ATTENTION: Pregnant and new mamas...

Do you Want to be cocooned with support in pregnancy & postpartum?

If that's YOU, I want to help you reach your feeding goals, get more rest for the whole family (without sleep training), and actually enjoy early motherhood. 

Most mums prepare for the birth (one day),
but not for postpartum (forever).

When you don't have a plan for postpartum you:

Stay stuck in survival mode wondering why no one told you motherhood would be this lonely and hard

Waste time and money on cookie cutter products that promise the world but don't actually work

Lose confidence in your innate ability to mother and start to believe you're not cut out for this

Postpartum shouldn't be *this hard*

I know what it's like to feel lost in postpartum. When I had my first baby in 2017, I figured that breastfeeding would happen naturally, my baby would sleep when they were tired, and that maternity leave would be bliss.

Little did I know that none of those things would turn out to be true. Breastfeeding was hard AF*, my baby never slept like I was told he 'should', and that mat leave bliss felt like a lie.

But, all of that changed when I  became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) & Holistic Sleep Coach.

The combination of these two qualifications, along with my experience as paediatric nurse & midwife, allowed me to transform my journey with my next two children.

Since then I've helped hundreds of mums to reach their feeding goals, get more sleep without sleep training, and let go of the 'shoulds' of early motherhood. 

The Cocoon & Cradle Club will teach you everything I've learnt so that you can *actually* enjoy and lean into this season, rather than wish away that first year like I did.

Hi, I'm Melissa!

I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Holistic Sleep Coach, Paediatric Nurse, Midwife & Mum of 3, on a mission to help mums feel empowered in postpartum, rather than stressed, confused & overwhelmed!

When I became a mother seven years ago, I had no idea postpartum would be this hard.

Even though I was a paediatric nurse & midwife, I quickly found myself where so many of my clients find themselves too:

Struggling with breastfeeding, absolutely exhausted, and feeling like a failure. 

Fast forward and I've had my third child, not once felt sleep deprived even though she has been the most 'koala' baby out of them all, smashed all of my breastfeeding goals, and feel more joy and less stress now then I did with just one baby. 

How did I do it? I stopped getting stuck down google rabbit holes at 2am (which left me even more confused and overwhelmed), and instead invested my time and money to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and Holistic Sleep Coach.

Inside The Cocoon & Cradle Club, I'm handing over my postpartum blueprint to YOU so you can reach your feeding goals, get more rest for the whole family without resorting to sleep training, and *actually* enjoy motherhood. 

That is it, my friend. 

No more feeling like a failure. No more winging it. No more doing it alone. 

Let's take your postpartum to the next level.

Are you ready to thrive in postpartum?

Why is holistic sleep education & support critical?

You may not realise it while you are pregnant, but from the moment your little one is born you will be bombarded with sleep advice.

The problem is that most of the sleep advice you'll find is not based off any actual evidence, or research on what our babies actually need.

Understanding biologically normal infant sleep is a game changer in terms of how you view and approach sleep!

No more strict schedules, spaced feeds, drowsy but awake, or spending your days patting and shushing a screaming baby in a pitch black room. 

There is another way. A better way. And I'm here to show you how.

"Getting Mel's support and guidance was the best thing I have ever done. I can't even imagine how different and difficult my postpartum would have been without it. I definitely wouldn't have made it to a year breastfeeding or been able to get as much sleep"

​- Ashley J. & Baby Finn

Why is expert breastfeeding education & support critical?

We know that while 9 in 10 (90.6%) babies start off breastfeeding, this rate consistently decreases in the weeks and months following.



By 6 months of age, less than 2 in 5 (37.5%) are still exclusively breastfed.

Only 5% of babies reach the World Health Organisation goal of breastfeeding up to 2 years or beyond.



With the right support starting in pregnancy and continuing throughout the first year, the chances of you reaching your feeding goals dramatically increase.



This is important for so many reasons, but in particular for health.



For baby, not being breastfed increases the risk of: gastrointestinal infections, respiratory infections, ear infections, SIDS, necrotising enterocolitis in premature babies, sepsis in premature babies, leukaemia, dental malocclusions, overweight and obesity, and lower IQ.



For mum, not breastfeeding increases the risk of: breast cancer, ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.

​Apart from the health benefits, you'll quickly find that breastfeeding becomes the quick fix for absolutely everything.

​Having the right support at the right time, is what will allow you to reach your breastfeeding goals.

FAQs

  • How is The Cocoon & Cradle Club different?

    The Cocoon & Cradle Club is a coaching program and community specifically aimed at cocooning pregnant and new mums with the support they deserve.

    There is nothing else like it! You will receive expert guidance and daily support from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Holistic Sleep Coach, Paediatric Nurse, Midwife & Mum of 3.

  • How much support will I get in the club?

    Here's what you get:

    2 x live group coaching calls every single week
    - Get real time advice and guidance for YOUR family

    A private community of like minded mums
    - Not only will you get daily support from myself personally, you'll also get insights and support from our incredible mum community. 

    Epic member events 2x a year
    - These events are a highlight where we celebrate making it through 6 months and then 1 year postpartum, a party to celebrate you!

  • I can't afford this right now. When is your next intake?

    What is not having a postpartum plan costing you? I guarantee you, it's more than you think.

    By joining during pregnancy, you will save thousands of dollars by not buying the very well marketed but completely unnecessary baby items. For example, a SNOO Smart Sleeper Rocking Bassinet costs $1999.

    If you receive the right support and breastfeed, you will also save a minimum of $1872 on tins of formula per year, $120 on bottles and $120 on a steriliser. Totalling a minimum of $2112. 

    These two alone come to $4111, and this is just the beginning of the savings you will see, with most mums spending well over $10,000.

    Investing in yourself and your little one is ALWAYS worth it. Plus you'll actually save money by not buying products that promise the world but fail to deliver.

  • I'm looking for more 1:1 rather than group coaching, do you offer that?

    While I do also offer 1:1 individual consults, there are two big reasons that this is delivered as a group program instead of 1:1.

    1. Most new mums are lonely 

    If you want to enjoy motherhood fully, you need to find your people. Becoming a mum will be the hardest (but also best!) thing you will ever do, which is why I believe we are better together. Mum-to-mum support is invaluable (this is research backed too)!

    2. Your postpartum experience is better

    By coming together you not only get the expert guidance from myself, but also the support, insights and perspectives of other mums in the exact same boat as you, or even slightly further along.

Your dream motherhood starts here.
