Hello from the leafy Northern Rivers! As you can see, I’ve had a website and branding update, a little refresh as part of the new start we’ve made on this move to Northern NSW. My family and I are now settled and (mostly) unpacked in a lovely house in Lismore. We’re...
Breastfeeding and Postpartum Care
Navigating life with a new baby is beautiful, but also overwhelming at times! Keeping yourself healthy during this time, and having support for everything from energy levels to milk supply can make a significant difference to you and your family.
Nourish the Mother
I wrote an article recently, for Mouths of Mums, on the importance of nourishing mothers. A topic I feel very passionate about! Why? Because... Oftentimes, when it comes to self-care, nurturing and support, mothers miss out. Not on purpose, not by design, but often by...
Pyrmont drop-in baby clinic
Have a baby? Based in the inner city / inner west? This news is for you: we've started a free drop-in baby clinic in Pyrmont. There are very few of these in this part of Sydney, so we (me / MamaCare / ChiroHQ) wanted to offer this service for our local mums, dads and...
Could you use a naturopath?
A lot of people I talk to have no idea what I do, or how it might be relevant to their life and health. They aren't sure what naturopathy is and/or why they would see someone like me. That's fair enough. If you haven't experienced it before, holistic medicine can seem...
Kinderling Conversation: Postpartum

The New Mama Survey
I'm in the midst of such a cool project at the moment. I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, however - and I apologise for being annoying - while we're in development I can't give away too many details. I still have a lot more work to do! Essentially, though, it's...
Post Baby Body
Having a baby changes your body. Fact. You fall pregnant. Your belly swells, your boobs swell, sometimes your feet, hands and other body parts too... but still it's glorious, because you're full of BABY. Then you give birth. You hold this magical child in your arms....
Let’s talk about: maternity pads
Last year I wrote a post on why we should talk about tampons: what we're using, what's in it and how this can affect our health. It's an important topic, as most of us will use tampons and/or pads every month that we menstruate, for decades of our life. Now, however,...
