A Note from Jen & Anna Maria
Motherhood and pregnancy can feel magical one moment and overwhelming the next. We believe you deserve wise, loving support through it all, celebration of your whole wonderful self, a space to be without judgement, without pressure, and without having to do it alone.
Thursdays is our invitation to you. Drop in for a cup of tea, honest conversation, a quick check-in, or to simply rest in the company of other mothers and mothers-to-be. Whether you come for care, answers, or just a friendly hello, there’s always a place for you here.
Why Thursdays?
Quick, accessible care. No referral needed. Medicare rebates.
Weekly “wise women” talks on real motherhood.
Warm, non-judgemental, come as you are.
