Meet Your New Besties
We are your besties in birth support & education!
So, you’re new around here…
Birth is hard & motherhood is messy—we get it!
We’re just two mum besties, right in the thick of it—night wakes, nappy changes, tantrums, the whole messy, beautiful ride (see left). But more than that, we’re passionate about supporting and educating mums-to-be like you. We’ve been by each other’s sides for it all—cheering each other on in birth, holding space through those raw, emotional weeks postpartum, and figuring out motherhood together. Now, we want to bring that same love, care, and support to you. Whether it’s preparing for birth, navigating the early days of motherhood, or just finding your footing in this wild new world, we’ve got your back.
Let’s do this together!
HEY, I’m JESS!
A wildly passionate hot mess of a mum & midwife
I jumped straight out of high school as a little teenybopper and into midwifery, thanks to Call the Midwife and One Born Every Minute. Once I finished my Bachelor of Midwifery degree I married my childhood sweetheart and have worked as a midwife ever since!
I’ve spent some time working across all areas of maternity care from birth unit to Midwifery Group Practise for the last 8 years and in that time have become slightly obsessed with helping unlock the badass birther in all of us. Our societies best kept secret is how strong women are and how incredibly designed are bodies are to birth and nurture our babes!
Cub & Kin was born (with my bestie Kat, of course) out of the desire to bust the myth that its all too hard! Birth is big and tough, yes—but we are stronger! However you want your birth to look—whether its an ocean birth with the dolphins or an elective c-section—I want to help you reclaim your power in the birth and early parenting space, so you enter parenthood with all the strength and wisdom a positive birth experience can give us.
I braved the cultural norms and chose to have 2 homebirths, the first was long and SO hard and the second was short and hard. Both were incredible and life changing. I know first hand how transformative and chaotic this journey can be. Don’t be fooled by the fancy head shots—I am a hot mess 99% of the time!
Being a proudly neurospicy mum means I am a major oversharer—telling you how birth and motherhood really is, in all of its messy, raw and wonderful fullness.
I would love to be a part of your epic journey, seeing you transform into the badass birthers and parents you were built to be!
AND I’m kaT!
A big-hearted, people-loving, deeply emotional mum & doula
My doula journey started back in 2022 when I became a mum for the first time. Pregnancy felt like stepping into an entirely new world—a mix of wonder, nerves, and what the heck is happening to my body?! As birth got closer, I felt my “plans” slipping away and was terrified of becoming just another woman left feeling hurt, confused, or broken by the process. But instead? I walked away feeling proud, strong, and completely in awe of what my body and baby achieved. That moment changed everything for me—it showed me the true power of feeling supported, heard and empowered, and I want every family to feel the same.
And that’s where my passion was born (pun intended). I know it was my solid, confident, and trusted support team that made all the difference, and now I want to be that for others! That dream turned into Cub & Kin, where I’m all about helping families feel supported, confident, and proud—no matter what their journey looks like.
My heart also deeply beats for the fourth trimester aka postpartum. I am obsessed with supporting mums to feel seen, nourished, and held through those raw, messy, beautiful weeks after birth as we debrief birth and hit the learning curve of new parenthood hard.
At the end of the day, my biggest hope is that you are left feeling like a total rockstar—empowered, connected, and ready to take on parenthood with confidence. Side note: I’m here for the whole family, whatever that looks like for you.
As a mum of two wonderfully chaotic toddlers, I get the wild highs and sleep-deprived lows of parenting, and I’m here to walk beside you through it all. Whether it’s birth, postpartum, or just figuring out how to get through the day (hello, coffee), we’re in this together!
So, how do we do it?
