Hello! My name is Alethea, I'm from Australia and I'd be so happy to know you!

I've been really lucky in that I've backpacked through Central America, a bit of North Africa and the Middle East, Europe, South Asia. I grew up in Australia and I've lived in Turkey (I still daydream about those days), Costa Rica, Spain, and England for little specks here and there.

I have a Bachelors in International Relations which led me to different refugee camps. I started paying attention to the women there and witnessing their immense courage has heralded me back to university as a student midwife. In midwifery, and in all areas of life, I value Indigenous knowledge and know it's paramount to a healthy connection with the world around us, and of course, ourselves.

Again, I'd really love to know you! Hope we meet soon.
