“You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just need the right people beside you.”
Rebecca Black
Bec is a registered psychologist whose work includes perinatal mental health, matrescence, and supporting women through pregnancy, birth and the transition to parenthood. She helps women through the big feelings that so often arrive together: joy and grief, excitement and fear, love and overwhelm. She believes these feelings are normal and deserve to be met with compassion, never judged.
Bec’s approach is warm, practical and grounded in the belief that you don’t have to be perfect, only good enough. Her work draws on evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, compassion-focused therapy and mindfulness. She’s also a HypnoBirthing practitioner and the founder of The Mindful Birth Movement, and she’s passionate about maternity care that is informed, personalised and centred on what women actually need.
Before focusing on perinatal work, Bec worked with elite athletes and in high-pressure public sector settings, which taught her a great deal about resilience, pressure and how to support people when the stakes feel high.
Bec is also a business owner and a mum who knows that every woman needs a village. Creating Gracie Health with Carla is her way of building one.
