Jessie’s story

Founder of Dew Drops, and proud mum of Ilay (5), Dew Drops was born from my personal postpartum experiences, where I found a deep need for practical, holistic support for parents. I wanted to share the tools and knowledge I gained to help others navigate their own journeys with ease.

I am deeply committed to supporting families through all stages of parenthood, including grief, loss, health challenges, and everyday life hurdles. I provide a safe, judgment-free space, offering my knowledge and resources to help guide you through difficult times.

When I’m not helping families, I love cooking, cleaning, and organizing – especially preparing for the arrival of little ones. I love working with parents to help them slow down, take time for themselves, and create a supportive environment as they adjust to the beautiful chaos of parenthood.

kirsten’s story

After 20 years in the UK as a teacher, coach, and birth/postnatal doula, I returned to New Zealand during COVID. After settling my family, I retrained as a proofreader, but I was drawn back to postpartum support through Dew Drops.

I’ve always advocated for mother and baby well-being, running retreats and workshops in the UK to improve postnatal care. I’ve worked with midwives and obstetricians to improve outcomes and served on the Perinatal Mental Health committee to give mothers a voice in policy.

As a doula, I’m here to provide practical support and reassurance during the postpartum period, whether it’s offering a chat, folding laundry, or preparing homemade snacks. I’m thrilled to be part of the Dew Drops team and look forward to meeting you!

percy’s story

With a background as a teacher, life coach, community support worker, and disability advocate, I bring a needs-based approach to postpartum care. Whether it's helping with self-care practices, supporting through overwhelm, or simply doing the dishes, I’m here to listen, lighten your load, and find what works for you.

I believe in the power of supportive, interdependent communities, especially during the life-changing experience of parenthood. Healthy whānau begins with being present and showing up for each other, and to do that, we need to recharge and lean on others.

As a white, queer, neurodivergent individual, I offer person-centered, trauma-informed care, grounded in te Tiriti o Waitangi, and draw on my lived experience to support those facing neurodivergent burnout or found family challenges.

Laura’s story

As a mum of three little girls, I get just how overwhelming managing the mental load of parenting, home life, schedules, and *all the things* can be - especially when the one thing we are told to prioritise as a mum is a moment to yourself!

In our own household, we are a mix of different neurodiversities, and navigate our day-to-day family life around differing needs. Understanding that every family is unique, I aim to work alongside households with curiosity, empathy, and flexibility.

Alongside my lived experience, I have a background in communications, facilities management, and property management - so communication, problem-solving, and designing systems are my jam.

Nicole’s story

I am a proud mum to three beautiful children and have spent over 20 years working in education, both in early childhood centres and as a Teaching Assistant in primary schools.

My personal journey has deeply shaped who I am today - after experiencing the loss of my daughter due to premature birth, navigating postnatal depression, and later grieving the loss of my father, I found a renewed passion for supporting others.

I care deeply about children, but also about advocating for women’s mental health and the very real struggles mothers face after birth under society’s pressures.

Through Dew Drops Postpartum Support, I am excited to walk alongside mothers and their precious little ones - offering compassion, understanding, and gentle support to nurture both mum and baby.

I know how overwhelming the early days can be, so I also offer practical help with easing household tasks, creating more space for rest, recovery, and connection with your new baby.
