Supporting mums & bubs across Australia to thrive with wholehearted & compassionate psychological therapy
“Matrescence, the time of mother-becoming” - Dana Raphael
Matrescence is the developmental phase of motherhood encompassing the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and even political and cultural transitions experienced by women after giving birth.
Nurturing connections, one family at a time
We understand the beautiful yet challenging journey of motherhood. The perinatal psychological therapy we offer is tailored to support you, your little one and your unique circumstances, your matrescence.
At Mother Nature Psychology, we offer therapy that is personalised to suit your goals. Whether it's enhancing your baby bonding, lifting your mood, healing from trauma or loss or simply fostering more joy during this transformative stage, we will support you towards your goals and facilitate your personal growth.
You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. Our culture does not support mums well and unfortunately many women struggle during this vulnerable life transition. It is a strength to ask for support and you deserve it. In therapy, we explore together your path to emotional well-being, identifying what helps you thrive as a mother, while nurturing your connection with your baby.
Discover a supportive space where healing begins and happiness blooms. Start your journey with us today!

About Me
Hi, I’m Rebecca, I work as a Perinatal Psychologist supporting mums to find more joy and feel less stressed and overwhelmed during their early parenting years.
I provide therapy to treat mood disorders, heal from loss or trauma and support you to parent in line with your values.
Having worked in child, family and adolescent community mental health I have seen how powerful a good start for your family can be. I went into parenthood knowledgeable and stressed and have experienced how heavy it can feel staying at home caring for a baby and, or a toddler and the huge juggle when working and having to meet so many demands.
Now I have studied the research on what helps mums and their bubs thrive and want to share it.
