About Me
I am Emilie. I am a qualified counsellor, art therapist and early childhood educator.
I am a member of the ACA Australian Counselling Association , IICT International Institute for Complementary Therapists and of Psychology Today.
How I Can Help You
I believe in a world in which all women are aligned with their feminine wisdom so as they are free, creative and joyful.
I provide counselling, education, art therapy, workshops and services that reconnect women to their truth, creative expression, innate power and wisdom.
I help women develop their art of self advocacy, and increasing their sense of freedom and peace.
My training and experience specialised in helping women crossing life changing events, particularly around pregnancy, birth the perinatal period and recovery.
Birth Counselling
Birth counselling can help you to feel confident and resilient while facing the challenges, the change and unknown of pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
General counselling can help you to:
- express your feelings and thoughts
- gain insights into your challenges
- identify patterns in your behaviour
- develop coping strategies
- improve your emotional wellbeing
- navigate life transition and make decision
I also have the privilege to be able to share my services in two languages: in English or French.
My Story
I was very lucky to be born and to have spent the first 25 years of my life in France in the beautiful Alps. I spent lots of time in nature and the mountains gifted me an incredible inner strength. My personal journey really deepened as I walked through the path of motherhood.
I gave birth to 4 babies. Each birth impacted me profoundly and transformed me. I learnt from my first birth to stand up for my rights, while facing a complex scenario of birth, to be with the unknown, to release and open. The following 2 pregnancies ended early with 2 miscarriages. I felt devastated. Those 2 births taught me a lot about myself, my worthiness and my values.I learnt to accept death, to accept life the way it is, to be humble, to surrender and surrender even more. My fourth baby was born at home with my husband, my son and my friend. I had chosen a freebirth. I received the gift of trust. I learnt to be free, to choose and take entire responsibility for my birth and life choices.
My interest in and passion for understanding the rite of passage of birth and motherhood and its power for transformation continuously grows in me and I feel a deep call and responsibility to assist mothers in their own journey.

I work with your intention and have a ‘person centred’ approach which focuses on your emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
This approach is dynamic, requiring your active participation.
Podcast
This podcast aligns with the beautiful nature of birth and transformation. Listen to Emilie as she shares interesting lessons about what comes up for her during her birth experiences.
To support a customized emotional and sacred approach of birth and pregnancy.
Birth sets the foundations of love, attachment and trust for life.
Be fully aware of your fears and how they impact the choices you are making, and release them. Clear the way to allow and welcome authenticity and responsibility.
There is spirit and sacredness in birth. This is true for every birth (this includes miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, difficult or traumatic birth experience).
Birth is a peak experience that touches you and transforms you. Let’s take the time to honor that process.
The work I did with Emilie was incredibly profound. I was seeking a shift in myself, and a deeper understanding of my life and deeper understanding of pregnancy. Emilie supported me in all these areas. She supported me to journey within, so I could understand myself in ways that I needed to prepare for my next baby. She introduced me to a whole new way of seeing pregnancy and birth and it was because of her I chose to have a home birth which turned out to be one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

Rather than tolerate my role of motherhood, working with Emilie helped me to uncover some of the unexpected superpowers that came to me by being a mum – like validating feelings (my own and others) and finding my voice. Now I move forward through the world strongly and confidently. Emilie has a wealth of resources to create a ceremony that is tailored to your needs and intent.
