is never about the baby.
Wednesday mornings. Tea on the table. A pram or two in the corner. Women who actually want to know how you are. The Gathering Table is a free weekly community for Sunshine Coast mums and their little ones, and the only mums' group on the Coast that puts the mother at the centre.

The Weekly Meetup
Every Wednesday | 9:30 to 11:00am
We meet somewhere each week, rotating between pram-friendly cafes and shaded spots by the water across the Sunshine Coast. Come as you are, leave when the nap window demands it. Locations posted in the community every Monday.

Matrescence Sessions
For the mum who's quietly wondering who she is now. A small, intimate session on matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood that nobody warned you about. Babes in arms always welcome. RSVP to save your seat.

There's a name for what you're feeling.
It's called matrescence:
The developmental transition into motherhood. Like adolescence, it reorganises your hormones, your brain, your relationships and your identity, all at once. Researchers can now see it on brain scans. It is real, it is physiological, and it is not a sign that something is wrong with you.
Here's what the research says mothers in this transition need most: to have the experience named and normalised, and to be genuinely connected with other women going through it. Not advice. Not fixing. Connection.
That's why I built The Gathering Table.
