10km Hike For Gidget

I've signed up to walk 10km for ‘Hike for Gidget’ and you can help too!

I have made it my new life’s MISSION to be an advocate for shining the light on postnatal depression to strip away the stigma, misconceptions and fear surrounding it...so that ALL women feel comfortable in speaking up and reaching out for help. 

1 in 7 women have Postnatal Depression and 1 in 5 women have PNDA...and I want to spend my life raising awareness, sharing my story, drawing upon my pharmacist, Ayurveda, yoga teaching and paediatric massage consulting knowledge to help ALL women navigate through their journey with ease and grace.

On November 13 during Perinatal Mental Health Week, I am joining the hike to help fundraise much-needed funds so Gidget Foundation Australia can support expectant and new parents right across the country.

Your support by donating will help our most vulnerable parents to not suffer in silence and to access the help and resources they need during such a difficult and unspoken time in their lives. 

Let us change the conversation and landscape so not one more woman or family has to suffer in silence x

Raising awareness

Sunday 7th Nov
As a pharmacist I knew all the signs and symptoms in ‘theory’...but being thrown into the trenches upon waking up on day 5 post birth with both of boys...I realised that if someone who knows about biochemistry can be thrown down then it can completely blindside anyone too! 

My mission is now to shine the light on a condition riddled with so much darkness...so that everyone can know what it looks and feels like...so that not one more woman or family needs to suffer silently hoping it will ‘go away’ on its own. 

I want to smash through the stigma, taboo, misconceptions and fear surrounding it...so that the entire landscape changes! 

If women can speak up as openly as they would if they had pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes...without the heaviness, layers of guilt, shame...embarrassment...then THAT is my ultimate hope from all of this x
