The Story Behind Mothers Clinic
Our mission is to empower mothers with expert care and holistic support, prioritising their well-being through every stage of motherhood.
In modern Western cultures, postpartum care often ends just days after birth, leaving many mothers feeling pressured to “bounce back” without adequate support. At Mothers Clinic, we’re here to change that.
Founded by Shannon—a mother who experienced these challenges firsthand—we are on a mission to provide expert-led, compassionate care for mothers across Australia. With up to 1 in 5 new mothers experiencing perinatal depression or anxiety (Source: panda.org.au), our goal is to empower women to prioritise their well-being and navigate motherhood with confidence.
As Australia’s leading online postpartum care provider, we offer holistic services like perinatal counselling, sleep consulting, lactation support, and naturopathy—all designed to meet mothers where they are, at home. Together with our sister brand, Mothers Mylk, we provide the tools, products, and courses mothers need to support their health.
At Mothers Clinic, your well-being comes first.

When I fell pregnant with my second son, I thought there's got to be a better way. I literally said, “I'm not going through that again.” I wished there was some sort of guide, something that just told me what to expect and what I needed to do to prepare. I pitched the idea of Mothers Mylk to Alana, and she was like, “Yeah, I'm all in - mums need this.” And that's how it evolved.
The best part is our online clinic offers support to Mums across Australia and they don't have to leave their house for an appointment. They don't have to sit in the waiting room or put the baby in the car so it’s all from the comfort of your own home.
Shannons Story
We started in 2021. I had a really hard time transitioning to motherhood; I’d had postpartum depression and postpartum depletion and nutritional deficiencies. I was completely overwhelmed, and I guess I didn't know what to expect coming into motherhood.
I thought I was prepared because I focused on the baby, and the nursery was perfect! I had all the gadgets but then I forgot about me.
Looking back, I think I was totally unprepared for what was going to happen and I had no idea about my nutritional demands or how to prepare for the 4th trimester, or breastfeeding a newborn. I reached out to Naturopath Alana for support so I was actually a client of hers!
