Welcome to earthside.
Welcome to your village.
You were never meant to do this alone.
Hi, I’m Nicola — mother of four, postpartum guide, and the founder of Earthside Postpartum.
My motherhood journey began in 2012, and over the years — through each birth, each newborn season, each moment of joy and exhaustion — I came to understand just how much support mothers truly need after baby arrives. Not just checklists and how-tos, but real, grounded connection. A village.
For over five years, I’ve worked in postpartum care with a special focus on breastfeeding support. I’m currently studying to become a certified breastfeeding consultant and deepening my knowledge of neuroprotective developmental care through the Possums Programme — a powerful, evidence-based approach that supports both babies and mothers with compassion and clarity.
In recent years, my family felt the pull to slow down and seek a more intentional way of living. That led me to the Northern Rivers, NSW — drawn by the sunshine, the land, and the promise of a simpler rhythm.
Earthside Postpartum is rooted in the belief that mothers deserve more than basic advice — they deserve a community. Our values run deep: holistic care, heartfelt connection, and the honoring of each mother’s unique journey. Through postpartum groups, guest expert gatherings, and warm, evidence-informed guidance, I’m here to walk alongside you in this powerful season of life.
Our Values
At Earthside Postpartum, our mission is to reconnect mothers with what they’ve always needed — a village.
I’m here to gently hold space for the tender, transformational journey that is early motherhood. Through circles, expert support, and heart-led guidance, I offer a place where mothers feel seen, heard, and reminded that they are not alone.
I don’t believe postpartum is something to “bounce back” from — it’s a sacred season of becoming.
-
I create spaces where mothers can be real — not perfect. Where mess, tears, laughter, and truth all belong.
-
I honour the whole of motherhood — body, mind, emotions, and spirit — with care that is grounded in evidence and guided by intuition.
-
I choose to slow down. To notice. To offer support in a way that doesn’t overwhelm, but nourishes and grounds.
-
I support the mother and the baby as a unit, not just individuals — honouring the unique dance between them in every moment.
-
I walk this path, too. Everything I offer comes from my own lived experience, deep study, and a heartfelt commitment to serve with authenticity and love.
Why we do this
Because too many mothers feel alone in the most sacred season of their life.
Because the early days are raw, messy, beautiful — and not meant to be navigated solo.
Because we both raised our children side by side in a village, and we know how powerful that kind of support is.
Because the postpartum time deserves reverence, not pressure.
Because we believe when a mother is held, the whole family thrives.
