Bio
Hi there! My name is Alicen (pronounced Alison), and I’m excited to share a little bit about myself with you. First and foremost, I’m a proud Mum to five amazing kids – they keep me busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m also a midwife and lucky enough to live and work in the beautiful NSW South Coast. When I’m not working, you can find me with my husband soaking up the sun on the white sands of Jervis Bay.
But enough about me – let’s talk about my passion: empowering women. I truly believe that with the right antenatal preparation, you can feel confident in your choices and decisions, and that’s why I chose Hypnobirthing Australia for my business, La Luna Tides Midwifery Services. I’m here to offer the tools, resources and knowledge to women to help provide the best possible birth experience, regardless of the mode of birth.
And let me tell you, the name of my business holds a special place in my heart. La Luna Tides was inspired by my own pregnancies and births. Each of my children was born spontaneously at night, and my surges felt like how waves at the beach form (You see it forming, it peaks, you see it leaving). La Luna is Spanish/Italian for ‘the moon,’ and, just as the moon controls the tides, some believe it also affects our own cycles. So, there you have it – a little insight into my life and passion.
