🧶💗 **Help us celebrate a very special 94th birthday!** 💗🧶

Sarah’s grandmother, who lovingly knits our beautiful beanies, is turning **94 in November!** 🎂🌸

To celebrate this wonderful milestone, we’re putting together a special birthday collage featuring the beanies she has made and the people who wear them.

We’d love for our Mother Hub community to be part of it! 🥰

If you’ve received or purchased one of her handmade beanies, we’d love you to send us a photo of yourself (or your little one!) wearing it, or pop into The Mother Hub to choose a beanie and have your photo taken.

📸 **A little note about privacy:** None of the photos will be shared on social media. They’ll be used only for the birthday collage, so we can give her a beautiful surprise and show her just how far her handmade creations have travelled.

Let’s help make her 94th birthday extra special and fill her collage with love! 💕🌷

Please send us a photo or get in touch with The Mother Hub if you’d like to be involved.

🌿 Meet Mariella Berry – our newest team member!

We’re so excited to welcome Mariella Berry to The Mother Hub team! 💛

Get to know Mariella a little more below! 👇

Mariella (pronounced “marry-ella”) moved to Canberra specifically to work more with babies and families after spending several years working in Melbourne.

Her approach is centred around providing practical, realistic care that fits into you and your family’s life. She works collaboratively with each person and family to develop strategies that support their individual needs and goals.

Mariella treats a range of presentations in babies, including feeding difficulties, movement concerns such as side preferences, and babies who may be unsettled or uncomfortable in their bodies.

She enjoys working with people of all ages — from newborns and preschoolers through to children, adolescents and adults. Mariella believes osteopathy has something to offer everyone, whether that’s to support a specific concern, achieve a particular goal, or simply improve their overall health and wellbeing.

💛 We’re delighted to have Mariella as part of The Mother Hub community!

Sharing knowledge, supporting the next generation of midwives 💜

Last week, Sarah and Jen had the opportunity to deliver a teaching session for midwifery students at the University of Canberra, focusing on breastfeeding challenges, functional oral assessment and tongue-tie.

Together with Kylie, Midwife and Midwifery Lecturer at the University of Canberra, the session explored some of the complexities that can arise when breastfeeding isn’t working as expected — including assessment, tongue-tie and clinical management.

Jen brings her experience as an Endorsed Midwife and IBCLC, while Sarah is a GP Obstetrician with expertise in breastfeeding and lactation medicine.

We love being able to share clinical knowledge and practical experience with student midwives as they prepare to support women and families in their own careers. 🌿

A big thank you to the University of Canberra for the opportunity to be involved!

**Your postpartum experience matters. 💛**

A new Senate inquiry is giving Australian women and families an opportunity to share their experiences of the postpartum period — and we’d love to encourage our community to have their voices heard.

If you’ve had a baby, consider making a submission and sharing your experience.

You might reflect on:

🤱 What breastfeeding support did you need, and was it available when you needed it?

👩‍⚕️ Did you have access to the right expertise and qualified support?

♿️ Were there barriers to accessing care — such as cost, location, availability, culture, language or other circumstances?

💛 What helped you feel supported, informed and confident during those early weeks and months?

🏠 What made your transition into life with a new baby easier — or harder?

Your experience can help highlight what is working, what is missing, and what needs to change to ensure women and families receive the support they need during the postpartum period.

Submissions close 9 October 2026.

**If you feel able, consider making a submission and sharing your story. Every experience adds to the bigger picture.**

Find out more about the Senate inquiry and how to make a submission via the Australian Parliament website —https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Womens_Health

If you need support getting into labour- acupuncture combined with a stretch and sweep can be a great option.

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy, and struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing.

- Long or frequent feeds
- Concerns about milk supply
- A baby who won’t latch

Our IBCLC-qualified team can help assess what’s happening and support you with a personalised feeding plan.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
