About Ma Wisdom
At Ma Wisdom, we believe intergenerational knowledge is powerful. There’s something deeply meaningful about the kind of wisdom passed down through families, the kind that comes from lived experience and a desire to help.
But while that kind of wisdom is timeless, the world of birth and parenting has changed and many new parents struggle with outdated advice, boundaries being crossed and risk offending grandparents by wanting to do things differently than in their day.
At Ma Wisdom, our tailored workshops are thoughtfully designed with a light-hearted approach to help embrace the exciting transition into grandparenting and to equip grandparents and chosen supporters with essential tools and insights.
By nurturing the innate and accumulated wisdom grandparents already hold, we’ll bring them up to date on what’s changed since they had babies, including newborn safety and the best ways to support new families in the early weeks postpartum. We’ll explore the importance of boundaries – how to set them before the baby arrives and how to navigate them with care and include opportunities to rebuild confidence through a practical skills refresher. We’ll also look at their own transition into grandescence and how this new stage of life can shape their experiences and perspectives.
Led by qualified trainers with over 25 years of combined experience supporting families, we hold TAE accreditation and are qualified, accredited birth and postpartum doulas, as well as certified childbirth and early parenting educators. We are also mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters and women with a deep desire to support intergenerational bonds.
Our workshops help grandparents gain valuable knowledge to navigate the vital role they play in a newly emerging family. The right support after having a baby makes all the difference, we’ll help them be just the kind of support you’re looking for.
Open to new and soon-to-be grandparents, great aunts/uncles and anyone else chosen to be a grandparent figure.

Not Sure What You Need After Baby Arrives? Start Here
The truth is, most mums aren’t told how to prepare for the fourth trimester, the raw, tender, and transformative time after birth. You might feel sore, sleep-deprived, disconnected, or emotionally all over the place. And that’s completely normal. But it doesn’t mean you have to go through it alone. This blog is your gentle starting point, a guide to the kinds of support you may need (and deserve) after baby arrives.

End-of-Year Reflection Guide for Mums (Free Journal Prompts + Playlist)
The end of the year can feel like a whirlwind, especially for pregnant and postpartum mothers.

If this resonates, you’re not alone. This gentle guide is here to help you slow down, take a breath, and soften into a kinder ending. A moment to honour the year you lived, the glimmers that kept you going, and the version of you that is emerging.

We sat down with Ilana Lawrence, the founder of The Sick Sense, paediatric nurse and infant first aid trainer, to talk about why first aid education matters, what parents will learn, and how these skills can empower families to act with confidence.

Inside the Postpartum Home Preparation Service Transforming New Parents’ First Days
Bringing a newborn home is one of the most transformative moments in a family’s life, but it often arrives with overwhelm, exhaustion, and a steep learning curve. While many expectant parents spend months preparing for birth, far fewer have the time, support, or energy to prepare their home for the postpartum period. That’s where the NEST postpartum home preparation service steps in. Designed to create a soft landing for new parents and parents travelling with young children, this offering blends practical support, newborn home organisation, nourishing postpartum food, thoughtful touches, and a deep understanding of what new mothers and families truly need in those early days. We interviewed Kendra Greig the founder of NEST, to explore what inspired this unique service, what families can expect, and how a beautifully prepared home can ease the transition into newborn life.
