Not sure what kind of support you actually need?

That’s exactly why we created our Clarity Sessions.

These are not discovery calls.
And they’re not sales conversations.

They are contained, practical, steady sessions designed for the space where things feel heavy. The space where:
• You’re second-guessing decisions
• You’ve been given too much conflicting advice
• You’re exhausted and everything feels urgent
• You love your baby deeply but feel unsettled in yourself

Many of the parents we support don’t need a rigid plan.
They need perspective.
Organisation.
A calmer frame around what’s happening.

Clarity Sessions help you:
• Slow the noise
• Make sense of what’s actually driving the strain
• Let go of pressure that isn’t serving you
• Decide what matters most right now
• Leave with next steps you genuinely trust

Sometimes one conversation is enough.
Sometimes it becomes the first step into deeper support.

Either way, you leave clearer than you arrived.

Early parenthood isn’t just practical.
It’s an identity shift.

And support shouldn’t only begin once things fall apart.

If you’re ready to think clearly again, this is a steady place to start.

Melbourne Postpartum Services exists because we saw a gap.

Practical help with the baby or the house. Or clinical mental health support AFTER things had escalated.

Both matter. But there was very little in between.

Very little support for the parent who wasn’t in crisis — but also wasn’t steady.

Very little space for the capable, thoughtful parent who felt overwhelmed, second-guessing, and quietly unravelled — yet didn’t meet the threshold for a diagnosis.

And often, by the time clinical support was offered, they were already deeply depleted.

Not because they weren’t doing well. But because the noise was loud, the pressure was great and the support wasn’t steady enough.

We started MPS to serve that middle space.

We are qualified allied-health professionals with training in newborn development, neurobiology, and evidence-based early parenting approaches. We’re also deeply experienced in supporting parents through the emotional and relational transition of this stage.

We combine real understanding of newborn behaviour with grounded, non-judgemental conversations that help parents think clearly again.

If that resonates, start with our pinned posts.

You’ll quickly understand how we work.

You’re not bad at this.
You’re overloaded.

Most parents we support at Melbourne Postpartum Services aren’t struggling because they lack information.

They’re struggling because they have too much of it.

When you’re tired and emotionally stretched, conflicting advice doesn’t feel neutral.
It feels urgent. Personal. High-stakes.

That’s when second-guessing creeps in.

Clarity isn’t about someone telling you the “right” way.

It’s about slowing the noise enough to work out what makes sense for your baby, your values, and your capacity.

If the mental load of early parenthood feels heavier than you expected, you don’t have to sort it out alone.

You can love your baby and still feel completely out of your depth.

Many parents prepare for the practical side of postpartum.
Many of the families we support at Melbourne Postpartum Services tell us they expected to be exhausted.

Fewer prepare for the internal shift.

The gap between what you expected this season to feel like and what it actually feels like can be confronting.

Especially if you’re someone who’s used to coping well.
Used to solving problems. Used to feeling steady.

When that steadiness wobbles, it can feel personal.
Like you’re doing something wrong.

You’re not.

Early parenthood stretches capacity in ways most people don’t talk about.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of it on your own and it’s starting to feel heavy, you don’t have to keep holding it alone.

Our Clarity Sessions are designed for exactly this. To slow things down. To make sense of what’s happening. To leave with a plan you trust.

Calm and practical

We measure success differently.

Success isn’t:
A baby who never cries.
A baby who sleeps through at 10 weeks.
A perfectly predictable routine.

Success is:
A parent who pauses before reacting.
A parent who knows crying isn’t failure.
A parent who can think clearly at 7pm instead of spiralling.

Yes, we talk about sleep.
Yes, we talk about feeding.
Yes, we offer practical strategies.

But what we’re really building is confidence under pressure.
That’s the foundation that lasts beyond the newborn stage.

Not all support is about fixing your baby.

Many parents come to us feeling like something needs to be solved.
The crying.
The sleep.
The feeding.

And yes, we absolutely help you understand what’s happening.

But our work isn’t about controlling your baby into being quieter or sleeping longer.

It’s about helping you feel steady enough to respond without spiralling.

It’s about helping you understand what’s developmentally normal, what might help, and what doesn’t need fixing.

Sometimes babies still wake.
Sometimes they still cry.

And you CAN still feel calm and competent.

That’s success.

If you’re tired of feeling like every hard moment means you’re failing, this is the kind of support we offer.

It's no secret, parents ( especially new parents) are universally voicing feeling of overwhelm and confusing - and for many a large part of the issue is the mountain conflicting advice.

When multiple candid commentaries, a billion blogs on must-do tasks ( and buys) and the constant stream of uninvited remarks bombard you each and every day - it becomes difficult to know if what your doing is 'right', if there is a 'better way', and if you will ever find your confidence again.

I remember feeling all this and more.

I went on a journey to help me believe in myself again, to believe in my ability to parent the way that I inwardly knew my children needed. I didn't get there by myself, I'm not sure anyone does. And so now I live to pass on this gift.

This is what I have helped other parents find - their confidence, a path forward that is congruent with their values and goals.

And if this is what you want too - don't be afraid to reach out to us and simply start a conversation

Oh baby, what is up with your hair?

Welcome to the unique and strange world of newborns! They come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, but sometimes one of the most unique features of a newborn is their head of hair!
From those precious tufts of peach fuzz to the softest mohawks, the various types of hair they are born with can be absolutely adorable. And while the hair may not stay forever ( as its common for it to fall out/ be rubbed off in those early months), it’s a fun fact that newborns can even change the type of hair they have over the course of their first few months ( both of mine were born with thick dark hair and before they were 1 both had fine blond hair!).

Some bubbas are born with an absence and take time to catch up to their peers, which is also completely normal. From spiky to downy and everything in between, newborns can rock every kind of hairstyle. So enjoy this special time and all the unique looks your little bundle of joy can show off!
Tell us, was your baby born with a head of hair? How is it now? Show us your beautiful baby.
