub & Kin was born (with my bestie Kat, of course) out of the desire to bust the myth that its all too hard! Birth is big and tough, yes—but we are stronger! However you want your birth to look—whether its an ocean birth with the dolphins or an elective c-section—I want to help you reclaim your power in the birth and early parenting space, so you enter parenthood with all the strength and wisdom a positive birth experience can give us.

I braved the cultural norms and chose to have 2 homebirths, the first was long and SO hard and the second was short and hard. Both were incredible and life changing. I know first hand how transformative and chaotic this journey can be. Don’t be fooled by the fancy head shots—I am a hot mess 99% of the time!

Being a proudly neurospicy mum means I am a major oversharer—telling you how birth and motherhood really is, in all of its messy, raw and wonderful fullness.

I would love to be a part of your epic journey, seeing you transform into the badass birthers and parents you were built to be!

  • "We came to the classes fairly confident in our own knowledge of birth and left even more empowered and ready to face labour head on! The classes were the perfect space for my partner and I to have intentional discussions about our birth & parenting plans, & practice support techniques."

  • "It was such a relaxed and fun learning environment. Their wisdom and experience was evident through what they presented and their answers for my many questions. I am so glad that I got to do the course with them and am feeling more prepared for birth than I thought I could be."
