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.

If you’re planning a vaginal birth, assessing pelvic floor function, muscle range of motion, and the effectiveness of your pushing technique—tailored to suit whichever birth position you prefer. Sessions will educate you on each stage of labour, equipping you with practical strategies to navigate the physical and emotional ups and downs.

Untangled Living

About Untangled Living

I’m Ebony, the founder of Untangled Living and a mother supporting mothers. I combine my professional skills with my own lived experience to offer care that’s both practical and deeply understanding. My approach is grounded in genuine empathy, a shared sense of “I get it,” and creating a safe, welcoming space where women feel truly seen, heard, and cared for.

I offer trauma-informed care and hands-on support for women at every stage of the motherhood journey from conception through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. I understand that every family’s story is unique, and that recovery and growth don’t follow a neat timeline.

I am a qualified birth and postpartum doula and myotherapist, with specialised training in pre- and postnatal massage, scar therapy, and lymphatic drainage. I have also completed training in the Body Ready Method®, a functional movement approach designed to prepare the body for birth and support a smoother, more complete recovery postpartum. I hold a Diploma of Nutrition specialising in women’s health through all stages of motherhood, preparing for pregnancy, staying well during pregnancy, recovering after birth, and restoring balance from the depletion often experienced in motherhood. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Nursing, specialising in women’s health.

My services are designed to meet you exactly where you are:

  • Pregnancy support – massage, education, and personalised resources to ease discomfort, reduce anxiety, and prepare your body and mind for birth.
  • Birth preparation – tailored sessions that help you feel informed, confident, and empowered for whatever path your birth may take, including cesarean preparation.
  • Postpartum care – hands-on healing for body and mind, scar therapy, lymphatic support, and recovery plans that honour your emotional and physical wellbeing.
  • Support beyond the first year – guidance for mothers navigating toddlerhood, returning to work, hormonal changes, body image, burnout, and the ongoing balancing act of motherhood.

Motherhood can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether I’m easing physical tension, creating a recovery plan, or simply holding space for your story, my goal is to walk alongside you, helping you untangle the challenges, celebrate milestones, and feel anchored in your own strength.

Together, we can create space for your recovery, your growth, and the version of motherhood you want to live.

Align with Alice
Mental Health

Align with Alice

Hi, I’m Alice and I help women step off the emotional rollercoaster and become the mothers they want to be.

Combining my experience as a Midwife, Fertility Nurse, Maternal and Child Health Nurse, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, my holistic approach integrates my professional experience with my gentle and intuitive nature.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of your fertility, experiencing fear or worry about pregnancy or birth or feeling lost in the early parenting years… I am here to support you on your journey. Because when so much of this journey can feel out of your control, I can help you take control over your mindset, your thoughts and the lens through which you see and experience motherhood.

By working with the subconscious mind, I can help you get ‘unstuck’ from any limiting beliefs that are holding you back, so that you can move forward in your next chapter feeling empowered, confident, optimistic and clear on your path forward.

What is RTT?

RTT uniquely blends principles of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, neurolinguistic programming, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuroscience and neuroplasticity to deliver fast, effective and long-lasting results. Ultimately RTT aims to get to the root cause of the ‘problem’ you’re experiencing, identify any subconscious blocks or limiting beliefs and clear these so that you can move forward with new, positive and supportive beliefs that align with your vision for motherhood. This process doesn’t just change how you think, it changes what you believe about yourself, how you feel, how you behave and how you experience the world.

If you have questions about whether RTT is suitable for you or how I could help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I offer complimentary calls and I’m always more than happy to answer questions.

Prenatal and Birth

Nurtured by Josi

I’m Josi, a birth and postpartum doula, and a mum of four, including twins. My own journey through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood inspired me to support women and families during this life-changing time. I know firsthand how important it is to feel cared for, reassured, and truly nurtured.

As a doula, I provide a blend of evidence-based information, emotional encouragement, and practical support. Every woman’s experience is unique, so I tailor my care to meet your needs; whether you’re preparing for birth, planning a caesarean, or adjusting to life with a newborn. My role is to bring calm, confidence, and continuity, helping you feel supported at every stage.

Postpartum care is especially close to my heart. The early weeks can be both beautiful and overwhelming, and having a steady presence to lean on can make all the difference. I offer guidance, reassurance, and hands-on help so you can focus on rest, recovery, and bonding with your baby.

One of the ways I nurture families is through wholesome, healing meals, included in my postpartum support packages. Food plays a powerful role in recovery, and I create meals that promote warmth, energy, and healing, while also being delicious and comforting.

My goal is simple: to ensure mothers and families feel seen, supported, and cared for during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. With both professional training and lived experience, I bring knowledge, compassion, and heart to every family I serve.

You don’t have to do it alone – I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Katie’s Babies
Sleep

Katie’s Babies

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.

Mums in Bloom

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.

Life Ready Studio
Movement

Life Ready Studio

Life Ready Studio is an intimate, personal and supportive reformer pilates studio based in Caulfield North, Melbourne.

With only 7 reformers, the client experience feels like a personal session with constant instructor awareness, allowing for necessary adjustments throughout the class. Life Ready Studio was established by Teri, who wanted to create a space where clients could move in a group class but still be seen and adjusted where needed.

Teri thrives on helping and encouraging people to move confidently. She believes that creating a space that challenges clients whilst they move through all stages of life ( Pilates beginner, post injury, antenatal and postnatal as well as advanced Pilates enthusiasts) while feeling fully supported mentally and physically is the key to ultimate wellbeing.

Teri’s main passion is helping mothers and mothers-to-be feel strong and confident in their bodies before and after pregnancy. Having two boys (and a third baby on the way), Teri understands the importance of movement pre- and post-natally to aid the body during pregnancy, for birth, and, most importantly, for recovery. The studio provides support for mums-to-be throughout every trimester, adjusting movement to accommodate the changes in the body. The studio also provides mums and bubs classes so clients can move while having their baby next to them in the pram, on the mat or in the carrier. Each class helps clients regain their strength and confidence, while still allowing them to spend time with their baby and other like-minded mums.

It’s a hub for supportive, nourishing conversations. It doesn’t stop at strength and movement- the Life Ready community is one of a kind, gifting clients a really nurturing space to feel supported, get strong, and find a love for movement and wellbeing no matter what stage in life they’re at.

Hi, I’m Dr. Erin Hawken, a passionate Chiropractor dedicated to supporting mothers, babies, and families in their journey to a calm, clear, connected and resilient life. Having completed my postgraduate study in Chiropractic care for pregnancy, babies and children and being certificatied in the Webster technique, I have almost 20 years experience in looking after families through all the important times in life.

My journey in chiropractic began in my own family, where regular Chiropractic care was our first approach to health. This lifelong experience taught me that Chiropractic is more than just treating symptoms – it’s about creating a pathway to better living, healing, and connection.

I care for people with many different needs including:

  • Newborns struggling with constipation, feeding issues, or reflux
  • Mothers experiencing pregnancy-related discomfort or simply wanting to optimise their body for birth and beyond
  • Children struggling to meet their developmental milestones
  • Families seeking holistic health and stress management
  • Professionals dealing with stress, sleep issues, energy and mood challenges

My gentle, compassionate approach focuses on helping your nervous system change gears into your parasympathetic, rest & digest state – this is where your body can truly regulate and regenerate itself. This state is crucial for healing, development, creativity, and even experiencing deeper connections with yourself and your loved ones.

Whether you’re an expecting mother, a new parent, or simply someone seeking a more balanced, resilient approach to health, I’m here to support you. My goal is to help you rediscover life through a healthier body and a more clear, connected state of being. Let’s work together to unlock your body’s incredible potential for healing, growth, and well-being.

Through her private coaching programs, digital courses, Mama Joy Summit, writing and podcast, Danielle teaches ambitious, busy and always-on Mamas ‘in the thick of it’ to move from the mess to the magic of this season of life.

Her signature program BEYOND focuses on the ‘forgotten season’ of motherhood, teaching Mamas to put core foundations in place to support their thriving well beyond the traditional ‘postpartum’ period. Danielle works intuitively, blending a foundation in human behaviour, neuroplasticity-based coaching and strategy, with somatic principles, emotional context work and soul practices. She shares, “I moved across the world to a new city, 6 months pregnant, in the middle of a global pandemic. All to take action towards my dreams. It was tough. And it was rewarding. I birthed my baby at home, with my partner holding me, literally.

Entering motherhood was everything and nothing like I imagined. It’s pushed me beyond any emotional capacity I’ve ever been asked to experience. I’ve been on my knees sobbing on the bathroom floor not believing I could get up again. And I’ve been bursting with so much joy I thought my cheeks would explode.

Motherhood is one of the most courageous acts. I’m here to take your hand and show you back to your place of safety and strength, so you can fully expand into this season of life. So you can live your most joyful life and feel your most vibrant self.”

Danielle currently lives in Sydney with her daughter and partner, dreaming up the next adventure for their family.

Motherscape

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!

Our speech pathologists support infant feeding development, including assessment and management of oral motor skills, swallowing safety, and transitioning to solids. Whether your baby is struggling with different textures, is fussy with feeding, or has additional medical needs affecting feeding skills, we can help.

What makes us different is our family-centred, team-based approach. We work alongside parents and caregivers, respecting your values and preferences while offering clear, evidence-based advice.

We offer in-clinic services, with free and easy parking, at our warm and welcoming Paddington clinic. Home visits and virtual / telehealth appointments are also available. Whether you’re an expectant parent seeking feeding preparation, a new mother needing breastfeeding or bottle feeding support, or a family managing feeding challenges or allergies in an older baby or toddler, Queensland Lactation & Feeding Specialists are here to guide and support you at every stage.

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.

Kirsten Hannan Osteopath & IBCLC Sydney

Hi, I’m Kirsten! I’m an Australian-trained and registered osteopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, offering holistic osteopathic care for the whole family. I have a special interest in pregnancy and postpartum care, and I love working with babies and children of all ages.

In addition to my osteopathic training, I am also a registered International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This unique combination allows me to integrate gentle, effective bodywork with evidence-based lactation support—helping mothers overcome challenges and achieve their individual breastfeeding goals, whatever they may be.

I began my career as a senior associate osteopath in a busy private clinic in Australia, where I worked for three years before relocating to Singapore in 2008. There, I joined Osteopathic Health Care and practiced for 12 years, building a strong reputation for family-based care. In 2020, I returned to Sydney and now practise at Body of Life Health Centre, a multidisciplinary health clinic, in Frenchs Forest.

My mission is to provide gentle, informed care for you and your little ones – at every stage. With over 20 years of clinical experience—and a deep understanding of the challenges that come with parenting—I’m committed to helping you understand the root causes of pain or discomfort, whether it’s your own or your child’s.

By explaining what’s happening, why it’s happening now, and how we can work together toward recovery, I aim to give you not just relief, but long-term confidence in your body’s ability to heal. Through skilled osteopathic treatment and personalised care, I’m here to help you feel informed, supported, and well.

With extensive experience working with families I understand the importance of the whole family unit and the pivotal role they play in supporting you through this time. I am committed to empowering you by promoting supportive decision making, providing up to date current information and assisting in fostering connections between you and your baby. My aim is to instil you with confidence, empower you with knowledge and support your decisions.

I am a Registered Nurse/Midwife and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I have had 17 years experience working as a Registered Nurse/Midwife in both the private and public hospital sectors. I am highly skilled in a variety of environments including birth suite, ante/postnatal wards, postnatal domiciliary/home visits and clinical education. I have been privileged to care for a variety of women and families and promote a holistic family-centred approach, which is focused on meeting your goals and needs. I am committed to providing the best care to all women and babies, with a special interest in supporting and working with women who have additional mental health needs, such as anxiety and depression. To compliment my special interest I have recently completed a Graduate Diploma of Health (Perinatal and Infant Mental Health) at Federation University.

In addition to my professional career, I am a wife and mother to 3 gorgeous children. My happy place is in the kitchen where I unleash my creativity by developing recipes and meals that help to restore and nourish you in your postpartum period; feed and nurture the soul; and my favourite – bring loved ones together.

Nourishy
Feeding

Nourishy

Hi, I’m Cass — a mum of three and the founder of Nourishy. Like many mums, I know firsthand the challenges of expressing breast milk, navigating returning to work, travelling with a frozen stash, or simply wanting to make sure every drop of our “liquid gold” is used. That’s why I created Nourishy: to give families a safe, science-backed way to preserve their breast milk for the long term.

Nourishy is Australia’s first freeze-drying service for personal breast milk. We gently freeze-dry your milk at our medical-grade facility, turning it into a shelf-stable powder that lasts up to 3 years — no fridge or freezer needed. It’s convenient, travel-friendly, and perfect for shared feeding, daycare, and those “just in case” moments.

We’ve completed over 3,000 shipments across Australia, all arriving safely at our Brisbane facility— a testament to the robust process and care we take with every order. Each mum’s milk is handled individually and with the highest level of safety and attention — because we know how precious it is.

Whether you’re heading back to work, your freezer’s overflowing, or you’re building an emergency stash, we’re here to help you keep giving your baby your breast milk.

We’ve also partnered with the incredible team at Mother’s Milk Bank Charity to help freeze dry donor milk across Australia.

We are the offical partner to Milkify in the US. At Nourishy, it’s not just about preserving breast milk — it’s about supporting you on your feeding journey and creating peace of mind, one pouch at a time.

The Pillars Naturopathy
Nutrition

The Pillars Naturopathy

Hi, I’m Dominique McGuiredegree-qualified naturopath and founder of The Pillars Naturopathy, based in Manly Beach and also available Australia-wide via Telehealth. I work closely with women and families to support everything from digestive health and hormone balance to fatigue, skin issues, and mood.

As both a practitioner and a human, I know that true healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach to naturopathy, blending functional testing with clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, and realistic lifestyle advice to help you feel like you again – not just as a mum, but as a whole person.

Many of the women I work with come to me feeling burnt out, bloated, and like their bodies just aren’t working the way they used to. Some are navigating postpartum hormone shifts, breastfeeding challenges, or period issues after coming off contraception. Others are struggling with gut issues, low energy, or anxiety that seems to have worsened since becoming a parent. Wherever you’re at, we work together to get to the root cause and create a plan that fits in with your life – even if that life currently includes toddlers, night feeds, or limited time for yourself.

I offer comprehensive one-on-one support as well as structured programs like my Gut Feeling program, which includes microbiome testing, personalised protocols, and weekly check-ins. I’m also experienced in helping women prepare for pregnancy, optimise postpartum recovery, and support their children’s gut and immune health using gentle, targeted naturopathic care.

Above all, this is a safe, non-judgemental space to be honest about how you’re feeling. Whether you’re an expecting mum, navigating early motherhood, or trying to get your health back after years of putting yourself last – you’re in the right place.

Let’s work together to help you feel energised, empowered, and supported again.

Sarah Finnegan Photography

Hi, I’m Sarah — a Sydney-based maternity, newborn, and baby photographer with a studio in Norwest. I specialise in capturing natural, love-filled moments for growing families, with a calm and guided experience from start to finish.

I’ve been behind the camera for over 7 years and have poured my heart into creating meaningful experiences for mothers and families during the most fleeting seasons of life — pregnancy, newborn days, and baby milestones.

My photography style is warm, minimal, and timeless — no awkward posing, just real connection and emotion. Whether you’re dreaming of a glowing golden hour maternity session, a relaxed studio newborn shoot, or documenting your baby’s milestones (think 6, 9, or 12 months), I’m here to help you slow down and soak in this season while I turn it into memories you’ll treasure forever.

My studio has been lovingly designed with mums and bubs in mind — soft lighting, luxe yet cozy furnishings, and a curated client wardrobe so you don’t need to stress about what to wear. I also guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable, supported, and confident in front of the camera.

More than just photos, these sessions are about honouring your journey into motherhood — the love, the chaos, the quiet in-between. It’s about capturing you exactly as you are in this season, and preserving it in a way that feels honest, beautiful, and true to you.

If you’re a new or expecting mum and thinking, “I don’t want to forget this moment,” then I’d love to be the one to help you hold onto it.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
