💜 Baby Massage & Baby Yoga starts Monday in Goulburn! 🐻🌿

Our relaxed 4-week Baby Massage & Baby Yoga series starts Monday 24th August, 10–11am at Inside Out Studio.

Each week we’ll focus on a different area of your baby’s body, learning simple massage strokes and gentle yoga movements that you can also use at home.

🌿 This week we’ll focus on:
• Legs & hips
• Tummy massage to help ease tummy discomfort
• Gentle movement and stretches

Baby massage and yoga can be a lovely way to slow down and connect with your baby, while supporting relaxation, comfortable movement and body awareness.

No experience is necessary. I’ll guide you through the massage strokes and yoga routine using my demonstration doll, so you can follow along with your baby.

And most importantly, the sessions are baby-led and relaxed. Feeding, nappy changes, cuddles, crying, settling and taking a break are all welcome. 💕

As World Breastfeeding Week comes to a close, I wanted you to know that I'm still here for you.

Im here for moments when doubts creep in.
When you're not sure if you're doing it right.
When baby latches on and it's so sore.
When you're searching "is this normal?"and still cant find the answer.

That's what I'm here for, to offer you support, reassurance and encouragement.
A safe space with no judgement and no question being too small.

I offer home visits and online consults for those out of my region

If you're in the thick of it right now, I'd love to help. Send me a DM and i can share more details

I'd also love to know what's one thing you wish someone had told you during your breastfeeding journey that would have been helpful to know?

Whatever your answer is, there is no right or wrong. Every mum's breastfeeding journey is different and that's completely okay.

Sadly some mums who have tried expressing, end up feeling stressed and feel they have failed. They believed something was wrong and that they would have no milk for their baby.

You will be surprised how many mums actually dont get any colostrum, or dont the first few times but keep practising and eventually get a drop or 2

Not being able to collect colostrum before birth is no indication of what your supply will be like after birth 🌸

09/07/2026

Feeling stressed because you've tried to express antenatally and nothing is coming out.

You're not alone. Try not to feel disheartened. It doesnt mean something is wrong. Not seeing colostrum before your birth doesn't mean you wont have any for your little one, once it arrives

If you're birthing team has recommended antenatal expressing and its safe for you to do so, keep practising. Even if you're not collecting colostrum, you're becoming familiar with your breasts and learning a skill that can be helpful once your baby arrives.

Once your little one is born, your milk making hormones kick in and your body starts increasing your milk supply. Your baby's feeding will then help your body build and adjust your milk supply to meet their needs

Trust your body, You're already doing a fantastic job growing your little one

Got questions on antenatal expressing feel free to DM me

Share this with any expectant mums who may be having doubts on their ability or needs some reassurance 🌸

Engorgement, latch struggles and sore ni***es often go hand in hand but most mums don't realise they're connected.

When your milk starts to come in your breasts can feel rock hard and your ni***es can flatten making it almost impossible for your baby to latch properly leading to a baby fussy at the breast and sore ni***es

If you're in the thick of it right now, you don't have to figure it out alone. DM me or reply below if you would like more support or information on some handy techniques to try

Save this for when you might need it or share it to a new mum who might appreciate it.

I recently sat with a mum who apologised three times for how messy her house was
But guess what, I didn't notice the mess.

However what i did notice was how hard she was trying.
How exhausted she was
How much she loved her baby

That's what I see when I walk through someone's door

Don't let this hold you back, from reaching out

If you're in the thick of it right now - you're doing so much better than you think 🌸

I'm here to offer you guidance and to support you through your journey.
Regional home visits and online consults available.
DM if you would like more information or to make a booking.

11/05/2026

To every mum who is exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering if she's doing enough
You are!!!
Some days are messed up.
Some feeds are hard.
Some nights are long. Very long
And that's okay.
We see you and all that you're doing
You don't have to have it all figured out.
You don't have to do it alone
And I'm always here if you ever need support with your feeding journey.

One of the most common concerns I hear from breastfeeding mums is about their milk supply.

When I’m supporting a new mum and bub, these are a few of the things I look at to help reassure me that feeding is going well - which you could check too
- nappy outputs,
- weight gains,
- baby's feeding patterns,
- how baby is latched and sucking at the breast,
- how content baby is

If you’re worried about your milk supply or feeding just isn’t feeling right, you're always welcome to reach out for some extra support

Sometimes, its just a tweak here and there plus a bit of reassurance that can make all the difference

Save this post as a handy reminder of the signs your little one is getting enough milk
