Nurturing a love of sleep through attachment, trust, respect & fun.

Supporting tired parents to make kind, attachment-focused changes to their baby’s sleep, WITHOUT sleep training.

Hi, I’m Katie, a Registered Midwife with over 25 years of clinical experience and a background in home birth. I’m also a certified OCN Level 6 holistic infant sleep coach and mum to four teenagers.

After breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby-wearing and surviving endless night wakes with my own children, I discovered something important: families don’t have to choose between ignoring their instincts or staying up all night forever. There is a gentle middle ground, and that’s exactly what I offer through Katie’s Babies.

I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, and while I offer in-home support locally, most of my work is conducted online. That means I can support families anywhere in the world. My approach blends evidence, intuition and deep respect, helping you create a rhythm that works for your baby and your life, without ever resorting to cry-it-out or forceful routines.

How I can help

Whether you’re contact-napping with a 4-month-old or wrestling with a strong-willed toddler at bedtime, I’m here to guide you towards your goals while preserving connection every step of the way.

• Helping you understand what’s biologically normal in infant and toddler sleep

• Reassuring you that feeding to sleep, contact naps, co-sleeping and floor beds are not ‘bad habits’, they’re instinctive and valid, but it’s ok to make changes if you want to.

• Offering realistic, respectful strategies that protect emotional safety and strengthen bonds

Families often tell me they appreciate my slow, steady, step-by-step approach, designed to avoid tears wherever possible. I build confidence gently, with connection and encouragement, never through pressure or detachment.

Many of my values are grounded in Montessori principles and Aware Parenting theories.

My goal is always to help you find a path that feels sustainable, respectful and aligned with your parenting values, while making life a little easier along the way.  Sleep doesn’t have to be a battle, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

The Motherhood journey is full of changes, emotions, joys, and challenges. As a Perinatal Psychologist, Lauren provides individual therapy to help you navigate the twists and turns and feel more confident along the way. She has compassion for the challenges you are encountering, along with a deep appreciation for the messiness of everyday parenting.

Lauren supports mothers and families experiencing challenges in adjusting to change, managing anxiety or depression, coping with grief or loss, navigating relationship difficulties, or bonding with their baby or child.

With over 15 years of experience in public and private mental health and education settings, Lauren’s approach to therapy is warm, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental. Lauren offers a space where you can reflect, process challenges, identify your strengths and deepen your self-understanding – helping you connect with your values and needs.

Lauren brings a developmental and relational perspective to therapy, utilising frameworks from attachment theory and advanced training in Circle of Security Parenting, to help you untangle your story and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, ways of relating, and experiences. In addition, she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, somatic, and creative techniques offering support tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Babies are always welcome in sessions. Lauren also works closely with other practitioners to help you get the support you need.

In addition to individual therapy, Lauren enjoys facilitating parent education and wellbeing workshops and groups. She runs the Circle of Security Parenting (COSP) program to help strengthen parent-child relationships and Creative Journalling groups for Mothers, which introduce simple, creative journaling techniques to support positive mental health and well-being.

Lauren is a Mother of two, who loves reading and spending time in nature. It was her own entry into Motherhood that shifted her focus to supporting parents navigating the perinatal period and beyond.

For in-person support, you can find Lauren at Maternal and Infant Wellbeing Melbourne in Parkville, Victoria. Lauren also provides Australia-wide support via Telehealth.

Hi, I am Angelina — a Clinical Perinatal Psychologist, HypnoBirthing Practitioner and Matrescence Educator. With a passion for women’s health and perinatal psychology, I recognise the perinatal period—from preconception through to parenthood—as a time filled with both immense wonder and incredible challenges.

I founded The Growth Room, a space inspired by my own transformative journey into motherhood, including my second pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. My personal experiences of navigating motherhood, particularly in the face of isolation and uncertainty, deepened my understanding of the holistic support women need during this life stage. As a result, The Growth Room focuses on providing education, nurturing, and mental health support for women navigating the profound physical, emotional, and psychological changes of pregnancy and motherhood.

In addition to psychological therapy for women in the perinatal period, in which I adopt a strengths-based, collaborative therapeutic approach, The Growth Room also offers childbirth education through HypnoBirthing courses. These courses help expectant mothers and their partners feel empowered and prepared for birth through relaxation techniques, guided visualisations, and education.

The Growth Room focuses on acknowledging the emotional, mental, and physical changes that occur during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, creating a nurturing environment where women can access both therapeutic support and practical tools like HypnoBirthing to foster a supported transition to motherhood.

At The Growth Room we are passionate about creating a therapeutic space where women can feel empowered, reflect on their experiences, and grow in confidence as they navigate pregnancy, birth and motherhood.
