Hi, I'm Narelle! 

After 20 years living abroad, I am delighted to have recently relocated back in Australia, where I am now residing with my family on the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria.

I am a mother to 3 beautiful children
and a traditional postpartum care doula and birth educator, providing a high level of in-home support for mothers after childbirth, throughout the first forty days.


Ayurvedically trained and an *Innate Traditions certified care provider, I draw on traditional wisdom and modalities to support a mothers healing after childbirth, ensuring she can heal to her fullest potential, feel amazing in her body and thrive in her new role as a mother.

I far too often see mothers after they have given birth, feeling overwhelmed, depleted, improperly nourished, isolated and exhausted.

Our children’s health is contingent on the health of out mothers, yet we find ourselves in a culture that has long forgotten how to properly educate and care for our mothers, offering at best, a 6 week postpartum check-up, that is typically to give the green light for sex.

  In-tact communities have known how to properly tend to their mothers since time immemorial.

We have a roadmap of time-tested practices to guide us through the first forty days after childbirth, mitigating the risks of depletion, isolation, overwhelm, burnout, anxiety depression and a cascade of other issues that have become synonymous with having a baby. 

I place a strong emphasis on very specific, traditional, healing and nourishing food and warming body treatments as well as various other modalities to support a new mothers healing and recalibration. 

After a delightfully healthy pregnancy and a natural home birth with my first baby, and despite my background as a doula and a prenatal yoga instructor, I found myself absolutely unprepared, under- supported and in complete overwhelm, exhaustion and imbalance in my body in the wake of my new baby. Having my baby marked the beginning of a long journey to recovery and also the beginning of my life work in support of mothers.

It is my wish for you mama, that you come to understand the dire necessity of receiving the right kind of postpartum care, so that you may be fully held, physically, emotionally and spiritually. through this brief, yet potent pocket of time.

With ample rest and loving support, paired with right foods and modalities, I will support your whole and complete postpartum recovery, empowering you as a woman, so that you and your entire family can thrive.
