'This Doctor's Life'

As an integrative GP obstetrician, medical educator, researcher, wife and mother...

I invite you to explore my collection of ponderings on pregnancy & motherhood,

what health and wellness mean to me, the value of self-care and other insights from my daily life.

These compositions have manifested as a consequence of reflecting on what I have learnt in my career, and life, so far. I have many teachers and mentors to thank for their inspiration and instruction, for without them I would not be sharing these contemplations with you.

May you find something useful, thought-provoking or even humorous in my offerings. Enjoy!
