Gentle, compassionate support for women & partners navigating fertility issues, loss, pregnancy & birth trauma. Perinatal experiences can bring unexpected worry, doubt & exhaustion. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, alone, or quietly carrying grief & unanswered questions around your perinatal experience? Are you trying hard to hold everything together & thinking "I can’t keep doing this on my own. I need help"? Do you need somewhere you can catch your breath, feel understood, & get the support you need? At your pace? I’ve been there, feeling the weight. I get it. I want you to know that you don't have to do this alone.
What makes working with me different? I integrate my lived experience, with specialist perinatal & grief training, evidence-based therapies like EMDR, somatic practices & meditation. It isn’t a one-size-fits-all space; it’s a space where you can be yourself, feel what you need to feel, & find real, honest support that resonates with where you are right now.
Let me be that safe space to breathe, to support, understand & empower you during this hard time. Please know you don’t need to have all the answers to start. I can help you find your way & make sense of your world. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here. Whether you have questions, or are looking for one-on-one support, I’m just a message away. x

Kerryn is so passionate about working within the perinatal space & comes with years of experience within this area. As a colleague it is a pleasure to work along side her. I wish that I had met her when I was trying to conceive and travelling that journey.

I love using EMDR therapy to help process those "stuck" memories and bring back a sense of peace, acceptance and normality to your life. During our initial sessions we get to know each other and what has brought you to my office. Then we gently explore and target specific events and process them and decrease the body sensations, emotions and thoughts attached. It's amazing. Call me to ask me how!
