Mums Matter Psychology

Lauren is an Endorsed Private Practice Midwife with an excellent reputation in Brisbane for supporting women and families as they journey to—and through—one of life’s most transformative transitions. She works with a whole-family approach, preparing parents not only for pregnancy and birth but also for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts that come with parenthood and welcoming a new baby.

As a First 1000 Days advocate and nervous system-certified practitioner, Lauren is passionate about equipping families with the tools to build healthy bonds and secure attachments, promoting positive early childhood experiences. This critical period lays the foundation for healthy infant brain development and long-term emotional wellbeing. Lauren empowers parents to connect with their own intuition rather than looking outside themselves for answers.

Lauren provides a variety of Medicare-rebatable appointment types, including:

• Pregnancy care for women alongside their chosen care provider – whether booked to birth through the public system or a private maternity hospital. Lauren is a strong advocate for collaborative models of care and can offer:

  • Shared care with private obstetricians across two clinics in Brisbane

  • Support as part of your care team alongside GPs or hospital clinics

• Birth Mapping appointments – helping you explore your preferences and decision points along the way

• Routine postnatal care – including mother and baby checks, breastfeeding support, perinatal wellbeing, and birth debriefing

• Postnatal in-home care packages – servicing inner north Brisbane and surrounds

• Baby Massage education – 1:1 sessions or private small groups for three or more friends

• Closing the Bones Ceremony – a deeply nurturing postpartum ritual rooted in traditional cultural practices, used to honour and support the profound transition into motherhood

In addition, Lauren offers ‘Mothering the Midwife’ Retreats, designed to support the wellbeing of those who hold this professional responsibility. These one-day retreats are created for nurses and midwives to reset their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and maintain balance to help prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.

Intuitive Mummas is a supportive mums group that nurtures connection, education, and community during the postpartum journey.

We offer weekly sessions featuring expert guest speakers, relaxed conversation, and a safe, inclusive space where mums can feel seen, supported, and understood — because motherhood was never meant to be done alone.

What to Expect at an Intuitive Mummas Session 

Each week, we come together in a calm and welcoming space where you can breathe, connect, and feel supported in your motherhood journey.

Our sessions include gentle, informative chats from trusted guest speakers, sharing insights on everything from baby development to your own wellbeing.

You’ll enjoy meaningful conversations over morning tea, the chance to connect with like-minded mummas, and relaxed group playtime for the little ones.

Come as you are,  there’s no pressure, just support, connection, and community.

Classes available in Brisbane North – North Lakes, Everton Park, Clayfield
