Postpartum work is so satisfying. The support I provide sets families up for their best start to the big family transition of welcoming a newborn.

Want to be more informed and less worried about labour?

I get very concerned when I hear about the information covered in hospital provided birth classes. System based policies and procedures such as how they calculate dilation and demands placed on you such as when vaginal examinations are 'required' and when and how CTG 'will be used' which oddly enough are not always evidenced based and not always something that you may want in your labour. I do not believe these system focused courses prepare you to be in a position to provide informed consent during your labour.

An independent course like Hypnobirth helps you to become informed about different options of how you can choose to manage your labour as well as information about interventions that you may or may not wish to choose for yourself.

This course empowers your birth partner to be informed about what to expect and how to advocate for you while you are in LabourLand.

If you want to have a physiological birth, than Hypnobirthing will certainty put you in a position to make choices for yourself. If you are planning a c-section again, there is a c-section course as well. If you are planning something in between, this course will provide you more information to help you make your choices along your journey.

Kind words from a family I supported postpartum in 2023.

It still amazes me how different the support is for each family's wants and needs.

The country we live on has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Today celebrates the day that began the systematic taking of the land, rights, culture and lives from the First Nations peoples.

This is not a day that I choose to celebrate or reflect on the positives of our country.

A Sunbury based exercise class that is judgement free, and taught by a qualified Fitness Trainer who promotes working with your body in a safe manner.

Toni understands the changes that happen within women's bodies across the lifespan and tailors her classes to account for preexisting injuries, pregnancy, postpartum and strength.

Your time at Beautiful and Balanced Bodies will be restorative and strengthening, helping you move FORWARDS with your body so that you develop functional strength to help support you through your day.

Have you ever stopped to notice how active you are?
-Getting the pram in and out of the car
-Balancing baby and 3 grocery bags
-Feeding positions that can cause stiffness in our necks and shoulders
-Carrying your older children as well as baby
-Pushing the pram
-Carrying heavy laundry and hanging out the clothes
-Getting up/down on/off the floor a thousand times a day
-Unpacking and packing the dishwasher

All of this day to day exercise, as well as sedentary tasks like feeding, are hard on our bodies which have just grown and birthed an entire human.

Beautiful and Balanced Bodies is your safe space for you to feel strong in your body.

Reach out to Toni today to chat about your exercise needs.

Did you know the word "Doula" is from ancient Greek origins and means "woman servant or caregiver". There are connotations to slavery within the word and some people working in this space are moving away from the term, but that's a story for another day...
.. now that I am back on track, my point, a Doula is there for you. I am here to give you the support that you need, as close to when you need it as I can.

I use my experience, intuition and knowledge of you and your family to anticipate your needs as much as I can, however I love getting a text during the week "When you come on Wednesday can you please remind me that I want to wash and straighten my hair" or "can you please add to your list tomorrow to make me a pasta, I really feel like it" or "I really need sleep. Is this something we can prioritise?".

We are conditioned that being polite means not putting people out of their way, but guess what! You are allowed to state what you want in life!

During your pregnancy I challenge you to practice stating what you want, need or prefer. The sky will not fall in, the pigs won't spout wings, you'll just be more content in your day!

Women are allowed to take up space, we are allowed to have preferences, we are allowed to ask, state and request.

Every visit is catered to your needs. I am here to support you. Without judgement, expectation or assumption.
