Nourish

Nourish begins with one simple question: What would nourish me right now?

Nourishment isn't just something we eat. It's the way we learn to care for ourselves.

Mariko the midwife smiles at the camera while leaning on a kitchen counter filled with various vegetables, herbs, and bowls of food. The kitchen has large windows and a rustic decor.
Fresh vegetables on a table including radishes, carrots, spinach, cilantro, and beets, along with a bowl of mushrooms and a small black bowl with dipping sauce and a wooden spoon.

This space is an invitation to come back to yourself. Together we'll explore nutrition, movement, rest, nervous system care and the science of what helps women truly thrive.

Telehealth Consultation

  • My telehealth clinic offers something many women don't receive: continuity with a private midwife who gets to know you throughout your pregnancy. From the comfort of your own home, you can book Medicare bulk-billed appointments as often as you need.

Testimonials

“I can’t express enough how incredible my experience was with Mariko for my first homebirth and third child. I felt completely supported, safe and confident in her care. She respected my wishes and empowered me to make informed decisions. Mariko’s knowledge and experience were deeply reassuring, and my homebirth was truly a magical experience. Her attention to detail—not only for my baby, but especially for me during postpartum—made all the difference. I learned so many valuable things that will stay with me for life and become wisdom I hope to pass down to my daughters one day. Thank you, Mariko, for being such an integral part of bringing our baby Skye into the world.”

— Anna Edwards

What a blessing to have had Mariko as our midwife. She was such a huge support throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. I felt myself to be in the hands of a trusted, experienced, caring and confident midwife, which allowed me to relax into the mystical realms of it all. She always respected my decisions while making sure I was fully informed, and her calm presence, wisdom and genuine loving care made all the difference. I felt deeply nurtured every step of the way and couldn’t recommend her more highly. I would choose Mariko again and again.”

— Anna & Jiro

“My husband and I had the blessing of having Mariko as our midwife for the pregnancy and birth of our daughter, and it was beyond an incredible experience. Mariko is such a devoted, loving and supportive person who truly listened to what I needed and desired. She offered such trust in my body and my capabilities as a birthing woman, and brought such care, tenderness, joy and presence while honouring the sacredness of the birthing space. Mariko carries such wisdom in the realms of pregnancy and birth, and we are so grateful for all she has done for our family.”
