About Newbies & Bewbies
Newbies & Bewbies is a mobile, in-home lactation and postnatal support service which aims to guide and nurture women and their families to feel confident as they adjust to their new roles. The arrival of a baby can bring about a number of feelings and emotions and it is essential to recognise that everyone’s experience will be different.
With extensive experience working with families I understand the importance of the whole family unit and the pivotal role they play in supporting you through this time. I am committed to empowering you by promoting supportive decision making, providing up to date current information and assisting in fostering connections between you and your baby. My aim is to instil you with confidence, empower you with knowledge and support your decisions.
I am a Registered Nurse/Midwife and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have had 17 years experience working as a Registered Nurse/Midwife in both the private and public hospital sectors. I am highly skilled in a variety of environments including birth suite, ante/postnatal wards, postnatal domiciliary/home visits and clinical education. I have been privileged to care for a variety of women and families and promote a holistic family-centred approach, which is focused on meeting your goals and needs. I am committed to providing the best care to all women and babies, with a special interest in supporting and working with women who have additional mental health needs, such as anxiety and depression. To compliment my special interest I have recently completed a Graduate Diploma of Health (Perinatal and Infant Mental Health) at Federation University.
In addition to my professional career, I am a wife and mother to 3 gorgeous children. My happy place is in the kitchen where I unleash my creativity by developing recipes and meals that help to restore and nourish you in your postpartum period; feed and nurture the soul; and my favourite – bring loved ones together.

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.

Why Would a Baby Need to See a Chiropractor?
Gentle care, big impact — what infant chiropractic is really about When people hear the words “chiropractor” and “baby” in the same sentence, it can raise eyebrows — and fair enough. At Nomad Chiropractic, we don’t “crack” newborns or treat them like tiny adults. In fact, our work with babies is one of the gentlest and most intuitive things we do.

What is a Doula?
Today, a doula is typically someone who acts as a hub of support, referrals and resources for a person during a major life transition, usually related to birth. Doulas have a holistic approach that considers both mental and physical well-being. Services vary significantly but can include emotional reassurance, information based on scientific evidence, and comfort techniques like massage and nourishing food. The role is not medical, and doulas cannot treat, diagnose or cure any disease.
