My Story
I am an educator, advocate, practitioner, and speaker who bridges trauma-inform designed spaces, children’s places, and also birth environments with brain, neuroscientific and environmental psychological knowledge. I hold a PhD in Health from the University of Technology Sydney, where I penned “The Childbirth Supporter Study: Video-ethnographic examination of the physical birth unit environment.”
In 2024, I co-authored Trauma-informed Design: A Framework for Designers, Architects, and Other Practitioners with the the TiD Society Leadership Team.
