I’m Dusk
She / Her
I am a neurodivergent, queer (#bi) mother living on Bunurong Land in Melbourne’s west.
I come from a lineage of strength, love and joy.
I am a survivor of childhood sexual assault and complex PTSD, showing up here as a peer support.
I am a birth support and postpartum professional, as well as a matrescence coach.
I bring a gentle approach, informed by my training as a spiritual companion and contemplative circle facilitator.
Mix all of this together and you get a trauma-sensitive maternal care provider and peer support for people who have experienced trauma or are survivors of sexual assault.
Whilst it may sound heavy, there is so much resilience, joy and healing in this space.
