Ready to lighten your load and embrace the support you deserve?

founder

CERTIFIED MATRESCENCE PRACTITIONER / MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH PEER SUPPORTER / BREASTFEEDING PEER COUNSELLOR / MENTAL HEALTH & SUICIDE PREVENTION ADVOCATE

I’m Jessie, the founder of Dew Drops Postpartum Ltd. and a proud mama to Ilay (4), named after his Great Great Grandad, pronounced like Riley without the R!

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 saw a gap in proactive and compassionate support for families, especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and the fourth trimester. My passion is supporting parents and their homes by alleviating both physical and mental burdens that often come with raising children.

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.

I am a trained Maternal Mental Health Peer Supporter, Breastfeeding Peer Counsellor, and Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Advocate. I use my lived experiences and a wide range of resources to offer holistic support that empowers you to feel heard and understood.

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.

Meet the Team

  • COMMUNITY SUPPORT WORKER / QUALIFIED LIFE COACH / HEALTH & WELLBEING CERTIFIED / MAMA

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • REGISTERED TEACHER (PRIMARY & ECE) / NATURE PLAY FACILITATOR / WOMENS CIRCLE FACILITATOR

    I’m Danika, mama to two boys (3 & 1) and a registered teacher with experience in schools, ECE, and nature play spaces. I'm deeply passionate about supporting and nurturing women, especially new mamas, and I also co-facilitate women’s circles and workshops.

    With a love for cooking and providing nourishment, I’m dedicated to supporting families, particularly during the postpartum period. I’m currently working toward my Certificate in Medical Herbalism to deepen my holistic care approach.

    Joining Dew Drops allows me to help mothers and families by taking on everyday tasks and providing more time, one of the most precious things during parenthood. I’m excited to support you through this special journey!

  • BIRTH & POSTNATAL DOULA / EX-PRIMARY TEACHER / LIFE COACH / PARENTAL WELLBEING ADVOCATE

    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!

  • REGISTERED ECE TEACHER / CERTIFIED SLEEP CONSULTANT / MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH PEER SUPPORTER

    I’m a foodie who loves to get creative in the kitchen, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Dew Drops team! It’s an honor to support families during the 4th trimester and beyond, helping ease the physical load so you can take more time for yourselves and your little ones.

    Whether you’re a first-time parent or juggling a growing family, each new child brings fresh challenges. That’s why it’s such a joy to help lighten the load by taking care of daily household tasks, making any transition a bit easier. I believe that with a little help, you can focus on what truly matters: your family and your well-being.

    I look forward to meeting you and supporting your family in the areas where you need it most!
