Our Story
Whether you are conceiving, growing a little person, navigating those first 12 months or beyond, there are many bumps in the road. As experienced psychologists and as mothers ourselves, we connect with the truths and realities of pregnancy, birthing, motherhood and juggling family and career. We can provide you with practical strategies and emotional support for those less-than-easy times along the journey into and through motherhood.
We’ve been inspired by the idea that by investing in the wellbeing of women we can enhance the wellbeing of your family, your relationships and community.
