A passionate lifestyle photographer based here in Sydney on the Northern Beaches. I specialise in a wide range of photography. From family portraiture of life’s beautiful moments, to helping small businesses create some unique visual content for their online presence. ​

My style is very natural and honest. I prefer shooting in natural light as it constantly challenges my creativity, but also I feel it tells a richer, deeper story. I create art out of the real moments, capturing you and your story exactly how it is. ​

I’m all about trying new things and having fun with my projects. I work very closely with my clients/families to achieve the right aesthetic in images so the overall outcome exceeds expectations.

Hi my name is Janine. I’ve been so lucky to work with many mums, dads, babies and their families over the past 30 years as a registered nurse specialising in obstetrics and as a trained mentor, birth and postpartum doula, educator and mum of 3.  I’m truly passionate about supporting families as they grow and transition into their wonderful fourth trimester and settle into life as parents and as a new family.  It’s a joy to see parents grow in confidence and enjoy this precious time surrounded by love, nourishment, nurturing care, practical help, and a kind guiding hand to support them. Caring for the new and healing mum is so important as she is able to rest and get to know her little one.

It’s a privilege to be part of this wonderful journey with them all.

Hi I’m Juliette, I’m a mum and with nearly a decade of experience as a Mental Health Occupational Therapist, I am deeply passionate about my work. I have firsthand experience with the challenges of navigating mental health struggles during pregnancy and the postnatal period. Having personally faced the isolation of postnatal anxiety, rage, and depression following a traumatic birth, I understand the profound impact that seeking help early can have. This realisation inspired me to establish Nesting Space, as I recognized the vital role an Occupational Therapist can play in supporting women and their families during the antenatal and postnatal periods.

Becoming a mother was a transformative experience for me—physically, psychologically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The discovery of matrescence, the transition into motherhood, solidified my calling to this field. I deeply understand the ambivalence that can accompany motherhood and the neurocognitive changes that occur after pregnancy and birth.

Comprehensive Knowledge I stay current with the latest research and best practices in lactation and responsive parenting. From latching techniques to concerns about milk supply, settling baby and the normal newborn behaviour can be very confusing. I’m ready to answer your questions and provide evidence-based solutions to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.

Emotional Support I understand that a newborn baby can be an emotional journey. Alongside practical assistance, I create a caring and nurturing environment where you can freely discuss your concerns. I’m here to listen and encourage you throughout the process.

Flexible Appointments I offer both in-person visits and online virtual consultations to suit your preferences. I can schedule appointments at times that work best for you, whether you’re at home or on the go.

6-Week Postnatal Care Packages After the birth of your baby and following your hospital discharge, I will visit you at home to provide support and guidance, ensuring a successful confident start to your parenting/breastfeeding journey. Research shows that women who receive support during this time tend to breastfeed for longer. Individualised postnatal packages attract a Medicare rebate if you are within the 6-week postnatal period.

Post-Consultation Care My commitment to your journey doesn’t end with one session. If you choose, I offer ongoing support and follow-ups to help you thrive as you continue your breastfeeding experience.

Don’t let breastfeeding and challenges hold you back. Let me support you in this incredible bonding experience with your little one. Contact me today to book your personalised consultation and discover the keys to successful breastfeeding, and confident parenting

MATERNITY REVIEW * * * * * “We had such a fantastic maternity shoot with Martine. I always have reservations about getting photos done as my husband and I are always a little awkward in front of the camera but Martine put us at ease and offered some guidance while also giving lots of space for us to be ourselves. I am in love with all of the images!”

MOTHERHOOD MINI REVIEW * * * * * “An exceptionally professional and exhilarating experience. I am overjoyed to have found Martine and am so glad I invited her into our home. I fell in love with her work instantly but didn’t think my own shots would compare to her other work- but boy was I wrong! Not only do I feel empowered and so in love with what my body has created and achieved, but I am so grateful that she has captured such a milestone in our lives in a raw and natural way. The best thing I’ve ever done for myself.”

Hi, I’m Dominique McGuire – degree-qualified naturopath and founder of The Pillars Naturopathy, based in Manly Beach and also available Australia-wide via Telehealth. I work closely with women and families to support everything from digestive health and hormone balance to fatigue, skin issues, and mood.

As both a practitioner and a human, I know that true healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach to naturopathy, blending functional testing with clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, and realistic lifestyle advice to help you feel like you again – not just as a mum, but as a whole person.

Many of the women I work with come to me feeling burnt out, bloated, and like their bodies just aren’t working the way they used to. Some are navigating postpartum hormone shifts, breastfeeding challenges, or period issues after coming off contraception. Others are struggling with gut issues, low energy, or anxiety that seems to have worsened since becoming a parent. Wherever you’re at, we work together to get to the root cause and create a plan that fits in with your life – even if that life currently includes toddlers, night feeds, or limited time for yourself.

I offer comprehensive one-on-one support as well as structured programs like my Gut Feeling program, which includes microbiome testing, personalised protocols, and weekly check-ins. I’m also experienced in helping women prepare for pregnancy, optimise postpartum recovery, and support their children’s gut and immune health using gentle, targeted naturopathic care.

Above all, this is a safe, non-judgemental space to be honest about how you’re feeling. Whether you’re an expecting mum, navigating early motherhood, or trying to get your health back after years of putting yourself last – you’re in the right place.

Let’s work together to help you feel energised, empowered, and supported again.
