🌀 6 Transformational Modules - Step-by-step guidance to move from survival into self-trust, calm, and connection. Modules are all pre-recorded, with printable reflection PDFs.
🌀 Weekly Live Coaching + Support Sessions - Be guided, seen, and supported in real time — with space for questions, reflection, and integration.
🌀 Holistic Healing Tools Including tapping, Bioresonance, and somatic practices to regulate your nervous system.
🌀 Private Online Community - A sacred space for connection and support with other mothers walking this path.

💬 What Mothers Are Saying

“The Motherlove Method™ didn’t just support me as a mother — it’s been an act of self-love that helped me reclaim my journey. Samara’s warmth and wisdom created a safe space where I could explore my emotions and reconnect with the woman I am. It’s not about perfection — it’s about connection.”
💛 Sharnah

“As a busy mother of two young boys, Sam has been a breath of fresh air in the chaos. She helped me reconnect with my inner child and reminded me how deeply I need to nurture myself, too.”
💛 Amber

“It was so comforting to sit in a space where other women could relate — to feel safe and held, rather than shameful and guilty. For the first time, I feel hopeful.”
💛 Alison

“This journey helped me return to parenting from my heart and intuition — without guilt or overwhelm. I finally know I am everything my children need, just as I am.”

Happy world breastfeeding week!

Breastfeeding is a learnt skill.
Even though it’s beautiful and natural breastfeeding doesn’t come easy for many Mamas.

I want to acknowledge all Mamas on this journey and sending much love to those Mamas struggling and those Mamas who couldn’t make it through. I see you! 💖

As a Pregnancy/Postpartum Massage therapist and postpartum Doula I believe education is key. Prepare yourself in pregnancy and enrol in a breast feeding course or see a lactation consultant (IBCLC) for a pre-natal breastfeeding preparation appointment.

✨Here are some of the wonderful lactation consultants - IBCLC’s I know and recommend on the Mornington Peninsula.

✨Keep up the amazing job you are doing Mamas, however you are feeding your baby!

Last day doula-ing with this beautiful mama of three!🫶

✨It’s been an incredible honour to support Steph for the last six weeks. It’s always bittersweet when I finish up with my doula clients as I’ll miss the weekly visits, but it’s also humbling to know that she is now in a place where she feels ready to cope with the demands of being a Mama. (With the village she has around her.)

✨Steph’s transition from 2 to 3 kids has been admirable. She planned her Postpartum with intention to focus on getting rest and nourishment where and when she could.

✨Not only did she have me support her once a week, but she also enlisted in a cleaner, food delivery service (in the first month,) and leaned on her village when needed.

✨This allowed Steph the time to focus on bonding, attachment and breastfeeding her beautiful newborn. (& to mother her other kids too!)

✨It wasn’t the most smoothest Postpartum, as she did face her hurdles along the way. Having support of a village around her and setting boundaries made this time a lot more manageable and enjoyable.

✨Thank you Steph for allowing me to come into your home to cook you nourishing meals, massage you, hold space for you and care for you during your early days of Postpartum.

Wishing you all the best in your journey as a mother of three!

Many blessings,
Marisa x
