Hi, I am Damaris. I am passionate to support you experience a postpartum that optimises healing, well-being and breastfeeding.

Beattie Street Health Studio – Holistic Care for Mothers & Families

At Beattie Street Health Studio, we understand that motherhood is one of life’s most profound transitions — and it’s not something you’re meant to navigate alone. Our studio in Balmain is a warm, light-filled space designed to support women and families through every stage of the journey: from pre-conception, pregnancy and birth preparation, to the intensity of early postpartum and beyond.

Founded by Dr Melinda Webb, Chinese medicine doctor, Dr Joe Dispenza practitioner, and breathwork practitioner, Beattie Street Health brings together a team of experienced, multidisciplinary practitioners who share a passion for nurturing both body and mind. With a focus on continuity of care, we create a safe environment where mothers feel held, heard, and supported to restore balance in their physical health, emotional wellbeing, and energy.

Services include:

Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine — to ease morning sickness, support fertility, prepare for labour, and aid recovery postpartum.

Remedial & Pregnancy Massage — relieving tension, improving circulation, and providing therapeutic support tailored to each stage.

Naturopathy & Nutrition — addressing root causes, building energy, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Breathwork & Meditation — simple, powerful tools to calm the nervous system, reset, and build resilience for the demands of parenthood.

Hypnotherapy & Wellness Coaching — supporting emotional recalibration and empowering mothers to move through challenges with confidence.

For families, we also offer care that extends beyond the mother, recognising that partners, babies, and older children are part of the wellbeing picture too. Whether it’s help with sleep, emotional regulation, recovery from birth, or just a space to pause and recharge, our team is here to meet you where you are.

At Beattie Street Health Studio, we believe that mothers deserve more. They deserve compassionate, practical, and holistic care.

About Dr Edna Lekgabe

Dr Edna Lekgabe is here to support you through every stage of your journey to motherhood and beyond. Dr Edna is a caring psychiatrist with a deep passion for helping women and families navigate the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. Her experience bridges both private practice and her role as a consultant psychiatrist at The Royal Women’s Hospital.

Dr Edna believes every woman deserves a safe place to talk openly and feel heard. She understands that becoming a parent is a unique adventure, filled with both joy and uncertainty, and she welcomes conversations about whatever is on your mind—from planning for pregnancy and infertility struggles, to birth worries, trauma, grief, and the challenges of new parenthood. No concern is too small.

Her care is truly holistic. Dr Edna listens deeply to understand not just your medical needs, but your emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual life too. She emphasises early support and welcomes family and loved ones into decision-making, especially when considering medication before, during, or after pregnancy. She offers guidance on mental health treatments, and also supports you with practical lifestyle approaches like nutrition, gentle exercise, mindfulness, self-compassion, and building your support network.

Dr Edna holds a medical degree from Monash University, a Master of Psychiatry from the University of Melbourne, a PhD, and a Diploma from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. She is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.

After my own experience with loss, I’m passionate to help other bereaved parents. As a ‘loss’ Doula and peer, I offer reassurance, support and resources. I’m here to walk alongside you, holding space with empathy and understanding, during this difficult time. Aiming to assist you and your loved ones in having the most meaningful and peaceful transition possible. Whether that is the first or last breath, and sadly sometimes both.

Hi, I’m Amy, I am a specialist grief counsellor and I work with women and families facing losses (death-related and non-death-related losses across the lifespan).

Something has happened and you are now trying to pick up the pieces. Grief is often a lonely journey and can feel all consuming. Whether you are trying to start or grow your family, adjusting to pregnancy or early parenting challenges, navigating pregnancy or parenting after loss, or figuring out how to ‘be you’ and still parent in a way that feels congruent to your life values, I am here to hold space for these conversations.

Matrescence is the transition we make from maiden to mother, likened to adolescence, and it is a transition of mind, body, soul and spirit.

As a therapist in this space, I walk alongside you as a companion while you navigate the complexity and challenges of living with loss. Together we create a safe space for your experience to be witnessed, for you to tell the truth about your grief, to be seen and heard without judgment.

You do not have to do this journey alone.
