Redefining postpartum for a struggling mum

Are you ready to ditch the confusion and finally feel confident as a parent?

You want to give your baby the best start but you are drowning in conflicting advice. You are trying your best but you still can’t help but be filled with doubt.

Support that honours your bond, not breaks it.

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.

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. And guess what? My baby thrived too. 

Now it is my mission to provide parent’s like you tools to adapt to the rapidly changing challenges of parenting, while keeping their relationship with their baby at the center.

A few of my favourite things…

Plant-based food

Relaxing at the beach 🏖️

Long walks in nature 💚

Wild New Zealand Bush 🌳

My morning coffee ☕

Spending time with my daughter 👶

I believe…

Babies and children thrive when they feel understood, loved, and safe with parent’s that are attuned to their needs.

The world would be a better place if parents were given access to good, evidence-based knowledge on what their babies and children need to truly thrive.

More resources and funding should be going in to supporting our parent’s and babies if we want to support the wellbeing of the next generation.
