You’ve planned for birth. You’ve researched hospital vs. home birth, written your birth preferences, maybe even packed your hospital bag early.
But what happens after birth?
Postpartum is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding transitions in a woman’s life. You are recovering from birth, adjusting to sleepless nights, navigating feeding, healing, and figuring out how to exist in this completely new version of yourself.
And yet, finding support in postpartum can be so overwhelming you decide to just push through yourself.
You might be searching for a women’s health physio to help with core recovery, a lactation consultant to guide you through those early feeds, or a postpartum doula to simply hold space for you—but how do you actually find the right people?
That’s why I created Village for Postpartum—Australia’s most comprehensive postpartum directory, connecting mothers with trusted, experienced professionals who specialise in all areas postpartum recovery and care.
If you’re looking for postpartum doulas, lactation consultants, physios, chiropractors, meal support, mental health practitioners, or holistic therapies, Village for Postpartum makes it easy for you to gather your village and find exactly who and what you need.
Village for Postpartum is a dedicated Australian directory designed to connect new mothers with specialised postpartum practitioners in their area.
Instead of spending hours searching through Google results or relying on vague recommendations, this is one place where you can find the support you need—quickly and easily.
With over 100 listed professionals across Australia, you can find support in:
For generations, postpartum was a time when mothers were held by their community. They had people cooking for them, supporting them, and reminding them to rest, recover, and simply be with their baby.
But today, mother’s experience postpartum alone.
Mothers are sent home from hospital within 24–48 hours, expected to heal while running a household, and are told they need to “bounce back” as soon as possible. Many don’t even realise how much support is available to them—or they struggle to find the right people.
This is where Village for Mama wants to change everything.
This isn’t just about connecting you with services—it’s about reshaping how we view postpartum care. It’s about making sure that mothers are as supported as their babies. It’s about normalising the gathering of a village. A personal village, a professional village and a community village.
Finding trusted postpartum support is simple:
Search for specific practitioners such as postpartum doulas, physios, lactation consultants, mental health support, meal services, and more. Alternatively you can search your location and explore all the different types of postpartum support available to you.
Each listing includes details about their expertise, services, and how they support mothers in postpartum. You can connect with them directly.
Whether you need hands-on help, virtual support, or in-home services, your village is right here.
The Village for Postpartum Directory was created to make it easier for mothers to find trusted, high-quality postpartum support. While I don’t believe in gatekeeping postpartum care, it’s impossible for me to personally vouch for every practitioner listed—so I’ve created the Endorsed by Village for Mama distinction to highlight professionals I have personally worked with, been supported by, or built a direct relationship with over time.
That’s not to say that other practitioners on the directory aren’t incredible at what they do—I just haven’t had firsthand experience with all of them yet. To help mothers make informed choices, every directory listing includes space for practitioners to share their certifications and qualifications, as well as client testimonials, so you can see their background and hear from others who have worked with them.
I’m currently exploring ways to expand the Endorsed by Village for Mama process so more practitioners can apply for this distinction in the future. My goal is to create a rigorous yet accessible system to ensure even more mothers can confidently find and connect with the right postpartum support. Stay tuned as I continue to develop this.
If you offer any form of postpartum support and love then Village for Postpartum is the perfect place to connect with mothers who need your care.
