Empowering and Supporting Kiwi Families
We offer gentle and holistic antenatal advice and support for parents, babies and toddlers. We’re passionate about empowering you with the confidence you need to take the next steps in your parenting journey.
We understand every circumstance is different, and there is no ‘one sized fits all’ approach when it comes to parenting your baby. We’re non-judgemental, supportive, caring and empathetic. Our mission is to help you feel comfortable, confident and cared for.
Offering one-on-one care, or in a group (such as visiting your antenatal group or coffee group) our team is able to support you in a number of key areas.
We’re based in Auckland, New Zealand – but happy to travel (travel rates POA), otherwise we can easily provide advice via Skype, phone and email.

Gentle Sleep Solutions
Teaching a baby how to find their sleep isn’t always a walk in the park! Regressions, cat naps, growth spurts and more can all impact the way your baby sleeps.
Our goal is to educate the entire family by creating a comprehensive, gentle sleep plan, which will never include extinction sleep training like cry-it-out or controlled crying.
Instead, we focus on gentle yet effective strategies to improve the wellbeing of your whole family.
Our consultants offer phone, group or in-home consultations to help with baby’s settling habits. We find spending a few hours with you in your environment is far and away the most effective means to implement positive change and help your baby find their sleep.
We cover topics such as:
- The sleep environment
- Swaddling
- Sleeping in the first two weeks
- Feeding & sleeping guides for newborns
- Growth spurts
- Sleep regressions
- Coping with a crying baby

Baby Go Round
We know there is already far too much waste in our world. Babies grow so quickly, often their things are still in fantastic condition but are simply too small or no longer needed.
Baby Go Round shares the love by helping people pay it forward, donating unwanted baby gear to families in need.
We work with families all over Auckland, using BabyGoRound to help parents share clothes and equipment they no longer need.
We collect the following items, and donate them for you:
- Newborn car seats
- Bassinets and cots
- Baby sheets
- Woolen blankets
- Newborn nappies
- Baby clothing
- Front-packs and wraps
