Wildflower Psychology provides specialised therapy and psychological support for women and all individuals navigating reproductive health and hormonal life transitions. Our evidence-based, holistic approach addresses experiences from fertility and pregnancy through postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, as well as the broader mental and physical health challenges commonly experienced during these life stages.
With particular expertise in maternal mental health, we compassionately support mothers and birthing individuals during pregnancy, after childbirth and through the transition back to professional life and beyond. Our practice honours each person’s unique path while offering professional support during times of profound change, empowering you to navigate each life stage with self-compassion and wellbeing.

Kia ora,
Welcome to Wildflower Psychology. As a registered psychologist and mother of two boys, I’ve created a practice that supports women through life’s most significant transitions.
My work embraces the transformative journey of motherhood and matrescence, while providing specialised psychological support for individuals navigating perimenopause and menopause. I offer evidence-based psychological interventions for the physical, cognitive, and emotional dimensions of midlife transitions, alongside care for anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship struggles, returning to work, birth trauma and pelvic health concerns.
I believe true wellbeing (hauora) requires looking at the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. That’s why I collaborate with physiotherapists, health coaches, GPs, and nutrition experts to create comprehensive support tailored specifically to you.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting. I create a warm, judgement-free environment where your experiences are heard and validated. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies that honour your unique circumstances and move you toward a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Every person’s journey is different. Rather than applying one-size-fits-all approaches, I draw from evidence-based therapies and current research to create a personalised path forward that respects your individual needs, values and goals.
