The Growth Room
About The Growth Room
Hi, I am Angelina — a Clinical Perinatal Psychologist, HypnoBirthing Practitioner and Matrescence Educator. With a passion for women’s health and perinatal psychology, I recognise the perinatal period—from preconception through to parenthood—as a time filled with both immense wonder and incredible challenges.
I founded The Growth Room, a space inspired by my own transformative journey into motherhood, including my second pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. My personal experiences of navigating motherhood, particularly in the face of isolation and uncertainty, deepened my understanding of the holistic support women need during this life stage. As a result, The Growth Room focuses on providing education, nurturing, and mental health support for women navigating the profound physical, emotional, and psychological changes of pregnancy and motherhood.
In addition to psychological therapy for women in the perinatal period, in which I adopt a strengths-based, collaborative therapeutic approach, The Growth Room also offers childbirth education through HypnoBirthing courses. These courses help expectant mothers and their partners feel empowered and prepared for birth through relaxation techniques, guided visualisations, and education.
The Growth Room focuses on acknowledging the emotional, mental, and physical changes that occur during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, creating a nurturing environment where women can access both therapeutic support and practical tools like HypnoBirthing to foster a supported transition to motherhood.
At The Growth Room we are passionate about creating a therapeutic space where women can feel empowered, reflect on their experiences, and grow in confidence as they navigate pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

The CALMM
The CALMM is a space for our clients to ‘be’, a space for them to notice themselves, be present, listen to their body and nourish it where needed. We have been operating in Sydney since 2018, offering treatments in Rose Bay and in Newport on the Northern Beaches. We provide remedial, lymphatic and pregnancy massage, and c-section scar release.
Across both locations we have a number of modalities to support mothers, including naturopathy, energy healing, holistic counselling and nutrition to support our mums from the inside out.

Beattie Street Health Studio – Holistic Care for Mothers & Families
At Beattie Street Health Studio, we understand that motherhood is one of life’s most profound transitions — and it’s not something you’re meant to navigate alone. Our studio in Balmain is a warm, light-filled space designed to support women and families through every stage of the journey: from pre-conception, pregnancy and birth preparation, to the intensity of early postpartum and beyond.
Founded by Dr Melinda Webb, Chinese medicine doctor, Dr Joe Dispenza practitioner, and breathwork practitioner, Beattie Street Health brings together a team of experienced, multidisciplinary practitioners who share a passion for nurturing both body and mind. With a focus on continuity of care, we create a safe environment where mothers feel held, heard, and supported to restore balance in their physical health, emotional wellbeing, and energy.
Services include:
Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine — to ease morning sickness, support fertility, prepare for labour, and aid recovery postpartum.
Remedial & Pregnancy Massage — relieving tension, improving circulation, and providing therapeutic support tailored to each stage.
Naturopathy & Nutrition — addressing root causes, building energy, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Breathwork & Meditation — simple, powerful tools to calm the nervous system, reset, and build resilience for the demands of parenthood.
Hypnotherapy & Wellness Coaching — supporting emotional recalibration and empowering mothers to move through challenges with confidence.
For families, we also offer care that extends beyond the mother, recognising that partners, babies, and older children are part of the wellbeing picture too. Whether it’s help with sleep, emotional regulation, recovery from birth, or just a space to pause and recharge, our team is here to meet you where you are.
At Beattie Street Health Studio, we believe that mothers deserve more. They deserve compassionate, practical, and holistic care.
