Postpartum Recovery
Welcome
Postpartum is a unique period in a woman’s life. She experiences many changes, internally and externally – and they are profound. While navigating the depletion of pregnancy and birth we are still facing 24 hour days, hormonal swings, emotional shifts, changing identity, relationship challenges and days that are never the same. It’s easy (and common!) to feel overwhelmed and uncertain.
This resource is aimed at sharing some information and practical tips so that you can approach this time feeling empowered and prepared for what’s ahead. I want to reduce the overwhelm so that you can bond with your baby and step into motherhood with confidence.

Sing High Sing Low – Singing for Mums & Bubs With Fiona Maria – Singing Facilitator, hearted-centred Community Builder
When was the last time you felt nourished and held?
Hi, I’m Fiona Maria, founder of Sing High Sing Low. I offer gentle, joyful singing spaces where women of all life stages can simply be. No pressure, no performance—just breath, song, and connection.
My Women’s Singing Circles run in Summer Hill, Bondi, and coming to Crows Nest in September. These are not your usual mothers’ groups. We gather in calm, welcoming spaces to sing simple songs learned by ear—soothing, repetitive melodies that settle the nervous system and invite us home to ourselves. We layer up some harmonies as the mood of the day takes us. Shy singers, “non singers” and karaoke divas are all welcome!
Together we (re) connect to our voices and ourselves.
How it’s different to other “mums & bubs” groups
Many baby classes focus on entertaining your child. This is different. These sessions nourish you, the mother, the woman. When you’re calm, connected, and resourced, everyone benefits. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and able to manage what life throws at us.
Women’s Singing Circle is open to women of all life stages—because we know it takes a village, but we don’t always know where to find one!
Why Singing with Your Baby Matters
Long before language, babies are wired to respond to your voice. Singing regulates their heart rate, lowers stress, and builds secure attachment.
And it helps you too—singing reduces anxiety, lifts your mood, and brings a deep sense of connection.
This is not a performance. It’s a practice—one that is a timeless part of the human experience. For generations, mothers sang to soothe their children, mark daily rhythms, and build community. But in our modern world, this shared singing culture has been lost. I’m here to help bring it back.
A Little About Me
I’ve spent over 20 years singing, performing, and facilitating voice work in community and workplace settings. As a trained Singing Mamas leader, I bring a model rooted in care, inclusion, and the science of sound and wellbeing.
You’re warmly invited. Come with little ones—or just as you are.
Learn about the support you didn't know you needed.
We have cherry picked the most useful resources for your fourth trimester so that you don't have to waste precious hours searching.

Jamu Postnatal Massage: The Nurturing Tradition Every New Mother Should Experience For Deep Recovery
This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes

Tips to avoid maternal burnout
Perfectionism is not a healthy habit. Even less so when it comes to motherhood, unless you’re keen to rub shoulders with overwhelm, resentment, rage and the feeling of never being satisfied, which can eventually lead to maternal burnout.
