Scared you don’t know how to be a mum?
Find yourself pregnant and terrified that you can’t do it: the birth, the feeding, the sleep deprivation?
Have a cyclone of negative, doubty, thoughts spinning around in your head?
Probably about:
- How you’ll cope with transitioning from independent working girl, to, sleep deprived, (FREAKISHLY new) Mumma-in-training;
- How you’ll learn the (approximately) 1 BILLION new things that come with being a first-time mum (just kidding, there’s not that many. Honestly);
- How YOU want to parent amidst the millions of tips, tricks, and anecdotes you are bombarded with daily.
Or, maybe your worried how a tiny human will affect your relationship with your partner…
You know, goodbye date nights, travel and disposable income…
No matter what’s worrying you right now, I want to be the support system to you, that I didn’t know I needed.
IF YOU NOD IN AGREEMENT AT ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
READ ON (I have something special for you)
-
You’re scared that you will be so tired and overwhelmed that you will be miserable.
-
You are used to a good 8 hours of sleep and have no clue how you’ll cope when sleep is not an option.
-
You are terrified that you just won’t be able to do it: care for a baby, love a baby, be alone with a baby.
Introducing my new one-on-one coaching service
Hi, I’m Amanda, your private cheer leader and fellow first-time mum.
I help 9-5 career driven women smoothly transition over to motherhood (& even back again).
I want you to know that all those doubts you’re having or feelings that you ‘shouldn’t’ feeling – are totally & absolutely normal.
I would know, I’ve dedicated my life to coaching women, like you, on all of this.

You’re my type of woman if:
- You’re TRYING for a baby. Baby number 1, and this whole ‘motherhood’ thing feels like scary, UNCHARTERED waters for you;
- You’ve already received the good news that you’ve got a bun in the oven and, while you’re waiting, you feel you need some extra guidance or support;
No matter which stage of ‘motherhood’ you’re currently at:
I’VE GOT YOU
I’m offering a handful of first-time mums the chance to work with me one-on-one via one of my 3 packages:
So, who am I to be coaching you?
- I get what it’s like to have been so career-focused: I spent 8 years as a medical researcher (PhD in physiotherapy), and I’ve spent the last 3 years studying how to reduce the major global health threat that is antibiotic resistance.
- I have a Masters level qualification in teaching
- I’ve studied in Canada with Health Psychologists – so, I probably understand the way our tricky women mind’s work, better than the next person
- Apparently I know what I’m talking about. My research articles have been published in 24 medical publications online. Some of those included The Medical Journal of Australia, the Journal American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine and the Cochrane Library.
I’ve been through it all – trodden the path leading from career blazing worker girl, to pregnancy, to mummy-in-training, to solopreneur.
I’ve felt the fear of doing it wrong, or like you’re failing because you haven’t ticked off anything on your to-do list. But, I’ve finally learnt how to feel joy again, accept my imperfections, and to relax and enjoy MY journey. You can too, I’ll show you how.
Here’s what some Not Just Mum clients have to say about me:
I know what you’re thinking:
- That you shouldn’t have to ask for help (isn’t that weak?!). You should be able to work it out on you own.
- Why work with me and not someone else?
- Can I really afford you at a time when I should be saving for the baby?
Well, I’m here to tell you that our minds are talented tricksters when it comes to convincing us that we should be doing better or we should be able to manage. The reality is that thousands of other women are feeling the same way you are.
So, what are you waiting for? Book in for a complimentary chat here and let’s get this ball rolling!
BUT WAIT,
IF THIS IS YOU:
- You feel on top of the world;
- You’re sailing smoothly through pregnancy;
- You feel totally connected to yourself and your life.
Then, we probably shouldn’t work together. It sounds to me like you are nailing it! Yes! Go forth, and be awesome.

Just because you’re awesome doesn’t mean we can’t stay in touch
