Melbourne Postpartum Services
Hi, we are Melissa and Rachael, sisters and co-founders of Melbourne Postpartum Services (MPS). After working in the public sector for many years we both became increasingly concerned about the growing number of parents facing life with a newborn without meaningful support. We have been there, in the trenches, and know how life changing *actual* support can be at this time of life.
Thus, 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 do this by raising 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 love and truly enjoy their postpartum journey. This usually happens though a combination of support – we help parents through equipping of newborn parenting skills, helping parents tune in and trust their own intuition, creating safe spaces for deep and meaningful conversations, breastfeeding support, sleep and settling support, helping care for children while parents rest, cooking and light cleaning, support during postpartum appointments, connecting to other services, and the list goes on. Come 2023 we will also launch a series of private and intimate mother groups and hold regular community education seminars to help people proactively plan for their postpartum.
Among other specialities we have extensive experience in supporting people who have experienced mental health struggles both pre and postnatally. We are also able to offer support to NDIS participants, depending on their plan or goals. Contact us to ask how. Our qualifications, between the two sisters include: Registered Nurse, Social Work, Psychology, Postpartum Doula, Newborn Mothers Collective graduate. Visit our website to learn more.
If you are interested in having a postpartum experience which you enjoy and get to develop a deep bond with your new baby, please visit our website and drop us a line to organise a free chat. We would love to hear from you.
