Bump to Bundle Nutrition

I’m Paula, an Endorsed Midwife and the founder of Pause Postpartum, a private midwifery service supporting families in the early weeks after birth. With extensive experience in pregnancy, birth and postpartum care, I’ve seen how much more confident families feel when they are truly supported, and how this positively impacts their postpartum experience.

Pause Postpartum was created to offer evidence-based, individualised care after birth, promoting an environment where new parents are supported, educated and encouraged through the postpartum period. From feeding support, newborn care and settling, physical check-ups, or holding space for the emotional aspect of this huge life transition, we are establishing a new standard of postpartum care.

We offer home visits for the first six weeks postpartum, as well as online sessions, which are eligible for Medicare rebates. Birth debriefing sessions are also available, grounded in compassion and tailored to what you feel ready to explore, this can be a powerful way to reflect on your birth experience.

Offerings include:

• Postpartum planning sessions and resources
• Postpartum home visits
• Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support
• Newborn care, maternal health checks and emotional support
• Birth debriefing
• Medicare rebates for eligible visits

Hi, I’m Kirsten! I’m an Australian-trained and registered osteopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, offering holistic osteopathic care for the whole family. I have a special interest in pregnancy and postpartum care, and I love working with babies and children of all ages.

In addition to my osteopathic training, I am also a registered International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This unique combination allows me to integrate gentle, effective bodywork with evidence-based lactation support—helping mothers overcome challenges and achieve their individual breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be.

I began my career as a senior associate osteopath in a busy private clinic in Australia, where I worked for three years before relocating to Singapore in 2008. There, I joined Osteopathic Health Care and practiced for 12 years, building a strong reputation for family-based care. In 2020, I returned to Sydney and now practise at Body of Life Health Centre, a multidisciplinary health clinic, in Frenchs Forest.

My mission is to provide gentle, informed care for you and your little ones – at every stage. With over 20 years of clinical experience—and a deep understanding of the challenges that come with parenting—I’m committed to helping you understand the root causes of pain or discomfort, whether it’s your own or your child’s.

By explaining what’s happening, why it’s happening now, and how we can work together toward recovery, I aim to give you not just relief, but long-term confidence in your body’s ability to heal. Through skilled osteopathic treatment and personalised care, I’m here to help you feel informed, supported, and well.

Hi, I am Damaris. I am passionate to support you experience a postpartum that optimises healing, well-being and breastfeeding.
