Nesting Space is a dedicated private mental health occupational therapy practice specialising in perinatal services. We are committed to nurturing and supporting the mental well-being of birthing parents and enriching the lives of their families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the early stages of parenthood.

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.

The CALMM is a space for our clients to ‘be’, a space for them to notice themselves, be present, listen to their body and nourish it where needed. We have been operating in Sydney since 2018, offering treatments in Rose Bay and in Newport on the Northern Beaches. We provide remedial, lymphatic and pregnancy massage, and c-section scar release.

Across both locations we have a number of modalities to support mothers, including naturopathy, energy healing, holistic counselling and nutrition to support our mums from the inside out.

I’m Polly and I’m here to support you throughout your breastfeeding journey by providing preparation during pregnancy and personalised breastfeeding support after birth.

With a calm, gentle, and nurturing approach, combined with my expertise and experience, I aim to make you feel understood, supported, and self-assured as you continue on your feeding journey. I work as a Midwifery Specialist in Lactation at a Sydney hospital and offer private in-home consultations across Northern Sydney, as well as Telehealth appointments

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.

If you’d like to discuss travel to an area outside those listed, I’d be happy to chat.

FAMILY REVIEWS * * * * * “The whole experience was so beautifully positive. Martine makes you feel relaxed and confident and she produces the most gorgeous photos – she really is a master of the work she does. I can’t recommend Martine enough” “Martine has a magical way of making every shot work. It isher for a shoot. the timing of Martine’s shots that captures the candid and natural beauty of family interaction, that we love so much. We treasure all our photos for this very reason. Martine has such a creative eye, and her passion for what she does really shows in her work. Feeling so lucky to have found a photographer that understands exactly what we are after every time we book her for a shoot. Thank you Martine. You are amazing!”

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.”

I’m Jess, a family photographer based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

I want to capture the real, raw moments of every season of life. To me, it’s all about making the mundane look magical and beautiful. I also want you to have fun while capturing some cherished memories.

As a mother of 2 little ones myself, I understand how important it is to document those early moments and capture those tender days of early motherhood in a way that is authentic to you and your family.

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.

Abby Sidery is a Midwife, Nurse, Certified Doula and mother of two plus facilitator at Birth Circle, a birth and early parenting workshop held on the Northern Beaches of Sydney.

Hi, I’m Bianca “Bea” Zanini, the founder of Bea Organizer, and before anything else, I’m a mum of three. I know exactly what it feels like to try to keep a home running while growing or caring for a baby, the exhaustion, the constant mental load, the pressure to “do it all”, and the desire to create a calm space for your family even when everything feels overwhelming. And truly, no mother should have to carry all of this alone.

I created Bea Organizer to support mothers in the seasons where home, routine, and emotions all blend together. My work is gentle, practical, and deeply intentional. I don’t just organise spaces, I help bring breathing room back into a mother’s days.

I specialise in services that make motherhood lighter and more manageable:

Tiny Treasures, Baby Organizing Nursery setups, newborn essentials, changing stations, clothing systems, feeding areas and toy organisation, everything a mum needs prepared and ready, so she can focus on bonding with her baby instead of trying to keep up with the house.

ClearSpace, Decluttering (guilt-free) I help mums let go of excess with kindness, calm, and absolutely no judgement. A lighter space means a lighter mind, and that changes everything.

The Refined Home, Home Organization from kitchens to playrooms, pantries, wardrobes, bathrooms and laundry spaces, I create intuitive systems that actually work for everyday family life, beautiful, functional and mum-friendly.

New Beginnings Setup, Unpacking & House Setup For pregnant mums or families moving homes, I set up the entire house in just a few days. You rest, I organise, and your home becomes a place that supports you from day one.

Every mother I work with tells me the same thing, that they feel calmer, lighter, more confident, and finally able to breathe again. That’s why I do this, because an organised home isn’t about perfection, it’s about supporting the woman who holds the whole family together.

Motherhood was never designed to be a solo journey. You deserve a home that supports you, and I would be honoured to help create that for you.

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

Together, we’ll make your journey fulfilling for both you and your baby! Every mother deserves the best start.

I am Katie Gregory a qualified naturopath and nutritionist, proud member of the Australian Natural Therapists Association, founder of Whole Alchemy based in  Avalon on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and mum to two sweet children. 

 Before I discovered natural therapies I had little understanding of how to treat my body properly. Living a life that involved excess in many areas left me both physically and emotionally depleted. After finding naturopathy I quickly discovered how amazing the world of natural medicine is and how much we can do for ourselves in order to prevent illness as well as recover from it.

I have a special interest in working with women in the fertility, pregnancy,  postpartum, and lactation space along with children’s wellbeing. I regularly work in areas supporting depression, anxiety, thyroid health, menopause, hormone balancing, PMS/PMDD, skin issues, ADHD, gut health, immunity, and liver health. 

As a naturopath I work with you/your child (and anyone else who is managing your/their healthcare) to help alleviate the health issues you/your child is facing and find reasons as to why some areas of your health are under functioning. Functional testing can be done through specialized labs which can include blood tests, urine samples, saliva tests or gene testing. However, these functional tests are not always necessary for treatment and I will only recommend them if I feel they will make a difference in my treatment plan or if my client is interested in this information. Functional testing is an excellent tool in health management however it doesn’t answer all the questions, but can provide another piece to the puzzle.

Treatments are designed for each specific client as there is no one size fits all treatment plan. These plans can include dietary modifications, lifestyle adjustments, herbal formulas and nutritional supplementation. If a client is only interested in diet advice then that is all I will provide, however if they are interested in herbs and nutritional supplements then I can supply these goods. I am passionate about meeting each client on their health journey and making sure they are completely comfortable with their treatment and health goals.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and using my skills to improve the health of those around me as well as giving my clients the tools and confidence to achieve their goals. In a world which can often be fast paced and stressful, I hope to be a practitioner who can give my clients the time and attention they deserve while providing them with clarity and guidance towards their health.

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.
