Care Lactation

Care Lactation was established in 2022 by Leanne, a Registered Nurse, Midwife, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with over 25 years of experience. As a mum of three herself, she combines her professional expertise with lived experience to provide calm, practical, and reassuring care to families.

Leanne offers home visits within 100km of Warrnambool, supporting parents where they feel most comfortable, as well as consults from Warrnambool Obstetrics & Gynaecology and her own practice. From prenatal breastfeeding education to navigating simple or complex feeding challenges, Leanne provides personalised care at every stage.

With weekend and out-of-hours support available (because babies don’t follow business hours!), Care Lactation is here to help you feel more confident in your feeding journey.

Elle Jackson – Birth Photography & Hypnobirthing

Elle Jackson offers two deeply supportive services for families: soulful birth and family photography, and Hypnobirthing Australia™ classes.

As a birth photographer, Elle captures the quiet, in-between moments that make motherhood unforgettable, from the first hours with your baby to the everyday magic of family life. Her background in nursing brings a grounded, respectful presence to her work, ensuring families feel safe and supported in front of the camera.

Alongside photography, Elle is a certified Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner. She provides group and private classes, equipping women and their partners with tools for birth, including breathwork, visualisation, and relaxation techniques, while fostering confidence and calm.

Whether she’s documenting your story through images or guiding you through birth preparation, Elle’s approach is always gentle, empowering, and deeply honouring of each family’s journey.

Bri Crowe – Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

Pelvic health is often overlooked, yet it’s central to every woman’s wellbeing through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. As a dedicated Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Bri works with women across their whole lifespan to support, restore, and protect pelvic floor function.

She helps women manage and prevent issues such as bladder or bowel incontinence, urgency, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, and painful intercourse. Bri also supports safe return to exercise postpartum and provides proactive care to reduce future dysfunction.

Her goal is simple: to empower women with knowledge, treatment, and strategies so they can stay active, confident, and symptom-free without feeling limited by motherhood or age.
