Mother Nurture

Clinical aromatherapy and massage to support women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond.

Provider of natural aromatherapy products, aromatherapy education and baby massage training to help mothers care for themselves and their families. My qualifications, experience and passion in nursing, midwifery, clinical aromatherapy and massage provided the foundations for Mother Nurture. Whilst studying aromatherapy, it became evident through discussions with women that many were reluctant to u

se aromatherapy during their pregnancy. Women are quite vulnerable during this time and with so much confusing and conflicting advice it was often simpler to do without. This spurred me on to develop a service where women could be assured they were receiving expert advice and care. Using mother nature to nurture mothers was essentially the vision. Mother Nurture has been supporting women through the roller coaster of life since 2010. I also love to provide parents with simple tools, such as natural aromatherapy products, aromatherapy education and baby massage techniques, to help care for themselves and their families.

❄️ Winter Wellness Tips ❄️

Support your body and your mind this season
As the days grow colder, it’s natural to feel a little more tired, flat, or run-down. Winter is your invitation to slow down and nourish yourself with small, meaningful rituals.

Here are my favourite ways to stay well in winter:

🌿 Move gently – Walks, stretching or yoga help keep your energy flowing
🍲 Nourish with warm, seasonal food – Think soups, herbal teas, and immune-boosting herbs
😴 Prioritise rest – Create a cosy wind-down routine (bonus: essential oils help here!)
🧠 Care for your mental health – Journaling, creativity, and staying connected can work wonders
🪟 Get some Fresh Air - Get outside daily, whatever the weather! Also, open up windows and doors to air out the house when possible.

And of course... aromatherapy is your winter best friend ✨

I’ve created custom blends to support you and your family:
🤲 Protect – to purify the air + protect against viruses
💨 Breathe – For clear breathing + sinus support
👶 Gentle Breathe – Safe + soothing for little ones
🛁 Cold & Flu Bath + Massage Blends – Warming, comforting and supportive
😃 Mood boosting essential oil blends + aroma roll-ons

Available now in the shop – message me or tap the link in bio to explore.

Take care this winter – your body and mind will thank you 💚

I absolutely love teaching baby massage to new (or expectant) parents! Once the correct techniques and sequences are learnt, it’s a tool parents can use throughout their child’s life - not just for babies but right up to teenage years. A skill for life!

My next Baby Massage course starts Saturday 19th July at MAMA Midwifery Practice
TWO SPOTS left - or you can join the Saturday session as an introduction.

Winter is well and truly upon us here in Melbourne ❄️

Not my favourite season: but a good excuse to slow down, hibernate and experiment with soup and porridge recipes 😊

Do you dread this time of year, entering winter full of trepidation, expecting a merry go round of illnesses in the family?

Would you like to be empowered to do more to enhance the health of yourself and your family?

Essential oils can help you do this. I have been so grateful to have these aromatic resources at my fingertips since before I had children. Nowadays the family come to me as soon as they feel a sore throat or a little off colour so we can implement some treatment straight away.

Essential oils may help in the following ways:
🌿supporting the immune system
🌿treating symptoms of colds and flu
🌿reducing the severity and duration of infections
🌿helping prevent the spread of infections to other members of the family

If you’d like more info, I have several blogs on my website discussing the use of essential oils for colds and flu; link in bio.

Need to stock up on aromatherapy essentials for winter? Stay tuned for a very special sale coming up this weekend!! 🎉

How are you feeling about winter??

Did you know there are many different types of lavender, thyme and chamomile?

There can be hundreds of different plants with the same common name, that in fact have different botanical names (also known as Latin names). This means the essential oil from these plants can vary widely in their chemistry.

Botanical names are specific to the species of plant we extract the essential oil from. Knowing exactly which essential oil you’re using is important, as it can impact:

🌿Safety & contraindications
🌿Therapeutic benefits
🌿Application methods

For example, ‘Lavender’ could mean Lavandula angustifolia (also known as “true lavender) or Lavandula latifolia (Spike lavender). “Chamomile” could mean Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) or German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) or a few other options.

Latin is a bit of a lost language, but it’s necessary to be aware of its significance in the plant world. I actually love languages (mostly those founded on Latin) and find the Latin names of plants and their associated essential oils interesting and sometimes funny! One of my favourites is Cymbopogan martini (Palmarosa) – it sounds like an interesting cocktail! 😆

SO – can you see why it’s extremely important to know the botanical name of your essential oils?

So wonderful teaching this beautiful family baby massage.💚

If you can't make the group baby massage courses, private sessions are always an option. You can pick a time that suits the whole family and we can adapt the class to your baby's needs.

Next baby massage course .au starts this Saturday and has 2 spots left. It is also possible to just attend one session as an introduction.
Link in bio or DM me for more info.

Life with a baby can be very unpredictable. I remember very clearly many instances when I would try to be so organised to be out of the house and at an appointment or event on time. Ha, my babies had their own agenda!! That would surely be the one day of the week they would not follow their usual routine, and my plan would be thwarted.

Some parents worry about how settled their baby will be during a baby massage class. The time of the class may not fit with their baby’s usual schedule. However, it is not expected that all babies will be ready for massage at each session.

We like to reassure parents that they can attend to any of their baby’s needs during the class. Many parents are surprised to discover that timing is one of the most important elements of baby massage.

Want to learn more about the nuances of baby massage? My next group course .au starts on 15th March. Introductory and private sessions also available.
