The Possums Clinic

Hi! We’re Carolyn and Olivia. As Child and Family Health Nurses and mums ourselves, we are passionate about supporting, educating, and encouraging you from the fourth trimester until your little one is five years old. With decades of experience working with unique families like yours, we provide evidence-based support for breastfeeding/feeding, sleep and settling, growth and development, baby and toddler behaviour and adjusting to parenting. Appointments are available via telehealth nationally or as home visits throughout Sydney.

Baby and You – supporting you to support your baby.

Having served the Sydney community for more than 25 years as a General Practitioner, I am passionate about the health and well-being of women, children, parents, and families, and feel strongly a good GP relationship provides a foundation of support, information & education, communication between health practitioners, and care.

I believe it is not only physical and mental health that contributes to our state of wellness, but also the strength of relationships in our lives, and the families and communities to which we are connected.

As a sports woman who runs and swims regularly and a yoga instructor (Sydney Sports Stadium) I am an advocate of preventative and proactive lifestyle choices, and am comfortable combining evidence based medicine with holistic care.

In this regard, I work closely with allied health professionals involved in my clients care including Naturopaths, Chiropractors, Nutritionists etc… and welcome this important aspect of optimising health outcomes. This is particularly important in the areas of child health, fertility, pregnancy and postnatal care, maintaining a modern, fresh, comprehensive and relevant approach.

Beyond Self is the integrative health clinic we created that is beautiful on the eyes and beautiful on the soul.
