💬 Workshop Snapshot

💛 Sustainable(ish) Motherhood – The Honest Edition
A practical, heart-forward eco-parenting workshop

In choosing Anna to facilitate these workshops, you're not just getting a presenter — you're getting Anna. The real-deal, tell-it-like-it-is version. 💁🏼‍♀️

She’s been a NICU mum. She’s photographed hundreds of babies over the years — rainbow babies, star babies, brand-new sleepy potatoes. She’s held space for families in moments of raw grief and wild joy, and she brings that same warmth, humour, and honesty into the room every time.

📸 Discover the story behind Anna’s NICU photography — a deeply personal way she gives back to families when they need it most. 👉 HERE

✨ This isn’t a Pinterest-perfect parenting session.
It’s a sticky, honest look at what sustainable(ish) motherhood really looks like.

With humour, real talk, and hands-on moments, we’ll unpack the guilt, bust the perfection myth, and leave parents feeling seen, supported, and a little more confident in doing things their own beautifully imperfect way.

🧺 Workshop Flow
The topics below represent possible discussion points. The final session will be tailored to the confirmed duration — not all topics will be included in shorter workshops.

Workshop Overview Ideas

🫶 1. Welcome & Introductions
Gentle photo slideshow while I share our NICU story and set the tone.

🧼 2. Hands On – DIY Baby Wipes: Because Poop Happens 💩
A practical session on making your own low-waste baby wipes (*materials provided).
I aim to source all containers secondhand to reflect the workshop’s low-waste ethos — ideally via local op shops. The only other materials I need is a big jar of coconut oil, a roll of paper towels for each person, a small bottle of Dr Bronners soap and a bottle of lavender oil.
While I’m happy to coordinate sourcing, I kindly request that the cost of materials (e.g. containers & ingredients) be covered or reimbursed, or that the venue supports in gathering supplies if needed.

👕 3. Secondhand Gold – Baby Clothes on a Budget
Where to find it, and why op shops are a mama’s best friend.

Anna sourced mostly everything secondhand — seriously, mostly everything. But this isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being resourceful. She’ll share how her ADHD-brain turned local op shops into a system: rotating clothes by size, storing them creatively in a small home, upcycling oversized pieces (no sewing machine needed 🙃), and eventually reselling them — meaning Frankie wore organic, beautiful clothes that practically paid for themselves.

This session shows how secondhand can be smart, stylish, sustainable… and so doable.

🧸 4. The Toy Tally – Sustainable(ish) Play

  • Borrow from toy libraries & book libraries
    I have so much content, photos and films to share on this.

  • Buy secondhand (op shops, markets, online)

  • Rotate & store toys in batches

  • Less stuff = more imagination

  • Focus on reuse over landfill

🍼 5. Boob Business
Real talk, tried-and-tested advice, and “pumping is a love language” wisdom.

As a NICU mum to a 5-week-prem bub, Anna knows firsthand the emotional rollercoaster of expressing — from freezer-stashing hacks to surviving 2am pump sessions with cracked nipples and a questionable playlist.

This session shares not only the practical side of feeding (pumping, freezing, storing, and all the realities in between) — but also offers space for honest conversations about the pressure, the pride, and the power of showing up for your baby, whatever your feeding journey looks like.

♻️ 6. Cloth Nappies – Truth Bombs
Part-time hacks, no-guilt encouragement, and honest landfill facts.

Anna used reusable nappies — just not in the dreamy, full-time, eco-warrior way she thought she would. But hey, part-time still counts. And she’s not here to preach, she’s here to share what actually worked (and what absolutely didn’t) in a way that meets parents where they’re at.

This is a judgement-free zone where half-efforts still count, real-life challenges are respected, and small changes are celebrated. Whether you’re full-time cloth, part-time, or just cloth-curious — you’re welcome here.

👶 7. NICU Love
A gentle space to share stories of prematurity, loss, and early love.

🎤 Why Me?

I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns, worked in Melbourne hospitals capturing baby–parent bonds, and volunteered in the NICU documenting life at its most fragile.

I’m a NICU mum myself — Frankie spent her first two weeks in an incubator. I’ve been the mum in crisis, covered in milk, crying over cloth nappies.

For a decade, I ran large-scale wedding events with military precision and heart — timelines, guests, lighting, DJs, seating plans — sorted. Now I bring that same energy to workshops with soul.

I reach 40,000+ people online every week and speak from lived, vulnerable experience. My mission? To make sustainable parenting feel human, doable, and a little bit funny.

💻 Tech & Setup

I’ll bring my own MacBook and slideshow — just need a screen/projector (HDMI or USB-C compatible). No fancy AV needed. A whiteboard & markers.
