Earlier this year, I went looking for my people.
The mothers who are intentional, who genuinely love mothering — but who aren't only that. The ones coming out of the intense early years, the first-baby blur, not quite sure who they are anymore. Aware they're not who they used to be, but not yet on first-name terms with who they're becoming.
I wanted somewhere mothers could come and be people again — to talk about themselves, not just the kids. Real connection that sticks around, not the come-and-go kind. Space to reflect and actually grow.
And fun. It could go deep without staying heavy — the kind of place you cry one week and laugh until you can't breathe the next. Sometimes, all in the one sesison.
I couldn't find it. So I made it.
That's how The Mothering began.
MAYBE YOU RECOGNISE YOURSELF IN THAT.
You love your kids and you love your life — and mostly, it's all working. You don't need rescuing.
But somewhere in the years of pouring into everyone else, the part of you that's simply you got quiet. And lately you've wanted more: real conversation that goes deeper than whose kid slept through, friendships with women who actually get it, space to wonder who you're becoming now you're through the thick of the early years.
It's the woman who's intentional about her life and wants her own growth to be part of it — the one who knows there's more to her than the mothering, and is ready to give that part some room.
That's who this is for.
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.”
