🌟 INTRODUCTION 🌟

Happy 2026 🎉 If we haven’t met yet, I’m Mel – welcome!

👋🏼 I’m a mum of 2 amazing boys 💙 and have been a Kangatraining instructor for 9 years 🤯

I’ve completed further training so I can offer our full range of programs – from Kangatraining Kids to KangaBurn.

Alongside Kangatraining, I also provide infant first sessions, babywearing consultations, and doula services. I absolutely love meeting new families and helping our community of mums build their support systems – it’s such a rewarding part of what I do.

Some fun facts about me:
💜 My coffee order? Long black ☕️
🩷 I love going on cruises 🚢
💜 I’m a quarter Japanese
🩷 True crime and thriller books are my fave
💜 My favourite colours are pink and purple

I can’t wait to connect with you all this year – tell me one fun fact about yourself in the comments! 💬

✨ Calling local businesses! ✨

We’re looking for a few beautiful businesses to help us spoil a lucky mum 💐

We have 3 sponsorship packages available, where your business can contribute towards support that goes directly to one mum in our group who could really use some extra love 🤍

In return, you’ll be supporting local mums, giving back to the community, and sharing your business with a lovely, engaged group of mums. A total win-win ✨

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, comment below or send me a DM and I’ll share the details.

Moving our bodies, holding our babies, and showing up together 💜

Kangatraining is about more than fitness - it’s about connection, support, and building community with other mums.

Wow 🤩

9 years ago I jumped on a plane with Flynn in tow and headed to Melbourne for a week to undertake the Kangatraining Instructor Course!

It was such an amazing experience learning from some of the best - from pelvic floor health to safe babywearing, my brain was bursting with so much new information.

I’ve had many hurdles along the way, but also so many highlights. I’ve learned that running a business isn’t always a walk in the park, but with the right support, anything is possible.

I now have the flexibility to attend school events, have made many lifelong friends, and built a community where new mums feel welcome and supported.

And now… here I am as Country Leader of Kangatraining Australia, welcoming new instructors into this amazing program 🤍

What an incredible year 🤩

I had the privilege of meeting lots of new families, whether it be through Kanga, infant first aid or babywearing.

We had new faces join our classes, and said goodbye to some as they returned to work.

We introduced Keeping Mum mother’s group to our timetable and I became country leader of Kangatraining Australia.

It’s been a roller coaster of a year, but I’ve had some great support around me and I’m looking forward to 2026.
