Shona Cassels
Lactation Consultant
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).​
Gold Coast based lactation consultant and breastfeeding expert.
I am a passionate lactation consultant and breastfeeding expert, dedicated to helping mums and babies navigate their sometimes-tricky breastfeeding journey. My style of supporting mums and bubs, through what can be a scary and emotional time, is based on practical, safe guidance and evidence.
The methods I recommend are backed by evidence, they’re gentle for both mum and baby and they’re designed to allow both to thrive through their breastfeeding journey. Every baby is unique and every mum’s experience with breastfeeding is different, so whether you are just starting out breastfeeding and finding it challenging and painful, or if you’re further along and have hit a "speed bump" that you need help with, I will listen to your story and your goals to create a personalised plan that best supports you and your baby.
Tracey Tyley
Motherhood Village
Postpartum Mental Health Peer Worker
Postpartum Care & Education Professional (Doula)
I believe Motherhood is both an innate and a learnt skill. I offer support for those who are new to Motherhood, who are having a difficult time, or who simply need help.
Motherhood Village was created to help those Mothers who don't have family nearby, friends or established support networks here on the Gold Coast. Most importantly to help Mothers struggling with their mental health postpartum.

Assessment Matters
Child and Adolescent Psychology
Kerry Lowe - Hope Island
Kerry is passionate about ensuring children with school-related difficulties undergo assessment so that they can receive the most appropriate adjustments, support and intervention.
