LA Therapy

Hello, we are Helen & Karen and we are the founders of Nurturing Nurses. We each bring over 25 years of experience in Neonatal and Paediatric Nursing and still work in clinical practice in a Special Care Nursery in a Brisbane based Maternity unit. We are also Certified Infant Massage Instructors and want to share with you our extensive knowledge of newborns through our in-person Newborn Care Masterclass and our range of online Infant Massage videos.

We are dedicated to empowering families with the confidence, skills, and reassurance they need through education, hands-on support and evidence based practices both within our classes and online instruction videos. Our Masterclass is delivered by expert Neonatal Nurses who are devoted to teaching and assisting parents in their journey through the early weeks with a newborn. The class is both informative and practical, with opportunities for hands on practice and a bespoke question and answer session. Demonstrations include bathing, swaddling, nappy changes, infant massage principles, cord care, settling techniques, home safety and much more.

We have a wealth of experience of the developing newborn and are both mothers ourselves,  We offer to you a series of online videos for purchase to teach you the benefits of Infant Massage, whether you are seeking a remedy for digestive issues such as colic, or if you simply want to enhance bonding and attachment with your baby. These videos, once purchased are yours to keep and watch any time you want, working through at your own pace.  Videos can be purchased via direct links on our website. We also offer a range of free educational videos through our YouTube channel relating to aspects of Infant Massage and ‘All Things Baby’.

Hi, I’m Sam – Birth & postpartum doula and childbirth educator providing in-person support to new and expecting families.

It was my own experiences with pregnancy, birth and postpartum that stirred in me a deep passion for supporting families on all stages through this journey. As a birth doula, I walk with you as you get ready for the birth of your baby, helping you to feel supported and empowered to make informed decisions and prepare for a calm and peaceful birth, including full support during labour at home or in hospital

As a postpartum doula, I hold deep respect for new mothers and the sacred journey that is Matrescence. I provide nurturing care to replenish and nourish the new mother as she recovers from childbirth and transitions into life with her new baby. My postpartum services include freshly cooked meals, breastfeeding support and newborn care. I help new mums, dads and families as they prepare for and adjust to life with a newborn by providing informational, physical and emotional care – taking the load off, so that the beautiful chaos of postpartum can be a smooth and fulfilling experience.

I understand that each family is unique and has different needs, so my services are designed to be flexible and to support families wherever they’re at, in the best way that will enrich their postpartum journey.

Mum, Babe & Meg believe that pregnancy is an expression of wellness and understand the role of a midwife to be a supporter, encourager, equipper, educator and believer in women’s bodies to grow, birth and nurture their babies and themselves.

Working in partnership with women, Mum, Babe & Meg provide Continuity of Midwifery Care across the entire pregnancy, birth and postpartum continuum to support physiology by focusing on biology to address imbalances before the consideration of interventive practice.

Mum, Babe & Meg also offer pregnancy bodywork, feeding & lactation consultations & birth debriefing. Mum, Babe & Meg believe that women should have access to quality, diverse healthcare options, irrespective of geographical location, and that care should be tailored to consider the needs of rural women and their families.
