Redefining postpartum for a struggling mum

Are you ready to thrive, not just survive?

Let’s be honest, you don’t just want to get through this period of your life in survival mode.

You want to feel like you are kicking ass at motherhood. You pictured this moment throughout your pregnancy, but it has not turned out how you imagined. 

My passion is helping mums like you thrive postpartum, feel empowered and overcome the challenges they are experiencing. 

I am here to provide you with the evidence-based tools society failed to give you sooner ❤️

My first 2 months as a new mum was one of the hardest. 

I wasn’t sure I was cut to be a mum. I struggled with the unrelenting demands placed on me as well the expectations I placed on myself.

But what made it worse was the constant, conflicting information I was being bombarded with on a daily basis, most of which I knew wasn’t true but it still left me doubting myself.

But then one day I decided to tune out all the conflicting advice I was getting from the internet, friends, family, and social media. I used my knowledge and training on infant biology and experimented with what my baby was needing. 

Everything switched. I felt empowered, relaxed, and I began to thrive as a mum. 

Now it is my mission to help mums with their challenges postpartum using the most up to date advice to guide them, alongside fostering their connection to their baby. 

A few of my favourite things…

Chocolate and ice-cream 🍦

Relaxing at the beach 🏖️

Long walks in nature 💚

Wild New Zealand Bush 🌳

A morning coffee ☕

Spending time with my daughter 👶

I believe…

Baby’s thrive best with safe, loving, connected environments in which to grow and develop.

The world would be a better place if issues that predominantly impacted women were given more time, energy and resources - there is a real lack of evidence-based support in the space of mums and baby’s right now.

Mums deserve evidence-based knowledge and support about their baby to help in an incredibly vulnerable and challenging time of life.
