Lou was so eager to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood herself, that she was pregnant with her first daughter Matilda, at her Graduation Ceremony in November 2017! Matilda was born in July 2018.
Lou married her husband Dirk in 2019 in her hometown of Richmond, before welcoming their second daughter, Poppy, who was born in January 2021.
Lou commenced work at TasWomen in early 2022, where her passion for women's health shines. Lou loves supporting women during pregnancy and birth, supporting women's choices, mental health, high quality care, continuity of care as well as working alongside the team of skilled practitioners.
