“We are leading the way in healthcare innovation with our first of it’s kind Day Stay Experience”.

This 7 hour stay is designed to give mother’s the confidence to feed and settle their babies in a way that meets their own unique parenting goals. We support mental health and postpartum wellbeing by providing a mother’s helper for the day and every mum has a luxurious day spa treatment included in their package.  Babies are treated to a divine sensory class and mum’s get to choose from a sleep and settling consult, and osteo consult or a baby carrying consult and they will have all feeds supervised by Breastfeeding Medicine and Infant sleep expert, Dr. Amber Hart.

We also offer Australia’s only GTT experience. 

During pregnancy, it is recommended that women undergo screening for Gestational Diabetes.  Historically, this test has been dreaded by mum, but we’ve now made it something to look forward to.

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.”

Hi, I’m Mandy — a registered perinatal psychologist, mum of three (including a new baby born in 2025), and the founder of Mums in Bloom.

I support pregnant and new mothers who are finding this season more emotional, confusing, or isolating than they expected. If you’ve ever thought, “I love my baby, but I feel like I’m falling apart,” you are exactly who I support — and you are not alone.

With over a decade of experience in psychology, my work focuses on the real inner world of motherhood — the mental load, identity shifts, emotional ups and downs, and pressure to do it all “right.” I bring both my professional background and personal lived experience to create a space where you feel seen, validated, and supported.

At Mums in Bloom, I offer gentle resources for both pregnancy and postpartum, including:

🌸 Free guides for third trimester prep and those “not-what-I-expected” early weeks

🌸 Low-cost seminars on body image and postnatal mental health

🌸 A beautifully supportive 8-week online program for first-time mums in the first 6–8 months postpartum

🌸 A mini guide for partners to help them show up, step in, and stay connected during this major life transition

Whether you’re feeling anxious, flat, overwhelmed, or just unsure who you are anymore, I’m here to walk alongside you. My support is gentle, practical, and free of judgment — like chatting with a mum-friend who gets it, but with the expertise to back it up.

I believe motherhood was never meant to be done alone. Let’s make sure you don’t have to.

I am a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and fully registered with AHPRA.

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.

I am a psychologist working in the area of maternal mental health and am passionate about helping mothers navigate the ups and downs of motherhood. After becoming a mother myself, I realised what an immense adjustment it is and how mothers need to be better supported.Mothers need to be nourished physically, mentally and emotionally just as much as the babies do.
