WARM Health Collective

Hi, I’m Amy, I am a specialist grief counsellor and I work with women and families facing losses (death-related and non-death-related losses across the lifespan).

Something has happened and you are now trying to pick up the pieces. Grief is often a lonely journey and can feel all consuming. Whether you are trying to start or grow your family, adjusting to pregnancy or early parenting challenges, navigating pregnancy or parenting after loss, or figuring out how to ‘be you’ and still parent in a way that feels congruent to your life values, I am here to hold space for these conversations.

Matrescence is the transition we make from maiden to mother, likened to adolescence, and it is a transition of mind, body, soul and spirit.

As a therapist in this space, I walk alongside you as a companion while you navigate the complexity and challenges of living with loss. Together we create a safe space for your experience to be witnessed, for you to tell the truth about your grief, to be seen and heard without judgment.

You do not have to do this journey alone.

Hello, I’m Cassie, a certified Childbirth Educator, Postpartum Doula, and passionate Nourisher of Mums, based in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.

I’m deeply committed to supporting mothers and birth partners as they navigate their unique journey into parenthood. Through evidence-based childbirth education, I’ll help you feel calm, confident, and informed as you prepare for birth.

As a food focussed Postpartum Doula, I absolutely love cooking deeply nourishing, healing meals that support your recovery and help you thrive in the fourth trimester. Alongside this, I offer practical in-home support and a calm, grounding presence, gently holding space for you during this powerful transformation.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to raise a mother. I would be honoured to be part of your village.

Ana Ristov is a registered Psychologist and accredited Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Clinician with a deep commitment to supporting women through the full arc of the perinatal experience – from preconception, pregnancy, and birth, to the early years of parenting.

Ana understands that becoming a parent is about so much more than having a baby. It’s a profound identity shift – matrescence – as complex and transformative as adolescence, only with far less societal guidance (and much less sleep). She’s passionate about helping you navigate this journey with gentleness, self-compassion, and clarity, so that you can feel more grounded in your evolving self.

She supports clients navigating:

Pregnancy and Birth

• Managing antenatal and postnatal anxiety or depression
• Feeling anxious or uncertain about giving birth
• Recovering emotionally from a difficult or traumatic birth
• Making sense of your birth experience

Postnatal Identity & Adjustment

• Finding your footing in the early stages of parenthood (matrescence)
• Reconnecting with who you are outside of motherhood
• Adjusting to new roles, expectations, and daily rhythms
• Struggling with body image or pressure to ‘bounce back’
• Realigning with your core values in this new season of life

Parenting & Connection

• Strengthening your bond and emotional connection with your baby
• Tuning in to your child’s needs while learning to trust your instincts
• Exploring feelings of frustration, anger, or “mum rage”

Relationships, Roles & Boundaries

• Navigating shifts in your relationship or co-parenting dynamic
• Setting boundaries to protect your wellbeing and your child’s
• Preparing for or settling back into paid work after leave

Ana knows what it’s like to be in the thick of it – she’s navigated many of the same struggles that you might be experiencing right now. Her style is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. She works from the belief that you are the expert in your own life, and that therapy is a space for curiosity, reflection, and renewal. Her approach integrates attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based therapeutic frameworks – all held within a safe and supportive relationship.

Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating the early postpartum haze, or simply wondering where you went in all of this – Ana offers a space to gently land, reflect, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
