SLEEP.
PARENTING.
MOTHERHOOD.
Too often, the system focuses on one part — and misses you entirely.
That won’t happen here.
The mother in the middle of it all.
The one holding the baby, the sleep worries, the invisible load.
You’re not just part of the story.
You are the story. And you deserve care that reflects that.
YOU MIGHT BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF…
You've been Googling at 3am and you're more confused than when you started.
You've tried the "just put them down drowsy but awake" advice and wanted to scream.
You know something deeper is going on but you can't quite put your finger on it.
You're not just dealing with sleep - it's the feeding, the behaviour, the mental load, the identity shift, all of it tangled together.
You want someone who will actually listen to your whole situation before saying a single thing.
You're done with advice that makes you feel like you're failing. You want support that makes you feel like yourself again.
THIS ISN’T LIKE OTHER CONSULTS.
I'm not going to hand you a schedule and wish you luck.
I'm a Social Worker and Infant & Family Sleep Educator. That means I look at the whole picture - your child's temperament, your mental health, your relationship, your values, your capacity right now. Not just the sleep.
I don't use sleep training. No controlled crying, no timed checks, no cry-it-out dressed up in softer language. I also won't tell you to just "ride it out" and hope for the best.
What I will do is help you understand what's actually going on, why it makes sense, and what you can realistically do about it - without sacrificing your child's emotional safety or your own sanity.
Most of my clients come to me after they've already tried the generic advice. They know their situation is more complex than a wake window chart can fix. They're right.
LET’S GET YOU SUPPORTED.
SINGLE SESSION
You bring the question. I bring my brain.
Sometimes you don't need a full workup. You just need one focused hour with someone who actually knows this stuff.
Whether it's a sleep thing that's gone sideways, a behaviour you can't crack, starting childcare, or just needing someone to tell you you're not getting it all wrong - this is that session.
No prep required. Just show up.
$200 AUD
THE FULL PICTURE
For when it's not just one thing.
This is for the mum who's tried the things. Who knows her situation is layered. Who wants someone to actually understand the whole picture before they say anything.
Before we even meet, I'm already working.

“YOUR WORK HAS REALLY HELPED ME CHALLENGE THAT NEGATIVE MINDSET AND I AM REALLY TRULY GRATEFUL. IT’S SO VALUABLE HAVING AN ALTERNATIVE SLEEP NARRATIVE OUT THERE, THAT ISN’T AT EITHER END OF THE SLEEP WORLD. IT’S REALLY CHANGED MY PARENTING.”

Hi, I’m Fiona.
Mum of 3, Social Worker, Infant & Family Sleep Educator, ex-Googler of "is my baby broken," and someone who is officially over the pressure modern mums are drowning in. I don’t believe in perfect parenting (because, it’s a trap & doesn’t exist), but I do believe in feeling good about how you’re raising your kiddos.
I created Mama Matters because I was sick of seeing mothers forced to choose between training their babies or martyring themselves.
You don't have to do either.
I combine clinical experience, attachment psychology, and a healthy dose of lived experience to help you find the middle ground - where everyone gets more sleep, you find your confidence, and no one cries alone.
Not even you.
“I KNOW YOU SAY YOU DON’T OFFER ANY QUICK FIXES BUT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF OUR CONSULT I WAS IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PACE MENTALLY - AND RESTED - AND NICER TO BE AROUND! 24 HOURS LATER I WAS DELIGHTING IN CONTACT NAPS AND HAVING THE BEST NIGHTS OF SLEEP I’D HAD FOR 7 MONTHS! I COULDN’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH BETTER I FELT.”
