About Newbies & Bewbies
Newbies & Bewbies is a mobile, in-home lactation and postnatal support service which aims to guide and nurture women and their families to feel confident as they adjust to their new roles. The arrival of a baby can bring about a number of feelings and emotions and it is essential to recognise that everyone’s experience will be different.
With extensive experience working with families I understand the importance of the whole family unit and the pivotal role they play in supporting you through this time. I am committed to empowering you by promoting supportive decision making, providing up to date current information and assisting in fostering connections between you and your baby. My aim is to instil you with confidence, empower you with knowledge and support your decisions.
I am a Registered Nurse/Midwife and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have had 17 years experience working as a Registered Nurse/Midwife in both the private and public hospital sectors. I am highly skilled in a variety of environments including birth suite, ante/postnatal wards, postnatal domiciliary/home visits and clinical education. I have been privileged to care for a variety of women and families and promote a holistic family-centred approach, which is focused on meeting your goals and needs. I am committed to providing the best care to all women and babies, with a special interest in supporting and working with women who have additional mental health needs, such as anxiety and depression. To compliment my special interest I have recently completed a Graduate Diploma of Health (Perinatal and Infant Mental Health) at Federation University.
In addition to my professional career, I am a wife and mother to 3 gorgeous children. My happy place is in the kitchen where I unleash my creativity by developing recipes and meals that help to restore and nourish you in your postpartum period; feed and nurture the soul; and my favourite – bring loved ones together.

Telebaby
Telebaby with Dr. Samuel Heitner – Paediatric Help is Just a Click Away! I’m Dr. Samuel Heitner, a paediatrician with over 15 years of experience and the founder of Telebaby. Being a parent is one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, journeys you’ll ever take, and I’m here to support you whenever you need it.
I offer Telehealth video consultations tailored specifically for babies, supporting parents and families Australia-wide, 7 days a week, all from the comfort and safety of your home.
If you’re worried about your baby’s reflux, colic, constipation, poor weight gain, unsettled behaviour, rashes, suspect a milk allergy, or have any other concern, Telebaby is here to provide guidance and peace of mind. My services include a video consultation, one week of email support following your consult, and a follow-up call to check in on your baby’s progress. If needed, I can also provide Escripts, including specialised infant formula for cow’s milk allergy, blood tests, imaging, medical certificates, and more.
In addition to Telebaby, I work as a paediatrician in the Emergency Department at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and care for babies in the Special Care Nursery and the post-natal ward at Sydney Southwest Private Hospital. I am also a Clinical Associate Lecturer with The University of Sydney and a Fellow of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) – Paediatrics & Child Health Division.


Danielle Brooker, Joy Activation Coach
Danielle Brooker is a Mama, Joy Activation Coach, writer, avid self-help reader, lover of travel, adventure and exceptional coffee. Through her private coaching programs, digital courses, Mama Joy Summit, writing and podcast, Danielle teaches ambitious, busy and always-on Mamas ‘in the thick of it’ to move from the mess to the magic of this season of life.
Her signature program BEYOND focuses on the ‘forgotten season’ of motherhood, teaching Mamas to put core foundations in place to support their thriving well beyond the traditional ‘postpartum’ period. Danielle works intuitively, blending a foundation in human behaviour, neuroplasticity-based coaching and strategy, with somatic principles, emotional context work and soul practices. She shares, “I moved across the world to a new city, 6 months pregnant, in the middle of a global pandemic. All to take action towards my dreams. It was tough. And it was rewarding. I birthed my baby at home, with my partner holding me, literally.
Entering motherhood was everything and nothing like I imagined. It’s pushed me beyond any emotional capacity I’ve ever been asked to experience. I’ve been on my knees sobbing on the bathroom floor not believing I could get up again. And I’ve been bursting with so much joy I thought my cheeks would explode.
Motherhood is one of the most courageous acts. I’m here to take your hand and show you back to your place of safety and strength, so you can fully expand into this season of life. So you can live your most joyful life and feel your most vibrant self.”
She’s the author of Freedom from Busy and has written for and been featured in publications such as Forbes.com and Breathe and is on a mission for Mamas to reclaim this powerful season of life and live in their fullness. Danielle currently lives in Sydney with her daughter and partner, dreaming up the next adventure for their family.
