Things I’d genuinely want another mum to know about

If I could recommend one person to every mum walking out of her newborn session, it would be Bec. A postpartum doula and mum of three, Bec supports Perth families through those overwhelming early weeks, practical help, newborn care, meal prep, emotional support, and someone who will genuinely remind you to eat lunch and take a shower. Postpartum feels a lot less lonely with Bec in your corner.

If the newborn nights feel relentless, Taking Cara Babies is the resource I point every mum towards. Created by a neonatal nurse and mum, it's a beautifully practical online program covering sleep, feeding and settling, giving you real tools and the confidence to use them. A gentle, evidence-based approach that actually works.

Dr Sonya at Tassell Chiropractic has looked after my own kids since birth and I trust her completely. Gentle chiropractic care for newborns and babies can make such a difference through those early weeks of growth and adjustment and Sonya approaches every little one with such care and warmth. If you're in the Riverton area, she's absolutely worth a visit.

A qualified chef and mumma to two littles, Tara left her restaurant career because she wanted to do something that truly mattered, nourishing mothers. She creates personalised, healing meals designed to support your postpartum recovery, with replenishment at the heart of every recipe. Think one-handed snacks for the long nights, lactation support treats, and meals that feel like a big warm hug. Because this gig is bloody hard, and you deserve to be fed properly.

I met Jacqui through our kids' school and I'm so glad I did. A personal trainer of 15+ years and mum of two, Jacqui has created a space where mums can train without the pressure to "bounce back" or chase unrealistic ideals, just supportive workouts that actually fit real life with kids in tow. Face to face classes welcome babies and little ones, and she also offers online coaching for mums who need something more flexible. If you're in Oakford, Byford, Baldivis or surrounds, Jacqui is the gold standard.
