One of the biggest highlights of my 2024 was attending the Convergence of Rebellious Midwives in Sydney!
It was an amazing few days filled with inspiring talks, brilliant people, and incredible birth wisdom 🙌

✨ And this year, I’ll be attending again — live and in person! Last year I wrote heaps of notes, posted them and shared them with everyone at home, and I'm planning to do the same again this year - so keep your eyes peeled (eyes emoji)

The speaker lineup is beyond exciting. Ina May Gaskin, the mother of modern US midwifery, is coming out of retirement to speak (via Zoom)! 💥

Plus, we’ll hear from incredible leaders in birth work:
💬 Hannah Dahlen – Women, midwifery & the politics of birth
💬 Rixa Freeze – PhD on Freebirth
💬 Sheena Byrom – UK midwife legend
💬 Pam Douglas, Athena Hammond, Kate Levett, and many more!

Your baby learns your voice at about 23 weeks gestation… and by 2 years old, they’ve already learned how to ignore it like a pro 😂

From “Aww, they know me!” to “HELLO?? Are you listening?!” — the toddler years are wild, mama.

What's your funniest 'are you even listening to me??' story? 👶🎧

🌸 To the mama who keeps replaying her birth journey in her mind…
You are not alone.

Birth trauma is real — and just because your baby is here doesn’t mean the emotional weight of your experience disappeared in the birth room, or as you walked out of hospital.

Maybe it was an emergency.
Maybe you felt ignored or dismissed.
Maybe things just didn’t go how you imagined.

Whatever it was… your feelings are real. Your story matters. Your healing deserves space.

💫 Come as you are.
✨ Be seen, heard, and supported.
✨ Share your story without judgment.
✨ Start your healing with softness, strength, and community.

This is a space for you. 💕 - Holly x

🩵 Birth Trauma Awareness Week 2025
📅 July 14–18 | Theme: THIS IS BIRTH

Every birth story is unique. For some, it's empowering. For some, they remember a funny moment in between the work. For others, it’s overwhelming — even traumatic. And for many, it’s a complicated mix of it all.

This week is about shedding light on the physical, spiritual, psychological and emotional impacts of birth trauma and advocating for more compassionate, trauma-informed care. It's a time to listen, learn, and support those who carry unseen wounds from their birthing experiences - whether they're the birthing parent or support crew.

Let’s come together to raise awareness, share stories, and stand beside the families who need to be seen, heard, and supported. 💙

🌼 Instagram Live – Birth Trauma Awareness Week 2025 🌼
I’m incredibly honoured to be joining as a special guest for this year’s powerful theme: THIS IS BIRTH 💛

✨ July 17 at 1:15PM ✨
I’ve been invited by the wonderful Claire from to take part in this important conversation—and I couldn’t be more grateful to share this space.

We’ll be going Live to open up real, raw, and heartfelt discussions around birth trauma—what it truly looks like, how it shapes us, and the strength it takes to heal. I'm specifically coming from a place as a midwife and birth trauma therapist, with a focus on supporting mums outside the metro area.

Whether you're a parent, birth worker, or simply someone who believes in respectful care—this is for you. 💬 Let’s shine a light on the unspoken stories, break the silence, and stand together in support and understanding.

🌿 Real stories. Real impact. Real support.
Mark your calendar, invite a friend, and join us in honouring birth in all its truths. - Holly x

Teaching Dad How to Breastfeed?
Yes, it’s a thing — and it matters! 💚
Dads play a huge role in supporting breastfeeding success. From helping with latch positioning to being the ultimate snack-and-water supplier, they’re key in making it all work.
Let’s empower every parent on this journey — together. 💪

The Family Room feels proud to honour the important milestone of 50 years of recognising Indigenous voices, cultures, and resiliencies, heralded by celebrations in this year's NAIDOC Week 2025.

This year's theme, "Strength, Vision & Legacy," finds its most vibrant expression in Jeremy Morgan Worrall's stunning artwork "Ancestral Lines."
Both capture something deeply true for those on the journey of matrescence, or supporting it—the need for connection, intergenerational wisdom, and strength drawn from those who came before us. It is a reminder that we should always be moving forward together with others, rather than isolating ourselves.

We share NAIDOC's vision for an Australia in which First Nations voices are not only heard but listened too and appreciated - and in leadership - and we contend that this starts with listening, reconciliation, and a willingness to walk beside our Indigenous peoples.

We too stand in solidarity with the NAIDOC call for National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance to be a recognised public holiday across Australia .

In this NAIDOC Week, we join the celebrations of the worlds longest living culture, and 50 years of acknowledging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rich history, culture, and accomplishments.

The theme for 2025, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy," reminds us of the awesome legacy left to us by those who have gone before and implores us to assist in lifting up the voices and leadership of young First Nations people who are paving this path into the future.

As a business, we acknowledge it is important to listen to, learn from, and walk beside Indigenous communities. We honour the strength in the past, the vision of today’s leaders, and the legacy we all forge for the next generation.

So let us join hands to make this world a better place for acceptance and respect—this week and forever.

Is your baby experiencing colic symptoms, constipation, or congestion?
You're not alone — and there’s a gentle, loving way to help ease their discomfort. 💚✨

Introducing Holly's 3 C’s Baby Massage Workshop – a calming and supportive session for parents and their little ones, focused on three common concerns many babies face in the early months:
🌀 Colic symptoms – relieve gas and tummy tension
🌀 Constipation – stimulate gentle movement and digestion
🌀 Congestion – ease breathing and sinus pressure, making feeds less fussy

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn baby massage techniques that you can confidently use at home to comfort your bub, improve their sleep, and support overall wellness while increasing your own confidence and knowledge. It’s also a beautiful way to slow down, bond, and create peaceful moments together.

🗓 Date: Wednesday, July 31
📍 Location: TBA (will be around the South Perth area)
⏰ Time: 10-11.30am 👶 Ideal for babies from birth to 6 months
📅 BOOKING LINK: https://thefamilyroomwa.as.me/?appointmentType=80300777

We can’t wait to support you and your baby on this gentle journey of touch, trust, and connection. 💞

July 1 is here, and I finally get to share what I’ve been quietly building towards…
It’s a big moment of celebration for me—The Family Room WA has officially moved from a sole trader to a company! 🎉🥳

At the start of the year, I never could’ve imagined the incredible support I’d receive, or the number of enquiries that would come flooding in about birth and midwifery care. 💛
It’s been such a beautiful journey so far, and I’ve felt so much love from this amazing community.

My accountant explained all the reasons why this move made sense—and let me tell you, just like midwifery has its own language, so does accounting! 😅
I can’t give you the technical details, but I can tell you it feels like a huge milestone—and I wanted to celebrate it with YOU. 🥂💫
