ethos
To work alongside you through the transition into parenthood. Not to 'fix', but to help you feel more held, understood and less alone.
I’m Erin, a perinatal psychologist based on the Sunshine Coast, supporting parents through pregnancy and early parenthood.
Navigating the adjustment to parenthood and the emotional complexities that come with this season of life.
If things feel heavier than you expected, or not quite like you thought they would, you’re not alone in that.
You don’t have to wait until things feel at their hardest to be supported.
It's not just baby who is changing . It's not just baby who is changing . It's not just baby who is changing . It's not just baby who is changing . It's not just baby who is changing . It's not just baby who is changing .
Take a moment to pause here
Hi, I am Erin
I’m a perinatal psychologist and mother of three.
My work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience. In the quiet moments, the overwhelming ones, and everything in between.
I found my way into this work through a deep recognition of how much the transition into parenthood can hold. Not just in meeting your baby, but in meeting parts of yourself that feel unfamiliar, shifting, or harder to find.
I’m particularly passionate about supporting parents through the emotional and identity changes that come with this season; including adjustment to parenthood, birth experiences, overwhelm, and the often unspoken parts of becoming a parent.
My approach is gentle, reflective, and grounded in self-compassion, mindfulness, and understanding.
Because this isn’t just about supporting your baby.
It’s about supporting you, too.

Our first year of you
So much of the first year passes in a blur. The days are full of learning, growing, and the quiet, messy moments in between the milestones.
I created this journal from my own experience. I found so much more compassion for myself the more I reflected on day to day moments of gratitude.
This journal is a gentle way to pause, to notice, and to capture the moments, both big and small.
Holding and celebrating your experience alongside your baby’s.
A place to return to, long after this season has passed.
To share their whole story with them as they grow. Not just the highlights.
