Interview Series

Midwife-led workshops and positive birth classes not only prepare mothers for labour but also give partners confidence, practical tools, and emotional support for one of life’s biggest transitions. We sat down with Lucy Carroll, a practising midwife, educator and co-founder of Birth & Beyond Education, to explore how empowered birth education helps families thrive.

Mental health during pregnancy and postpartum is something many mothers don’t expect to struggle with,  but it's more common than we think. In this interview with Lotus Health and Psychology, we explore what perinatal mental health support really looks like, why anxiety is often overlooked, and how to take the first steps even when you feel like you’re running on empty. Whether you're expecting, newly postpartum, or years into motherhood, these insights might be the nudge you didn’t know you needed.

I started Sing High Sing Low to create spaces where women of all life stages could connect, unwind, and experience the joy of shared song. The work I do is inspired by the beautiful model developed by Singing Mamas in the UK, which has been recognised by the World Health Organization for its positive impact on perinatal mental health and maternal wellbeing.

In our ongoing series spotlighting the incredible services in our Not Another Onesie village, we spoke with the heart and hands behind Kavanah Care,  a wellness sanctuary offering postpartum support and bodywork that feels like a warm exhale for mothers in their most tender chapter.

Chiropractors use specific techniques to help ease this physical load and support more comfortable movement patterns, all without drugs or invasive procedures. Care is always adapted for each individual, with your safety and comfort as the top priority.

Who's doing what at home? The truth about domestic load & how to lighten it together.

If I had my way, support would be non-negotiable and, in an ideal world, would have government funding, so everyone can access the help we all deserve. We can shape our families' and therefore babies' complete outcomes (and lives!) by providing education, but above all, support in those early days. It is essential for a mother who has given birth to rest and recover.

Discover the early signs of postpartum distress that often go unnoticed and learn when and how mothers should seek mental health support. From baby blues vs. depression to finding the right therapist.

In this honest and empowering interview, we explore sleep support that’s developmentally appropriate for babies and sustainable for families, no quick fixes, just real talk about responsive sleep, attachment, and finding what works for your unique family.

This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes
