The Postpartum Nutrition Guide for Mamas

Hi, I’m Mandy — a registered perinatal psychologist, mum of three (including a new baby born in 2025), and the founder of Mums in Bloom.

I support pregnant and new mothers who are finding this season more emotional, confusing, or isolating than they expected. If you’ve ever thought, “I love my baby, but I feel like I’m falling apart,” you are exactly who I support — and you are not alone.

With over a decade of experience in psychology, my work focuses on the real inner world of motherhood — the mental load, identity shifts, emotional ups and downs, and pressure to do it all “right.” I bring both my professional background and personal lived experience to create a space where you feel seen, validated, and supported.

At Mums in Bloom, I offer gentle resources for both pregnancy and postpartum, including:

🌸 Free guides for third trimester prep and those “not-what-I-expected” early weeks

🌸 Low-cost seminars on body image and postnatal mental health

🌸 A beautifully supportive 8-week online program for first-time mums in the first 6–8 months postpartum

🌸 A mini guide for partners to help them show up, step in, and stay connected during this major life transition

Whether you’re feeling anxious, flat, overwhelmed, or just unsure who you are anymore, I’m here to walk alongside you. My support is gentle, practical, and free of judgment — like chatting with a mum-friend who gets it, but with the expertise to back it up.

I believe motherhood was never meant to be done alone. Let’s make sure you don’t have to.

I am a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and fully registered with AHPRA.

Hi, I’m Claire! I’m a perinatal counsellor, parenting cheerleader and mother. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents struggling in silence and it’s my mission to make early parenthood way more fun and way less sh*t.

I understand how it feels to doubt yourself, as a parent, and to struggle mentally, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. I’ve been there too.

Through compassionate counselling or birth debriefing, I can help you work through the ups and downs of life as a parent, and find heaps more confidence and self-compassion.

I also run an epic postpartum preparation and support program called Beyond Birth, and offer evidence-based, holistic parenting support once your little one arrives.

I believe parenting is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone. I’d be honoured to be part of your village of support.
