MEET THE FOUNDER

Andrea Buckler

Andrea is a passionate midwife, birth educator, and pelvic release practitioner with nearly a decade of experience supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Since 2018, she has worked across diverse settings — from the fast-paced environment of a tertiary hospital birth suite to midwifery group practice and as a certified Calmbirth® educator.

Her work has been deeply shaped by the stories of women — stories of grief, tenderness, frustration, resilience, and strength. These shared experiences have fueled Andrea’s commitment to advocate, empower, and educate through a blend of clinical knowledge, body-based wisdom, and trauma-informed care.

Andrea believes the pelvic tissues and structures are central to a woman’s wellbeing and should be treated with the utmost respect. Her holistic pelvic release work is designed to prepare and soothe the body during pregnancy, support pelvic alignment, ease discomfort, and reduce tension — often improving birth outcomes, postpartum recovery and ultimately creating positive birth experiences.

    Andrea is the perfect person for this role; her explanations made me feel well informed of all my options so we can now make decisions about what will suit our needs most. My husband also feels well prepared of what to expect as well as all the variations of normal that may occur. You’ve completely changed my mindset from feeling apprehensive to now excited about birth.

    I am actually finding it difficult to express how beneficial this course was. Andrea is a phenomenal educator and completely reshaped my perceptions of birth. I completed the course feeling extremely empowered and confident. The support provided by Andrea was exceptional and I have already passed her details on to my GP to recommend to other pregnant women.
