Since becoming a Mum 7 years ago, I have felt the need to begin a new venture and follow a passion of mine. I am very passionate about all things Mum life and love helping, supporting and learning from other Mum’s who are also in the thick of ‘Mamahood’. With Florence I had a really difficult time breastfeeding, and my milk supply (I will write a blog about my story in more depth). I triple fed her for 16 weeks. It was exhausting, and it was difficult and it stole my beautiful newborn days/weeks with her. It definitely showed my stubborn trait (as my husband would tell you). Hence the Lactation Range that I have developed. This was an important line for me to include in The Mamahood Collective as I had so much trouble with my milk supply I wanted to be able to have something that I can offer to support Mum’s in the same position - to help support them on their Breastfeeding Journey.
Previous to becoming a SAHM I was a teacher. I completed my Bachelor of Education in both Primary and Early Childhood, but found my passion to be teaching in the 0-5 years. The caring and nurturing role of teaching, supporting and learning from my little sidekicks has transferred over to this space where I want to be able to create a supportive, safe, fun and non-judgmental space for Mum’s to enjoy and participate in.
Mamahood is a really tough gig, it has been the toughest thing I have done in my entire life. I love being a Mum, however the feeling of loneliness and losing myself and my purpose over the latter years has been very real. I feel like I need this space just as much as you may feel like you need it too! Together we can chat about all things that relate to being a Mum, but also, other interests like food/recipes, self-care (I really need some encouragement here), fitness (help here also!), pregnancy, birth stories, postpartum, breastfeeding, fashion, sports (I am Netball crazy!) and anything else we find interest in.
