"Sam is a walking placenta encyclopedia. Her knowledge is so in depth and well researched. She has an excellent balance of super friendly with super professional. She has always gone 'above and beyond' in helping me and has always been quick to respond to any questions that I've had.
I highly recommend her." K

I live a quiet life, raising my children and caring for Gold Coast families. I home educate, try to be as green as possible and live a healthy happy uncomplicated life.
I love the outdoors, camping, star gazing, swimming in the ocean and living free. I love all elements of design and sew, craft and make all manner of potions... if there's time between babies.
I've traveled around the world learnt a lot and have experienced several of my bucket list items. Many more to come and much more to know.
I believe birth is important, in both a mothers and her child's lives. I think it matters that you inform yourself about options and choices when you prepare to birth and beyond into parenting.
I believe you should stand up and fight for what is right for you, in birth and in life. I will stand up for anyone who needs an extra spark to their campaign (provided it's a good ethical one of course)!
I'm a support person through and through. I'm sadly also very experienced with loss, the facts are that not all life gets the time we would like and some don't have any time at all, I'm a loving professional support to help you with memories of your little loved one to keep for ever, a treasure that no one else can give.
I believe parenting is the most important thing you will ever do.
Loving, trusting relationships supported and nourished with positive experiences and environments from birth throughout childhood are essential in the quality of life and virtues you have as an adult. Giving us all more artists, ethical politicians, greater broader more individual educations, better ideas, greener happier healthier futures for all. I have one incredible adult child that I am so proud of, a truly amazing human and two that are moving through the stages of childhood and teenage-hood with grace. I am proud of my parenting and of them, they are my world.
I think a lot and have far too many ideas!

Gold Coast Grizzlys Ice Hockey Club
My father's parents owned an Ice Rink when I was a child. It was that magical place that was all ours! My cousins, my brother and I loved skating and playing there in the snow drift and all the hidden rooms, grabbing a bite in the canteen or a milk shake after hours of skating. Sometimes you got to sit up in the booth and play the records..... you were really lucky if Gran let you do that!
I loved going there to watch my Dad play Ice Hockey for the Red Wings, Black Hawks, Falcons and Boomerangs. The smell of the wood, rubber and ice is the best smell in the world bar newborn babies!
So many fond memories for me that I taught my children to ice skate here on the Gold Coast and now they too play Ice Hockey and me well I couldn't resist being a part of all that again!
And please know this is a unisex sport, some of our best players are girls! Including my amazing daughter, the Gold Coasts only junior Goalie!
