Nourishing organic meals + snacks included in every Postpartum Care offering

Want access to experts and specialists in mothercare and beyond?

Knowledge is power. Our aim is to unravel and interpret the latest research and evidence-based practices for pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. As mums and researchers ourselves, we have experienced first-hand the overwhelming complexity of information, myths and old-wives tales. Even worse, 'advice' is being given to mums without the proper context or knowledge of their individual needs. So tune in to hear us ask experts, researchers and specialists about all things mother care, pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Let’s be honest, mama, the fourth trimester can feel like total chaos. From sore boobs and broken sleep to cold coffee and toast crusts, it's a full sensory experience. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, touched out, or like you might actually dissolve from sleep deprivation... this one’s for you.

In this episode, Dr. Renee White sits down with the brilliant and hilarious Amelia Lamont, also known as The Midwife Mumma. Amelia is a midwife, sleep and lactation consultant, mum of four and now, author of her brand new book The Midwife Mumma. And if you're after a straight-talking, no-filter guide to surviving early motherhood, this book (and this chat) is exactly what you need.

Whether you’re a first-time mum, juggling multiple kids, navigating mental health challenges, or running a small business while caring for a newborn, this one’s for you.
