The moment between two worlds.

This little one is mere seconds away from being born, about to change her parents’ lives forever.

A perfectly gentle entry - intense but calm, powerful but peaceful.
⁣
This is just the beginning.

Today, we pause to honour the lives of babies lost during pregnancy, birth or infancy - and to hold space for the deep and lasting grief carried by so many families.

This day is a powerful reminder that pregnancy and infant loss touches more lives than we often realise. For every family who has experienced this heartbreak: your grief is acknowledged, your loss matters and your baby is remembered.

As a community, and even more so within the obstetric space, we must continue working towards a world where these conversations are met with openness, not silence. Where loss is validated, not hidden. Where support is available without judgment or stigma.

Tonight at 7pm, please join the global Wave of Light by lighting a candle in memory of the little lives lost too soon. Whether you’ve walked this path or stand beside someone who has, your light matters.

Meet Chantelle! Whilst Jess .mama.physio is on maternity leave, we’re lucky to have two incredible physios caring for our patients. Last week, you met Anne - tonight, I’m excited to introduce you to Chantelle.

Chantelle Simioni is a skilled and empathetic physiotherapist with a special interest in pelvic health and performance-related physiotherapy. She holds a Doctor of Physiotherapy from The University of Melbourne and brings extra expertise in Pelvic Health, Dry Needling and Pilates.

With a background in elite sport and dance (national-level Sport Aerobics, now Aerial Silks and Straps), Chantelle deeply understands the physical demands of high performance on the body, especially the pelvic floor.

She has a particular passion for the antenatal and postnatal periods, supporting women through pregnancy, birth and recovery with compassion, evidence-based care and a focus on helping you return to what you love - whether that’s exercise, performance or simply feeling stronger in daily life.

When she’s not treating patients, you’ll likely find her training for her next aerial performance or walking her adorable cavoodle, Charlie.

Chantelle will be consulting on Fridays. We’re absolutely thrilled to have her on the team while Jess is away!

Enjoy your maternity leave Jess!

Our incredible Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapist .mama.physio is now officially on maternity leave - not long now until she welcomes her twin girls!

We will certainly miss Jess’ calm, empathetic and compassionate approach to her work. Her incredible skill and expertise have become an important hallmark of our practice since we joined last year.

Over the next week, I’ll be introducing the two wonderful physios who will be looking after our patients while she’s away. Both bring incredible experience and a passion for women’s health - you’re certainly still in exceptional hands. Stay tuned!

Swipe left to see a caesarean section scar 7 days following birth (with permission from my patient) - just look at that wound healing!
⁠
I’m now using PICO negative pressure wound therapy dressings for all my caesareans and the results speak for themselves.⁠

This innovative system gently applies negative pressure to the incision, helping to:
✔️ Reduce swelling and pain⁠
✔️ Boost blood flow and tissue regeneration⁠
✔️ Minimise infection risk⁠
✔️ Improve comfort and healing speed⁠
⁠
Patients love how comfortable and low-maintenance the dressing is. From a medical perspective, every wound is reviewed by one of my practice midwives one week following birth, and then again a week later - we have been beyond impressed with the results. I believe this is the future of post-operative recovery.⁠
