If I had a friend about to have a baby... This is what I would give her.

A new mother doesn’t need more things.
She needs to be held.
She needs to be asked how her heart is.
She needs warm hands on her belly.
Food that speaks the language of love.
Rituals to honour the rite she just walked through.

If I had a friend about to have a baby, I wouldn’t buy her another box of Loco Loves.

I’d gather her village — her sisters, her friends, her family —
and we’d gift her postpartum support.

I’ve done this many times,
for friends far away,
when I couldn’t be the one to massage their wombs,
cook for them,
or hold their hearts.

Because how we support the mother
shapes how she supports her babe.
And a held mother becomes a healed mother.
And a whole mother raises a whole child.

For mothers in Byron Bay, I’ve created an offering just for this.

The Holding is a $199 gift voucher for a deeply nourishing 2-hour in-home postpartum visit —
including healing bodywork, food, ritual, and emotional care.

✨ If you’re a mum-to-be, tag your people. Let them know this is what you truly need.
✨ And if you’re one of her people — this is your cue.

She doesn’t need more things.
She needs this.
