We live in an age of endless parenting information. Answers are available within seconds, yet many new parents have never felt more overwhelmed or alone.

For most of human history, mothers raised babies in community. Today, families are often navigating one of life's biggest transitions with little support, while trying to make sense of a flood of advice, opinions and products.

The postpartum period is a time of profound change. Through matrescence, motherhood literally reshapes the brain, while hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation and new responsibilities can leave parents searching for reassurance and certainty.

What families need isn't always more information.

They need responsive, respectful and educated postpartum professionals who understand the science, honour each family's choices, support the wellbeing of the whole family, and bring warmth, encouragement and genuine human connection to every interaction.

Because while information is abundant, personalised support is priceless

We live in a society where our basic postpartum care needs are not met. Up to 1 in 5 woman in Aotearoa New Zealand will experience postnatal depression, postnatal anxiety, or both.

If it is within your means, please save up, prep, or plan for your postpartum care. The more this becomes the norm, the more visibility it receives and the tide will change, slowly but surely.

We must do better for mothers, and I won't stop advocating for postpartum care as a basic human right, until it becomes the norm for every mother.

So very pleased that the conversation around postpartum support, or the lack of it for many, has begun. Mothers deserve a considerate community and real, practical help from their village in this very important time. Our society's well-being depends on it!
Thank you Brodie for such a thoughtful interview 🙏

We tell mums to ask for help, but it’s not that simple

Sometimes it’s the internal stuff -
“I should be able to do this by myself"
“I don’t want to be a burden, everyone is busy”

And sometimes it’s bigger than that -
support isn’t always easy, possible or affordable to access, and we've always been taught to be independent.

So if asking for help feels hard, that makes sense

Part of my support includes village-building resources for these situations. I'm there to work myself out of a job, and create ongoing resilience and capacity for families to thrive.

Becoming a mum is a psychological shift no one prepares you for… and as a society we need to do better in supporting new mothers.

Call on me when things feel too heavy, you want to prepare for the week ahead with some capacity, you're in the midst of the early weeks, or you just need a house refresh and some nourishing food in the fridge.

Anytime is a good time.
