About Leah Sizeland

I’m Leah — an intuitive and compassionate postpartum doula and Overe practitioner in specialised kinesiology, based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

I offer new mothers deep reverence and nourishing support as they begin life with their baby—gently guiding them through the powerful transition from maiden to mother, known as matrescence.

As a devoted mother myself, and a skilled practitioner in specialised kinesiology, heart centered bodywork, women’s rituals, ie closing of the bones, mothers blessings and women’s circles.

I understand and have seen first hand how vitally important it is for a woman’s whole being to be tended to on all levels—physically, emotionally, energetically, and mentally. So there can be less anxiety, fear, and overload and more joy, understanding, celebration and connection.

I support women both in person through postpartum visits and online, across the globe, at every stage of life. My work is grounded in the sacred seasons of birth, postpartum, and beyond, through the lens of specialised kinesiology, bodywork, and feminine ritual.

I help you shift limiting beliefs, release emotional blocks, and unravel negative thought patterns—while guiding you back to a deep connection with your unique essence. I hold a very safe, sacred space for you to reconnect with yourself as you shapeshift through the profound rites of passage that womanhood presents.

Parenting Support

Northern Beaches Midwifery

Northern Beaches Midwifery offers the gold standard “Continuity of Care”. As a mother, Registered Nurse, Endorsed Midwife & Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I offer the guidance and support you need in the postnatal period. Here’s how I can assist you:

Personalised Support Every mother-baby duo is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Which ever way you choose to feed your baby, breastfeeding, mixed feeding or formula, if this is your first time or have prior experience, I’m here to help you overcome any challenges.

Comprehensive Knowledge I stay current with the latest research and best practices in lactation and responsive parenting. From latching techniques to concerns about milk supply, settling baby and the normal newborn behaviour can be very confusing. I’m ready to answer your questions and provide evidence-based solutions to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.

Emotional Support I understand that a newborn baby can be an emotional journey. Alongside practical assistance, I create a caring and nurturing environment where you can freely discuss your concerns. I’m here to listen and encourage you throughout the process.

Flexible Appointments I offer both in-person visits and online virtual consultations to suit your preferences. I can schedule appointments at times that work best for you, whether you’re at home or on the go.

6-Week Postnatal Care Packages After the birth of your baby and following your hospital discharge, I will visit you at home to provide support and guidance, ensuring a successful confident start to your parenting/breastfeeding journey. Research shows that women who receive support during this time tend to breastfeed for longer. Individualised postnatal packages attract a Medicare rebate if you are within the 6-week postnatal period.

Post-Consultation Care My commitment to your journey doesn’t end with one session. If you choose, I offer ongoing support and follow-ups to help you thrive as you continue your breastfeeding experience.

Don’t let breastfeeding and challenges hold you back. Let me support you in this incredible bonding experience with your little one. Contact me today to book your personalised consultation and discover the keys to successful breastfeeding, and confident parenting

Together, we’ll make your journey fulfilling for both you and your baby! Every mother deserves the best start.

Tips to avoid maternal burnout

Perfectionism is not a healthy habit. Even less so when it comes to motherhood, unless you’re keen to rub shoulders with overwhelm, resentment, rage and the feeling of never being satisfied, which can eventually lead to maternal burnout.
