About me
Hello, my friend I’m Jayde.
I'm a 4/6 Manifesting Generator, Gemini sun, Cancer moon and Pisces rising. I'm a mum to 2 girls Paige and Charli, a wife to Josh, a dog mum to 2 crazy dogs and homesteading lover on our 9 acre property. I love a good coffee, dancing in the kitchen, lifting heavy weights but also slowing down and doing yoga. I swear, I laugh, I play and most of the time Josh thinks I’m a complete idiot. But most of all I was born to help mothers thrive. This business is my life's purpose and hang around me long enough you'll see why.
So how did I get here? It all started when I walked out of my 6 week postpartum check up after having Paige in 2021. I remember walking out of that thinking "What the actual fuck!!! I just grew a person in me for 9 months, had a 43 hours labour, emergency cesarean and my baby was taken from me for over 5 hrs with fluid on her lungs and all you want to know is what contraception are you using and then send me on my way"
I had always been a healthy person, played sport, I was (am) a High School PE teacher and Integrative Nutrition Health and Nutrition coach so I knew this was wrong and so not fucking good enough for mums. Where was the holistic care? The nutritional support? The referral to the physio? Anything!! Something!!
But with all I knew I still struggled postpartum!
While recovering on my own postpartum health journey I struggled with my relationship changes and sex and intimacy, body image issues, I’d cry because none of my clothes fit, my back hurt, I was tired, mad at myself, I was sad, I got mastitis, my whole life had been flipped upside down, I was overwhelmed and stressed, I had mum guilt, I felt like I couldn't keep up with life and looking around everyone seems to be crushing motherhood but once I got to talking to mums it seems so many felt the same.
I decided something had to be done for myself and other mums. I looked at going back to uni to be a midwife or anything that would allow me to help mums. Then when I was researching starting solids with Paige I stumbled across Oh baby School of Nutrition. From then a fire was lit, I enrolled and within 12 months I had graduated as a pregnancy, postpartum and nutrition consultant and started this biz! Inspired to support mums on their journey to thriving throughout motherhood!
And then, well I had my second baby Charli in September 2023 and discovered all over again how little we are taught about how to be a healthy thriving mother. My life wasn't turned upside down this time, more like spun around and shaken up a little but I still was smacked in the face with the pressures of motherhood, had to navigate my relationship with my husband Josh AGAIN, find time for myself, cope with the noise of a busy household that would spike my stress and overwhelm, manage a household and get organised with 2 kids, find myself as I transitioned from maiden to mother AGAIN which this time hit hard and fast and how to not be the stressed, burnt out, tired and overwhelmed mum that society tells us that all mums are. While I was learning how to do all this I realized that we are literally taught jack shit about how to be a mum! And anything we are taught revolves around the kids- how to start solids, how to nurture their emotions, how to help them transition through puberty. Where is the lesson on how to nurture the mothers emotions, how to help her physical and mental health and how to help her transition into a mother?
Enter Mum School and The Wheel Of Life For Mothers: A Holistic Approach to a Mothers Health
Now after coaching many mums and experiencing all the wild crazy things that motherhood offers myself I have developed a unique approach to supporting mothers through motherhood called The Wheel Of Life For Mothers: A Holistic Approach to a Mothers Health. Many coaches use a Wheel of Life but let's be real, a mothers health is complicated and not like anything else. When we are tired and need a break someone still needs us to show up for them and hold their emotions. Though, after coaching many women I realised mums often don't have the time to work 1:1 with a coach but they all need help in some area whether it be support in their intimate relationship, organising their finances, finding support in a mum village, getting into their feminine energy, self care, exercise, nutrition, mental health, parenting, finding their passion, finding a job that lights them up or just need someone to listen them vent about the washing or the bloody toy their uncle got their kids that makes noise and is sending them crazy. Whatever it is Mum School’s got you back, I've got your back. My mission is to show mums that motherhood doesn't mean you have to sacrifice yourself and your health, you can thrive in motherhood.
Ready to smash through the story and stereotype that being a mum means you'll be stressed, tired, have a ‘mum bod’ and no time for yourself? Then mama, I'm your mum, I'm your cheerleader, in your coach and I've got you. Let's get started!!
Fuck this bullshit story that when you become a mum you are destined to be stressed, your sex life will die, you’ll put on weight and you’ll never thrive again!

If you want to know more about me and my births, they were wild. Paige was born after 43 hours of labour, an emergency cesarean, fluid on her lungs, didn't see her until she was 5 hrs old & wasn't allowed to stay with me until the next day. You can read that here.
Charli, planned cesarean, punctured lung, flown to another hospital 4 hours from where I was, Josh followed up behind her in the car & brought her back to me 3 days later. You can read that here.
I also had a miscarriage in between my girls. You can read about that here.
