Postnatal Support Services
Support that continues beyond birth - because the fourth trimester matters too.
We understand that every family’s journey is unique, and not everyone has a “village” to lean on during those early weeks and months with a new baby. The transition to parenthood can be beautiful, but also overwhelming - and that’s completely normal.
Whether you're looking for guidance around feeding, sleep and settling, or simply need a space to feel heard and cared for, we’re here for you. Our postnatal support services are designed to help you feel empowered, supported and connected as you navigate this new chapter - with practical advice, gentle reassurance and genuine care every step of the way.

I can’t recommend Pip highly enough.
From the moment she began supporting us postnatally, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and genuine care into our home. She was always there with thoughtful advice, practical support, and emotional reassurance which was much needed as this was my first baby. Pip’s presence turned a potentially overwhelming time into a deeply supported and positive experience

I could not recommend a better person
We met Pip when our baby girl, Luiza was 5 weeks, shortly after I was diagnosed with post-natal depression.
With my mum not able to come to Australia due to COVID, I had no family support to help me and my husband with our first child.
Pip came held my hand and listened to me with love and no judgement, just like my mum would have. She shared her tips and wisdom and week by week, I became more confident as a mother.
Today Luiza is almost 6 months and I can't let Pip go! I trust her with my eyes closed and I know she cares for Luiza as if she were her own daughter.
I could not recommend a better person.
