Our Experts

My name is Mel! I’m an experienced Occupational Therapist and founder of Motherscape. My aim is to support women, new mothers and parents by helping establish healthy routines, personalised interventions and adaptations tailored to your individual situation. At Motherscape we support women’s health across their lifespan and ensure that you feel informed and connected. We provide you with a secure point of reference and together we jointly develop tools and resources for you to use in the future. By carefully developing an anchor like this, any challenging times you might encounter along the way, are easier to navigate through.

The transition to motherhood or ‘matrescence’ brings with it significant life changes. Yet at this challenging time, culturally we tend to focus our attention on the new baby, rather than the physical and psychological needs of the mother. However many families are struggling alone through what should be one of the most joyful times in their lives. The individual needs of the mother then, as well as those of the family as a whole, are frequently not being addressed.

‘Motherscape’ came about as I wanted to create a meaningful impact on the landscape of each individual and their family. The experience of being a mother, as well as managing other significant life stages such as perimenopause & menopause, can bring with it vast and ever-changing terrain. Each woman navigates their own unique landscape encountering peaks of joy, valleys of exhaustion and many winding roads of change and growth. Just like no person is the same, I don’t feel that every approach should be the same either.

Motherscape is guided by evidence, and the individual needs of each woman, and their family. I have carried out research into women’s health and this has helped guide best practice. These are consistently being reviewed, and we strive to build strong networks to ensure that you receive the best support possible! Consistent, reliable, sensitive and thoughtful.

It would be an honour to support you throughout your unique journey; every step of the way!

Hi, I’m Georgie, a mum, midwife, lactation consultant (IBCLC), child and family health nurse, and the heart behind The Latch Lady. I know firsthand how joyful, overwhelming, beautiful and messy early parenthood can be, because I’ve lived it too. My daughter Poppy was born in 2024, and even with all my professional experience, breastfeeding didn’t come easy. That journey deepened my compassion, and reaffirmed my belief that every parent deserves individualised, evidence-based, and deeply kind support.

At The Latch Lady, I offer one-on-one breastfeeding consultations in your home or in clinic, as well as prenatal breastfeeding education sessions for expectant parents. I also support families navigating newborn care, feeding challenges, sleep, and the emotional highs and lows of early parenthood.

My approach is inclusive, judgment-free and grounded in real-life experience. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, feeling unsure in those early weeks, or needing support with things like mastitis, pumping, mixed feeding or weaning, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I work with families in Sydney and offer personalised care that’s led by you, your values, your goals, your baby. You won’t get a one-size-fits-all answer from me, and I’ll never tell you there’s only one “right” way. What you will get is warmth, clinical expertise, and someone cheering you on.

You can learn more or book a visit via my website or Instagram @thelatchlady_. I’m so honoured to be part of the Not Another Onesie village, and I can’t wait to support you in yours.
