Wow. Reflecting on another incredible APP Pharmacy Conference 💗

I’ve been exhibiting at APP on and off for well over a decade, and this year truly hit differently. Seeing familiar faces who have supported me throughout my journey, meeting new pharmacy partners, and watching our industry continue to evolve under the leadership of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is something I never take for granted.

This year I also took a rare moment to stop, step back and just think… wow.
It hasn’t been easy building businesses and supporting brands in this space – but I felt incredibly proud seeing our stand come to life.

Especially proud of our PHRD house brands Happy Kat and Hunny Simply and of representing so many amazing founders and emerging brands as we continue bringing new products to market in pharmacy.

Thank you to everyone who came past, supported us, and shared the journey with us.

Here’s to the next decade of women in business, retail pharmacy innovation and what’s still to come ✨

The fourth trimester is a season no one can really prepare you for – the mix of recovery, emotion, feeding, learning, and trying to take care of yourself in between it all.

In this video, new mum Demi opens up about what those early weeks actually felt like, and the small supports that could make a real difference day to day.

Happy Kat’s postpartum essentials are designed to bring comfort and practicality to physical recovery, while ’s Breastfeeding multivitamin is formulated to support baby’s brain development, mum’s energy levels and breast milk production.

Two different types of support: one helping your body recover on the outside, one supporting your nutritional needs on the inside.

Because mums deserve to feel held through the raw, real early days.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Can anyone ever really prepare you for how vulnerable the moments after birth can feel?

Happy Kat Founder, Helen Sykes opens up from the green room about the part of motherhood that so often goes unseen - the exhaustion, the nutrient depletion, the emotional overwhelm, and the feeling of being quietly unsupported once the baby arrives.

This is why important postpartum products like Happy Kat and Elevit Breastfeeding exists.

Because new mums deserve more than “you’ve got this.”

They deserve real support, proper nourishment, and to feel held in those early days - physically, emotionally, and nutritionally.

Because let’s face it, no one really wants to talk about and it and it can get brutal!

Elevit Breastfeeding supports mums from the inside.

Happy Kat supports them on the outside.

Together, we’re united by one mission - to care for women after birth, not just during pregnancy.

This one’s for every mum who’s ever felt like she had to be strong when she was running on empty. We’ve got you, mumma.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

The ‘Kat’ is out of the bag… 👀

For too long, postpartum and fourth trimester care has left new mums overlooked while all the focus becomes about the baby.

Her recovery, her hormones, her identity, her mental load – is treated as an afterthought. The fourth trimester is one of the MOST demanding, vulnerable and transformative stages a woman will ever experience. And can NEVER truly prepare for…

That’s exactly why this partnership makes sense.

Today, I was in the Green Room at the Bayer Head Office filming content for a very, very exciting launch… and I genuinely had to pinch myself. In one hand I was holding my very own Happy Kat postpartum all-in-one essentials product, and in the other, globally known and trusted, Elevit Breastfeeding. Two brands with a shared mission – supporting mothers when they need it most.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been working closely with Elevit Breastfeeding at Bayer to create something that brings real support, education and care back to women in the postpartum period.

Mums deserve more than a “you’ll be right.” They deserve tools they can trust.

Our soft launch begins this week, with more announcements to come… watch this space as we make waves for us women who deserve it all!

We got you, mumma.
