Our vision is to see all parents Empowered, Equipped and Enjoying life with their new baby
Improving and Transforming The Quality of Postpartum Care
Our Co-Founders, after working in the public sector for many years, became increasingly concerned about the growing number of parents facing life with a newborn without meaningful support.
Thus, Melbourne Postpartum Services was born!
Our Mission is that instead of the postpartum period being feared, ill-planned for and suffered through, parents are instead empowered with solid confidence and community.
We raise the bar and deliver personalized support to those parents who don’t want to just grit their teeth and wish the postpartum period away. We help parents dare to actually love and truly enjoy their postpartum journey.
Our Values
Evidence-based: Our practitioners are mothers with real life experiences, but we are also educated professionals who care deeply about making sure you are given safe support and trustworthy information that fits your circumstances. A ‘one-sized-fit-all’ approach is outdated and can be harmful. Know that you don’t have to wade through the ocean of advice and opinions alone but can become emboldened with deep confidence in your parenting.
Empowerment: You need more then just information to get you through those early postpartum days. You need someone who will help awaken your intuition and truly embrace your new role as a parent. No more debilitating self-doubt, overwhelm and dread. We fully intend to do ourselves out of a job by making sure you don’t need us anymore but can boldly stand on your own two feet.
Nourishment: Birth, in every single way, is a massive feat that deserves due consideration and rest afterwards. Likewise, caring for a newborn day and night, while healing from birth, can be exceptionally hard work and at times. Life can then feel near impossible when trying to get through all this while also caring for yourself, let alone the rest of your family. Allow us to nourish you and your family, to step in so that you can tap out for a short while and focus on what truly matters.
Village building: We firmly believe in the value of true support. This can look different from family to family, and may change over time, but the benefits remain the same. Some parents don’t have a dependable village when their parenting journey begins and some people will underestimate the impact that this will make on their well-being and their child. A postpartum professional may be a part of your initial ‘village’, but at Melbourne Postpartum services, our true endeavor is to make sure you are connected to like-minded, non-judgmental people who will support you in your ever-continuing parenting journey. Our privately run mother groups are just one piece of this puzzle.
