Nesting Space
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.


How To Save A Life
We are both paramedics and mothers who are passionate about providing you with the knowledge and skills to keep your babies and children safe.
Unfortunately, as paramedics we have attended too many jobs whereby the baby or child’s health was jeopardised due to family members or bystanders having little-to-no knowledge of how to help in a medical emergency, or provide first aid.
Emergency situations can happen anywhere and anytime.The moments between calling an ambulance, and the ambulance arriving DO matter and you CAN make a difference.
We come to your home to train you and your family/friends (minimum 6-10 people required depending on your location).
We service Sydney and the Gold Coast.
