What you’ll find inside the Haven

• Self-paced resources for overwhelm, mum guilt, emotional wellbeing, and identity shifts
• Quiet reflection prompts you can do from your phone during a walk, while nap trapped, or while feeding
• A kind and honest group of mums navigating the same season

• All curated and hosted by Jessica Carroll. A perinatal psychologist and mum of 2 littles in Brisbane, Australia.

For the 0–2 season

Support that sees the mother, not just the baby.

The first two years with a baby can feel isolating, overwhelming, and endlessly demanding.

Nurturing Haven helps you make sense of the emotional rollercoaster, build gentle routines that work for you, and feel held by women who truly get it.

Emotional wellbeing

Understand postpartum mood changes, worry, and rage with compassionate, evidence‑based lessons and grounding practices you can actually fit into your day.

Identity & relationships

Navigate the shift from “me” to “mum”, set gentle boundaries, and have hard conversations with partners and family without losing yourself in the process.

Everyday practical support

From regulation strategies to returning to work, get checklists, scripts, and routines that make daily life with a baby or toddler feel lighter and more manageable.

The Founder of Nurturing Haven

"I've been a perinatal psychologist for years but it wasn't until I became a mother myself that I started to deeply understand the incredible personal shift that comes with motherhood and I found myself wondering, why do I treat myself in a certain way as a mother? And how come I feel lonely despite never really being alone?

Four years later, after much exploration and late night thinking (plus another baby!) it has led me here. To creating Nurturing Haven. The accessible, supportive, wise space that I wish I had when I was first becoming a mum and going through incredible change.

All this alongside a warm and honest village of like-minded mothers. Because we are not alone. It was never meant to be that way."

Nap-time sized learning for your real life.

Log in from your phone, watch a 10‑minute lesson while you feed, or listen to the audio while you walk the pram. Each path is broken into gentle steps so you never feel behind.

Our private community is a calm corner of the internet—no doom‑scrolling, no judgement, just mums sharing honestly about what this season is really like and learning from each other.

  • Personalised voice note conversations with Jessica

What's coming soon?

  • In person events with other aligned businesses in Brisbane.

You can engage quietly or fully, baby in arms or not, dishes in the sink or laundry piled high.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions, answered

Because you already have a lot on your mind.

If you still have questions after reading this, you can always reach out and I'll respond with care, not pressure.

I’m already overwhelmed. Will this just be another thing on my to‑do list?

I built Nurturing Haven specifically for this season of motherhood.
Yes you are busy caring for your baby AND you are worth some of your own time.

You can access specific resources you can turn to when you most need them, and private podcast series with only short episodes that you can listen to while feeding or walking, and there is no such thing as falling behind. Think of these as a gentle companion in your pocket, not a course you have to “complete”.

The Haven also offers online courses that run for a specific timeframe. For these courses, the episodes included are brief enough that you can fit them into your week without falling behind. Then you can join the live calls each week ready to expand and learn more from the cohort of other mums.

Is this right for me if my baby is older than 2 years?

Our content is designed with the 0–2 years window in mind, but many mums of 3–4‑year‑olds find the emotional support and identity content helpful too. If your youngest is under 4 years and you resonate with how we talk about motherhood, you’re very welcome here.

What if I’m already seeing a therapist or psychologist?

Good on you. Nurturing Haven is not a replacement for therapy or medical care—it’s a supportive space for the everyday mother, not for those seeking individual support or treatment of mental health conditions like postnatal depression or anxiety. Members can use the resources and community of Nurturing Haven alongside their professional support to feel more held between appointments but this is not a crisis service and participants will need to be clinically stable to complete Nurturing Haven's online courses.

Can I cancel if it’s not the right fit?

Yes. You can cancel your membership anytime with a couple of clicks. You’ll keep access until the end of your current billing period and you’re always welcome back if your circumstances change.
