ABOUT
I have been working in health and well being for almost 3 decades, 14 years as a Registered Nurse in NSW hospitals provided a strong foundation in people’s care followed with various courses in Personal Development, Doula training, Healing modalities and Massage Therapy.
Leaving the nursing profession to raise my 3 daughters I gained a passion for supporting mothers before, during and after birth.
After 2 caesarean sections, PND (post-natal depression) and a VBACx2 (vaginal birth after 2 caesareans)
Having worked within the hospital system I am comfortable in it and have an understanding of how it works, in addition to this having been away from this system I am also comfortable in using alternate methods in combination.
As a stay at home mum I understand the demand of parenting and also the importance of being organised and having healthy meals prepared .
I bring with me an abundance of knowledge, experience and caring to share ,

FOODS TO HEAL AND NOURISH
I see food as medicine in that it has the ability to nourish
, nurture and heal when eaten in balance.
This is so important during pregnancy, birth the post partum period

of food as well as skills and a love of preparing meals,snacks
and drinks to nourish the body and soul.

"When I first met Justine, I knew she was very caring and special.
Her warm,friendly and caring nature was a gift for both my Baby Harry as well as for myself.
Justine not only adore and cares for Harry with such love, she advises and guides me as a new mum. Her approach is relaxed but measured. I couldn't recommend and trust her enough!"
Melissa Willoughby Darling Point
"Justine is such a warm and nurturing soul who has helped me with baby number 2 from 3 weeks old. It has been such a comfort to know my newborn is in her care allowing me time to focus on my toddler who was struggling with the new baby. She is a gentle and calming influence and I would have been lost without her."

"Justine supported us for 7 months after the birth of our first child and her presence was a blessing in our lives. Our son absolutely adored her and she assisted me greatly with settling/ sleeping,cooking and general help. She is loving,enthusiastic,reliable,proactive and alot of fun to be around. We miss her!"

Mukti Mia Jarvis
"Justine has been part of our lives since my daughter was 6 weeks old. In one of those perfect twists in life she turned up exactly when we needed her, when in the thick of colicky-newborn-hell. She took charge and sent us off to bed, with a one year old now in the mix, Justine has not just been a trusted, loving care giver for my children, she has become my carer too- dispensing calm reassurance, advice, empathy and some pretty great meals! We love you Juzzy!"
