Emergcare: Empowering Families with Life-Saving Knowledge

At Emergcare, we understand that the birth of a baby marks the beginning of a parent’s journey. Our approach to first aid education goes beyond just teaching life-saving skills — it’s about supporting families during their transition to parenthood and helping them build their village of support. Our mission is to provide every family with essential first aid education, ensuring they have the knowledge and confidence to act in emergencies. We envision a community where all parents have the skills to respond to emergencies and the resources to support their mental health and wellbeing.

Our Mission

As health professionals and paramedics, we believe CPR and first aid are lifesaving skills that should be accessible to all. We collaborate to educate families and communities on preventing, identifying, and responding effectively to a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and emergencies. Our goal is to create safer communities by empowering individuals with the confidence to respond in critical moments, especially while waiting for medical help. Immediate care in those first minutes can save lives.

Our Services

We offer a range of evidence-based, high-quality first aid courses, including our Perinatal First Aid Course, designed specifically for new and expecting parents. Alongside essential training in childhood injury prevention, paediatric first aid, and child and newborn CPR, this course also offers tools to support your emotional wellbeing.

Through education and evidence-based resources, you’ll gain practical tools to build support networks and care for your mental and emotional health during pregnancy and early parenthood. This holistic approach ensures that parents are equipped to care for their child while also nurturing their own wellbeing.

Our training is based on the latest guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council and Australian Children’s Hospital, ensuring practical and up-to-date education.

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.

Hi, I’m Georgie, a mum, midwife, lactation consultant (IBCLC), child and family health nurse, and the heart behind The Latch Lady. I know firsthand how joyful, overwhelming, beautiful and messy early parenthood can be, because I’ve lived it too. My daughter Poppy was born in 2024, and even with all my professional experience, breastfeeding didn’t come easy. That journey deepened my compassion, and reaffirmed my belief that every parent deserves individualised, evidence-based, and deeply kind support.

At The Latch Lady, I offer one-on-one breastfeeding consultations in your home or in clinic, as well as prenatal breastfeeding education sessions for expectant parents. I also support families navigating newborn care, feeding challenges, sleep, and the emotional highs and lows of early parenthood.

My approach is inclusive, judgment-free and grounded in real-life experience. Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, feeling unsure in those early weeks, or needing support with things like mastitis, pumping, mixed feeding or weaning, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I work with families in Sydney and offer personalised care that’s led by you, your values, your goals, your baby. You won’t get a one-size-fits-all answer from me, and I’ll never tell you there’s only one “right” way. What you will get is warmth, clinical expertise, and someone cheering you on.

You can learn more or book a visit via my website or Instagram @thelatchlady_. I’m so honoured to be part of the Not Another Onesie village, and I can’t wait to support you in yours.

Northern Beaches Midwifery offers the gold standard “Continuity of Care”. As a mother, Registered Nurse, Endorsed Midwife & Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I offer the guidance and support you need in the postnatal period. Here’s how I can assist you:

Personalised Support Every mother-baby duo is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. Which ever way you choose to feed your baby, breastfeeding, mixed feeding or formula, if this is your first time or have prior experience, I’m here to help you overcome any challenges.

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

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

Hi, I’m Mazz. I’m a Postpartum Doula and Infant Massage Instructor for modern mothers who want to feel empowered, supported and connected in their transition to and through motherhood. I truly believe that mothers need to be held in order to hold, and I’m here for you. I work with mums and families across Sydney to help them prepare for and experience a time of rest, recovery and bonding in their fourth trimester and beyond. My services include prenatal support to prepare for postpartum, in home care once your baby arrives and I also run baby massage courses across Sydney.

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.

At Vera Wellness, we believe in rewriting the script around women’s healthcare.

For too long, women have been left to figure things out alone – navigating conflicting advice, unexplained symptoms, and a system that doesn’t always listen.

We’re here to change that.

Vera is a space where you feel seen, supported, and informed. And where you can finally access personalised care that honours the complexity of your body.

Whether you’re preparing to conceive, moving through menopause, or looking for clarity around symptoms like PMS, fatigue or pelvic pain, we’re here to walk beside you with compassion and clarity.

Our care for mothers and families includes midwifery, lactation support, acupuncture, GP services and breathwork tailored to each stage of the parenting journey.

We’re not just here to manage symptoms. We’re here to help you understand your body – and work with it, not against it.

Our model of care brings together:

• Specialist medical services including gynaecology, fertility, and dermatology
• Whole-person support from integrative general practice to midwifery, acupuncture, physiotherapy, dietetics, psychology, counselling, somatic & creative arts therapy, naturopathy, massage therapy, breathwork, skin therapy and lifestyle support
• Evidence-based guidance tailored to your cycle, life stage, and goal.

We create space for the longer conversations you may not have had elsewhere – because healing starts with feeling truly heard.

Located in the lush Samford Valley on Brisbane’s north-west fringe, Vera Wellness is designed to soothe your nervous system the moment you arrive.

Surrounded by nature, with thoughtful design and calming spaces, we’ve created a place where you can exhale and connect with your body’s wisdom.

In addition to providing clinical services, we also run community events in our studio space, such as monthly yoga, breathing circles, mother-daughter retreats, somatic movement sessions, and our popular Mums & Bubs Group.

Hi, I’m Vicky, a passionate infant massage instructor, occupational therapist and mum of three, based in Sydney.

With years of experience supporting families and my own journey through the joys and challenges of motherhood, I’m here to help parents feel confident and connected with their little ones.

Through my in-person and online baby massage classes, I guide parents in discovering the incredible power of touch to nurture bonding, soothe discomforts and support their baby’s growth and development.

Whether you’re a first-time parent or navigating life with multiple little ones, my courses will equip you with practical skills and encouragement to guide you on this special journey—all from the comfort of home or in a welcoming group setting.

Let’s connect, learn, and make parenting a little easier, one massage at a time!

My name is Mel! I’m an experienced Occupational Therapist and founder of Motherscape. My aim is to support women, new mothers and parents by helping establish healthy routines, personalised interventions and adaptations tailored to your individual situation. At Motherscape we support women’s health across their lifespan and ensure that you feel informed and connected. We provide you with a secure point of reference and together we jointly develop tools and resources for you to use in the future. By carefully developing an anchor like this, any challenging times you might encounter along the way, are easier to navigate through.

The transition to motherhood or ‘matrescence’ brings with it significant life changes. Yet at this challenging time, culturally we tend to focus our attention on the new baby, rather than the physical and psychological needs of the mother. However many families are struggling alone through what should be one of the most joyful times in their lives. The individual needs of the mother then, as well as those of the family as a whole, are frequently not being addressed.

‘Motherscape’ came about as I wanted to create a meaningful impact on the landscape of each individual and their family. The experience of being a mother, as well as managing other significant life stages such as perimenopause & menopause, can bring with it vast and ever-changing terrain. Each woman navigates their own unique landscape encountering peaks of joy, valleys of exhaustion and many winding roads of change and growth. Just like no person is the same, I don’t feel that every approach should be the same either.

Motherscape is guided by evidence, and the individual needs of each woman, and their family. I have carried out research into women’s health and this has helped guide best practice. These are consistently being reviewed, and we strive to build strong networks to ensure that you receive the best support possible! Consistent, reliable, sensitive and thoughtful.

It would be an honour to support you throughout your unique journey; every step of the way!

Mums arrive fasted and have their blood tests taken by one of our experienced staff members.  They are then treated to an hour of rest in our divine relaxation room and an hour day spa treatment.  This service is seeing an increased uptake in screening and also promoting antenatal and postnatal wellbeing by linking women in with exceptional quality pregnancy and post-natal services.  As such, we are focusing on prevention rather than cure.”

This is particularly important in the areas of child health, fertility, pregnancy and postnatal care, maintaining a modern, fresh, comprehensive and relevant approach.

Hi, I’m Sam – Birth & postpartum doula and childbirth educator providing in-person support to new and expecting families.

It was my own experiences with pregnancy, birth and postpartum that stirred in me a deep passion for supporting families on all stages through this journey. As a birth doula, I walk with you as you get ready for the birth of your baby, helping you to feel supported and empowered to make informed decisions and prepare for a calm and peaceful birth, including full support during labour at home or in hospital

As a postpartum doula, I hold deep respect for new mothers and the sacred journey that is Matrescence. I provide nurturing care to replenish and nourish the new mother as she recovers from childbirth and transitions into life with her new baby. My postpartum services include freshly cooked meals, breastfeeding support and newborn care. I help new mums, dads and families as they prepare for and adjust to life with a newborn by providing informational, physical and emotional care – taking the load off, so that the beautiful chaos of postpartum can be a smooth and fulfilling experience.

I understand that each family is unique and has different needs, so my services are designed to be flexible and to support families wherever they’re at, in the best way that will enrich their postpartum journey.

Lauren is an Endorsed Private Practice Midwife with an excellent reputation in Brisbane for supporting women and families as they journey to—and through—one of life’s most transformative transitions. She works with a whole-family approach, preparing parents not only for pregnancy and birth but also for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts that come with parenthood and welcoming a new baby.

As a First 1000 Days advocate and nervous system-certified practitioner, Lauren is passionate about equipping families with the tools to build healthy bonds and secure attachments, promoting positive early childhood experiences. This critical period lays the foundation for healthy infant brain development and long-term emotional wellbeing. Lauren empowers parents to connect with their own intuition rather than looking outside themselves for answers.

Lauren provides a variety of Medicare-rebatable appointment types, including:

• Pregnancy care for women alongside their chosen care provider – whether booked to birth through the public system or a private maternity hospital. Lauren is a strong advocate for collaborative models of care and can offer:

  • Shared care with private obstetricians across two clinics in Brisbane

  • Support as part of your care team alongside GPs or hospital clinics

• Birth Mapping appointments – helping you explore your preferences and decision points along the way

• Routine postnatal care – including mother and baby checks, breastfeeding support, perinatal wellbeing, and birth debriefing

• Postnatal in-home care packages – servicing inner north Brisbane and surrounds

• Baby Massage education – 1:1 sessions or private small groups for three or more friends

• Closing the Bones Ceremony – a deeply nurturing postpartum ritual rooted in traditional cultural practices, used to honour and support the profound transition into motherhood

In addition, Lauren offers ‘Mothering the Midwife’ Retreats, designed to support the wellbeing of those who hold this professional responsibility. These one-day retreats are created for nurses and midwives to reset their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and maintain balance to help prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.

Ilana Lawrence – Founder, The Sick Sense

Ilana Lawrence is a Paediatric Nurse Consultant and mum of two with over 14 years’ experience caring for children in some of NSW’s busiest hospitals and emergency departments. Having been both a clinician and a parent in the waiting room, she truly understands what it’s like on each side of the emergency triage desk.

She founded The Sick Sense to close the gap in community health literacy — giving parents, carers, and educators the skills and confidence to recognise when a child is unwell, act quickly, and know when to seek urgent help.

Unlike generic first aid courses, The Sick Sense is paediatric-specific and goes beyond the basics. Workshops blend expert medical knowledge with real-world scenarios, covering sickness recognition, red flag signs, and practical responses to emergencies like choking, burns, and poisoning. Participants leave feeling prepared, empowered, and supported — not overwhelmed.

Delivering sessions across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter, and the Central Coast — and now through an online, bite-sized version — Ilana’s mission is simple: to create informed, confident advocates for children’s health, so more families can make the right call at the right time — and potentially save a life.

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.
