Thrive was founded by mums struggling to find the services to help their children. After experiencing complex challenges in our own & extended families’ health and lactation journeys due to lack of resources, we decided to channel our unwavering dedication to help other parents facing this same need. In our own transitions to motherhood, we were struck by the lack of education in the support available, both in public health and in very expensive private clinics.

We are driven by our strong sense of justice, integrity and commitment to ethical inclusion for all. We put people over profits and add value everywhere we can, as everyone deserves. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in quality results for YOU.

When our psychological health, our sense of safety and sleep is maximised, anything is possible! Together we change the world. When we heal the child, mother, the family, we heal the community.

So many of us live with suboptimal health that we get told is ‘normal’. We are people who have had privileged access to a ‘first world health care system’ yet couldn't find help to get ‘well’. We can sometimes feel gaslighted by a well intentioned the system that is supposed to help us but is overstretched and can struggle to individualise details of care.

We keep our finger on the pulse at Thrive. Most of us are mothers of young children, still involved with the current lived experiences of real families. Some of us are volunteering and still having babies. This adds to our desire to seek out and utilise the latest possible information to help our clients, to shape the world, to defend vulnerable people and uphold the human rights of babies, children, women, and families.

We are passionate allies; LGBTIQ+ and neurodiversity safe (ADHD & autistic, AuDHD, PDA, etc) and trauma-informed.

We are also proud research nerds! You will not easily find a team who has read more primary source data research than us each week. Separately, we have invested many tens of thousands of dollars in our own education, university, professional and personal learning, and do so regularly.

Thrive staff share a passion for lifelong learning. We aim to share that, to best serve you, as you deserve.
