Client Testimonials
Kind words from the families I’ve been lucky enough to support
Sacred postpartum stories
Every family I work with brings their own story, their unique personalities, and their own version of early parenthood. The words shared below come from the mothers (and partners) I’ve had the honour of walking alongside through the wild and sacred fourth trimester. Together we've navigated the identity shifts, crazy hormones, sleep deprivation, relationship changes, big emotions, healing bodies, first smiles and evolving bonds.
These testimonials are more than just kind feedback - they are reflections of what’s possible when mothers are deeply seen, supported and held in their postpartum. I’m grateful beyond words to every family who has taken the time to share their experience.
If you're wondering what it might feel like to be supported in this way, I hope their words offer you insight, comfort, and a sense of what’s waiting for you here.
“Mazz was such an amazing doula! She created a supportive environment where we could ask for advice or talk about our experience and she would reassure us wherever needed. We felt at ease with Mazz and she was amazing with our son. She approached every session with so much warmth and care from her nourishing meals and wonderful massages. Being a part of her baby massage course was also a great addition to her offering. Thank you for all of your support Mazz!.”
— Dimi (mum to baby Andreas)
“Mazz wasn’t only a postpartum doula to our family, she was an integral support to us all during a really rocky and unexpected postpartum period. Her love, support and care for us all is something I’ll always remember and cherish. Hopefully one day soon my toddler will stop asking me if Mazz can come over today!
— Alice (Mum to Frankie & baby Wilhelmina)
“Being a second time Mum my ultimate goal this time, was to have a calm and healing postpartum experience. Mazz provided feeding advice, helped me understand what normal infant sleep looks like and provided practical and emotional support. I’ve had the most positive newborn experience, and I’m so grateful to Mazz.
Every new Mum needs a Mazz in their life. I would recommend anyone looking into a postpartum doula to look no further!”
— Suzie (Mum to Charlotte & baby Jai)
“As a first-time Mum, Mazz has helped me navigate the transition into motherhood with grace. From the conversations she’s helped to foster, to the guidance she’s given in helping me care for and connect with my baby, she’s been invaluable.
I’d recommend Mazz over and over again. “
— Casey (Mum to baby Gray)
Having Mazz as our postpartum doula made such a difference to our second postpartum experience. To have a safe space to share the ups and downs of each week in early postpartum was such a comfort. The amazing food that she cooked and brought was a real treat and took so much stress off our family while still ensuring we were heartily fed.
She really helped us adjust to being a family of four and was a huge support as I worked out how to juggle two kids and best manage an emotional toddler. Mazz is like a super knowledgeable sister or friend - I loved our chats, sharing recipes, discussing nutrition and the latest research on babies, maternal wellbeing and parenting. She also provided so many recommendations on the latest evidence-based books and professionals to follow.
Our second postpartum was so calm and joyful despite our families being largely absent, which was in no small way due to Mazz and the village she helped us to create (including encouraging us to do a Meal Train). I wish every mum with a newborn could feel the level of care and support that we did with Mazz.
— Harriet (Mum to Arius & baby Xander)
Having Mazz as your postpartum doula is like having your sister or best friend (for the emotional support) and Mary Poppins (for the practical house support/ nutritious food) all at once! From our very first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of this season of life.
What truly set her apart was her compassionate and caring nature. She listened to my concerns without judgment, validated my feelings, and always made me feel heard and understood. Whether it was practical help with newborn care, emotional support during the rollercoaster of postpartum hormones, or simply a listening ear, Mazz was there for me every step of the way.
Thanks to her guidance and support, I felt nurtured and cared for, which allowed me to truly embrace the postpartum experience and focus on bonding with my baby.
Mazz proved me that postpartum can be beautiful which I never thought was possible!
We highly recommend Mazz to any family, whether it's their first, second, or fifth baby. Her expertise, compassion, and personalised approach not to mention her amazing postpartum network make her an incredible doula. It will be your best postpartum investment!
— Julie (Mum to baby Gabriel & Rafael)
“My husband and I are so incredibly grateful for the support Mazz provided to us! It started a few months before bub arrived - and I really think that helped with ensuring I was in a love-bubble in the early weeks. Then her weekly visits after bub arrived were invaluable, as well as all the follow-up text messages to all my various questions.
I really believe that I'm in such a great place postpartum because of all the support, advice, and resources she provided. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a supportive and grounded doula who is an expert in all things mumma and baby!”
— Sarah (Mum to baby Roman)
“Mazz, I truly can’t thank you enough for the support you provided me and my family during the postpartum period. I was hesitant about hiring a postpartum doula given this was baby number three, but I can’t imagine my recovery without you. You provided a safe space for conversation, an open and warm environment, and invaluable support in whatever area baby and I needed.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all you did to care for us. I will always remember our time together. “
— Emily (Mum to baby Gary, Grace & Ada)
I wish every new Mum could have a Mazz. With her empathy, experience and carefully considered package our sessions were always a highlight of the week. I felt supported and understood from the moment we met and the practical help provided by Mazz was invaluable. I’ll forever be grateful for sharing my postpartum experience with Mazz.
— Ash (Mum to baby Chloe)
With a toddler already in the mix and a newborn arriving, my short two weeks of leave felt incredibly brief! Having Mazz as our doula was truly indispensable. It was also fantastic that her approach to nutrition really resonated with us, especially our shared interest in gut health. Knowing she was there to expertly support my partner, with that understanding, gave me so much peace of mind heading back to work.
Mazz's experience and care made navigating those early days so much smoother for our whole family. I seriously recommend her to any parents, especially when you're juggling multiple kids!
— Victor (Dad to baby Gabriel & Rafael)
“I am so grateful I had Mazz as my postpartum doula. Leading up to the birth of my first child I knew I wanted to put in regular and trusted support given I had limited family members based in Sydney.
Mazz’s visits as well as having her to reach out to in the lead up and weeks following my daughter’s birth really helped me ease into motherhood and feel like I still mattered too. Everyone around me was focused on the baby but Mazz was more focused on me and while that might sound selfish, it was the best thing for my little girl.
I always felt rejuvenated after our sessions which were filled with delicious chai lattes, healthy snacks, foot soaks and massages, judgment free chats, help with the baby and around the house and little tips I would have never found elsewhere but were game-changers like side lying breastfeeding, contrast cards around the change table and taking the numbness out of the area surrounding my caesarean scar early on.
I think all women need a Mazz after they have a baby!”
— Courtney (Mum to baby Audrey)
“Postpartum care was something I really wanted to prioritise for my little family. I was anxious about entering this next phase of life and wanted to have a little bit more help.
Mazz was an amazing part of our newborn bubble. Her steady and calm presence left our family feeling confident and assured. Mazz answered all our questions and was so helpful throughout our days together.
Very intuitive, Mazz always seemed to have a sense of what I needed that day, whether that was a friendly ear, a sit down with some food, a massage or a quick nap - it really helped provide a moment of peace and calm. I always knew I could breathe and rest a little easier if I had a visit that day. “
— Isabel (Mum to baby Stella)
“Baby carrier… a good bouncer… dummies… and a doula! These are now my ‘must-have’ recommendations to any mum-to-be for postpartum, whether first, second or third time around. Mazz has been my safety net this second postpartum and the difference between this and my first is chalk and cheese. She’s been invaluable at setting me up for success, lending a listening ear and advice on transitioning from one to two kids, encouraging me to rest (when it’s really not my nature but so needed after birth), providing beautiful nourishing food and most importantly support and friendship. I’ve found the joy in my postpartum this time and can’t thank Mazz enough.
— Abbey (Mum to baby Nora & Hugo)
“Mazz is someone who has the ability to feel like a close friend after the first meeting, which is so important at what can be a vulnerable and overwhelming time. I felt so supported by her during the weeks she came to our house. She is warm, relaxed, SO knowledgeable and shares her experience in such a calm and supportive way. I never felt bad messaging Mazz with a question and found every response reassuring and so helpful.
I think my favourite thing about Mazz’s service is the way she can adapt to what you need at a specific time - whether that be looking after your little one so you can grab a coffee with your partner, offering a listening ear while you vent or allowing you to unwind with a relaxing massage and foot bath.
If you’re unsure how you will be postpartum, knowing Mazz will be there will offer you great comfort.”
— Laura (Mum to baby Cloe)
“The doula service provided by Mazz has been incredible! It is something I didn't realise I needed until we started. The first 6-weeks is quite a blur and you can easily feel overwhelmed so having Mazz visit weekly was a huge help.
She provided me with so much support, information and guidance, along with a weekly meal & snack, meaning we didn't have to worry about dinner. The meals were delicious and we loved learning the baby massage. I always felt empowered after our sessions and looked forward to each week knowing I could ask questions or do something as simple as wash my hair whilst Mazz minded our baby.
I would highly recommend Mazz to any new mums.”
— Courtney (Mum to baby Savannah)
“Mazz is the most incredible postpartum doula. She is kind, nurturing and gentle and so easy to talk to it makes you feel like you’ve known her your whole life.
She brought amazing food, made me delicious chais and often put me to sleep with her relaxing foot soaks and massages. She was the second pair of hands I needed to hold my baby while I had a shower or to help do things around the house I hadn’t gotten to yet. The hours always flew by and I found myself keenly looking forward to her next visit.
She has wonderful contacts and suggestions for anything mum and baby related. As this was my second baby, I was keen to put all the support in place that I didn’t have with my first. Mazz provides such a wonderful holistic service and I have spent my postpartum period feeling greatly supported and extremely relaxed. If I am luckily enough to have baby number 3, Mazz will be one of the first things I lock in!”
— Cate (Mum to baby Sibella & Sophie)
“Knowing I had someone to focus solely on my wellbeing changed the way I approached motherhood. I felt more confident, prepared and excited for my motherhood journey.
I looked forward to Mazz’s weekly visits as I knew I would feel validated and supported, and had someone to check in with. I embraced the changes I was going through, physical and emotional, and accepted the good and bad days with much more grace and resilience.
Having Mazz supporting me in postpartum gave me the space to enjoy the experience of motherhood in a way I couldn’t have done without her”
— Emma (Mum to baby Fred & Max)
“Mazz was such a wonderful support - her encouragement and care was invaluable while we navigated becoming parents for the first time.
Knowing my wife had Mazz in her corner, with her knowledge, experience and care was very comforting. I couldn't recommend Mazz more highly.”
— Lewie (Dad to baby Ziggy)
“My sessions with Mazz were nourishing, informative and supportive. She fed me and helped prepare food which allowed me to eat nourishing lunches for the rest of the week. She helped around the house which was very helpful and took some of the load off my plate. She was an extra set of hands to look after my daughter which allowed me to have a rest when I otherwise couldn’t. The foot soaks were lovely and relaxing.
I can’t recommend her service enough.”
— Sarah (Mum to baby Arabella)
“Mazz is an incredible postpartum support doula. She helped lighten my load as a first-time mum, and was a godsend in those first few bleary-eyed weeks! Whether it was helping to wash and fold washing, warming up a meal for me, or holding the baby while I took a (very needed) nap or shower, she was someone I could rely on for a few hours of reprieve each week. I also loved the foot soaks, an unexpected treat amongst her arsenal, as well as her delicious chai teas.
Above all, Mazz brings a warm, calm energy, was a wonderful listener, and an excellent hub of info and resources for all of my questions! She really made me feel taken care of and supported.”
— Miriam (Mum to baby Raphael)
“The continuous support, care and genuine investment in our journey provided by Mazz was truly invaluable. This, along with the wonderful network of professionals that she connected us to, I was supported in all apects of my postpartum period. With so much information and so many differing opinions out there, having a trusted network we could lean on made everything feel achievable as we worked through the learning curve of the 6 weeks as new parents.
Mazz helped me to find my feet and come into my own as a new parent. My weekly visits from Mazz were such a highlight of my first 6 weeks. The quality of meals and snacks on offer were delicious (the fish curry is absolutely amazing) and the relaxing foot soak and ‘Mazzages’ each week were such a treat. I would not hesitate to recommend Mazz to any parents, whether it’s their first or third bub.
With Mazz in our support network, I felt calm, encouraged, and heard. I genuinely looked forward to each visit and am so grateful for the connection and friendship created over our time together.
You will not regret engaging Mazz to assist in creating a soft landing for your postpartum period – with such a beautiful energy, she is a rare gem.”
— Zoë (Mum to baby Ziggy)
“The support and services Mazz provided in the lead up to and in early postpartum were invaluable, ensuring we landed softly into our role as new parents feeling nourished, empowered and supported.
As well as the practical components of her care (delicious meals, foot soaks, massage + more) she also supported us emotionally as we navigated the rollercoaster of the early weeks.
Mazz helped me feel validated and empowered in my new role as mother and I can't imagine how these early weeks would have been without her!”
— Anya (Mum to baby Winona)
“Mazz was a fantastic support and invaluable to us in the first few weeks. She helped us with things the midwives in the hospital don’ t, but you need to know! Our first bath, how to use our wrap carrier, even how to cut our daughter’s nails!
She was always a calming presence at home and someone I naturally gravitated towards and leaned on - I very quickly felt completely comfortable in her presence. Thank you, Mazz.”
— Annabelle (Mum to baby Jemima)
Mazz is an amazing cook - which is high praise coming from a foodie! Mazz is a beautiful person who seamlessly blended into our home, bringing everything that was needed for the time she was with us. We felt totally confident with Mazz and would recommend her to anyone wanting support adapting to life with a new baby.
— Louis (Dad to baby Sienna)
“Mazz was an absolute joy to have around the house in the weeks after the birth of our first child. She provided a grounding presence and helped us navigate the early challenges of parenthood.”
— Dan (Dad to baby Winona)
“I found Mazz to be a godsend in the early weeks of the fourth trimester. No longer having my mum around meant I really needed a resource that could provide calm advice based on experience.
Mazz was a reassuring presence in the lead up to the birth and a huge help in the weeks after. Being able to chat through what was happening in the week helped with the mental and emotional load that comes with being a new mum.
The meals and snacks provided were consistently delicious. Having a weekly foot soak with a cup of tea and a chat was just what the doctor ordered. I could not recommend Mazz more highly.”
— Gabrielle (Mum to baby Rafael)
“Every new family needs Mazz. She provides everything you can think of and all the things you may not think of but need. Mazz is kind, compassionate, understanding and very knowledgeable. She provides essential support to a family and their new baby. I always looked forward to Mazz’s visit because I felt relieved and held and nurtured. “
— Tessa (Mum to baby Harry)
“Every visit from Mazz left me feeling calm, encouraged and more confident as a first time Mum - from the smell of cookies and other delicious treats coming from my kitchen, to neatly folded washing, non judgmental listening and valuable local Mum knowledge and hacks, working with Mazz was like having the support of a sister or friend who just knows what to do without you having to ask.
I now understand the best gift for a new mum is a voucher for a postpartum doula, and would recommend Mazz in a heartbeat.”
— Brianna (Mum to baby Sienna)
Mazz really made Edwina feel supported and cared for which was important as everyone’s focus was on the new addition to the family.
Her knowledge, insights and open communication put all our concerns at ease and guided us through the postpartum period. Having Mazz visit each week was a great focal point for us, something we were really excited about. We enjoyed having her in the family at such a special time. I would highly recommend Mazz as a postpartum doula. She is professional, caring and her cooking is incredible…the dahl was so tasty!!!
— Andy (Dad to baby Max)
Mazz was such a crucial part of our postpartum experience - giving us a time each week to focus on recovery, reground ourselves and benefit from her nutritious and delicious meals!
The most valuable part was her words of wisdom, gentle encouragement and her ability to listen empathetically without judgement. Thank you Mazz!
— Chloe (Mum to baby Effie)
As our postpartum doula, Mazz fully prepared us for the fourth trimester. She made sure I was emotionally and physically ready and well cared for so I could tackle motherhood confidently and calmly.
She helped us build a plan for the postpartum recovery and gave us all the tools, resources, support and advice so I could focus on being the best mum I could to our son Max. Mazz’s services and support have been invaluable. She takes great care in planning and following up on our weekly sessions. She was very consistent and always available to answer any questions and she was a great source of advice.
Mazz cooked delicious, nutritious and nourishing meals and snacks, gave me calming foot baths and most importantly lent a great ear. She made me feel calm, informed and comfortable so I was able to enjoy the newborn bubble. I couldn’t recommend Mazz and her services more highly. She’s a true professional and very passionate and knowledgeable. For any family looking for support from a postpartum doula you cannot look past Mazz . Thanks Mazz for everything. Our family is forever grateful.
— Edwina (Mum to baby Max)
“We were fortunate to have Mazz support us for the first 6 weeks after we welcomed baby girl into our lives. Knowing we had her visits every week between birth and the 6 week milestone was really special and made the world of difference. It helped ease me into motherhood and was so reassuring for my husband as he returned to work.
We can't recommend or thank her enough! ”
— Caroline (Mum to baby Sloane)
