Hello! I live in Melbourne with my husband Jonathan. We have three little boys aged 9, 7 and 4. I have a Masters in Public Health with a major in Women’s Health.

Over the past 6 years, I have been pursuing my dreams building a resource and business that I am very proud of. Through creating the Australian Birth Stories podcast I have had the opportunity to team up with some incredible brands and companies and there is nothing I love more than a really great collaboration.

This guide gives you all the background information you need in order to decide if you want to partner with Australian Birth Stories.

I look forward to working together.

The Podcast

After a difficult first birth with my son Niko, I tried to skill myself up with as much information as possible to prepare myself for a the birth of my second child. With a two year old toddler and a part time job I found myself listening to podcasts and trying to find and listen to all things birth related. I discovered some great resources but they were all American. I wanted to hear about births in Australia.

In May 2017 I decided to start my own podcast and began by interviewing family and friends. The podcast grew very fast and I have now released 382 episodes and have 5000 women wanting to share their birth stories.

I have been thrilled with the sales and level of engagement with our collaborations.

I’ve loved working with Sophie to share the magic of using the TENS Machine for pain relief in labour. Our Australian Birth Stories campaigns have been our most profitable to date with a 6x return on investment and over 250 sales. I have purchased 4 podcast ads to date and have run 2 competitions on instagram.

I have been thrilled with the sales and level of engagement with our collaborations. It was our first priority to book 6 ads for next year, the Australian Birth Stories podcast and lnstagram will be a big part of our marketing campaign for 2021.
