Nourished Psychology
About Nourished Psychology
I am a psychologist working in the area of maternal mental health and am passionate about helping mothers navigate the ups and downs of motherhood. After becoming a mother myself, I realised what an immense adjustment it is and how mothers need to be better supported.Mothers need to be nourished physically, mentally and emotionally just as much as the babies do.
Areas of expertise
I am a registered psychologist with a Masters in Educational Developmental Psychology.
I am passionate about the area of maternal mental health and enjoy working with women across the following challenges:
- Body image
- Disordered eating
- Identity issues in motherhood
- Emotional regulation
- Parenting
- Anxiety
- Life transitions
Motherhood is messy, joyful and chaotic and sometimes we just need someone else to hold us through the ups and downs.

During pregnancy, it is recommended that women undergo screening for Gestational Diabetes. Historically, this test has been dreaded by mum, but we’ve now made it something to look forward to.
Mums arrive fasted and have their blood tests taken by one of our experienced staff members. They are then treated to an hour of rest in our divine relaxation room and an hour day spa treatment. This service is seeing an increased uptake in screening and also promoting antenatal and postnatal wellbeing by linking women in with exceptional quality pregnancy and post-natal services. As such, we are focusing on prevention rather than cure.”

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.
