About The Motherhood
The village you deserve.
Our Story
Modern mums need a village — finding one shouldn't feel so hard.
The Motherhood was born from a simple realisation. Located in the heart of Devonport, it's a calm, joyful sanctuary designed for both you and your little ones — a space to breathe out, feel seen, and access exceptional care without it ever feeling cold or clinical.
We believe that to take care of a little one, we must first take care of the mum — and that care is best when we work together. By bringing an exceptional team of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and paediatric practitioners under one roof, we offer you a seamless safety net of support from preconception all the way through to parenthood.
Whether you're navigating fertility, expecting your first baby, in the newborn trenches, chasing a toddler, or just trying to find you again — our doors and hearts are open.
Combining clinical care with community connection.
Through exceptional support services, mothers groups and educational workshops, your motherhood journey is shared with women walking the exact same path.

Meet the Founder
Ashleigh Loubser
Perinatal & Paediatric Chiropractor · Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) · Founder of The Motherhood
Over my 16 years as a chiropractor and lactation consultant, I have walked alongside so many families navigating the early days of motherhood. Along the way, I became a mother of three myself, and realised how much mums need a true circle of support — not just a collection of separate appointments, but a genuine team working together for them.
The Motherhood is that dream coming to life. I wanted to build a warm, welcoming sanctuary that completely lightens your mental load, where you can walk in, breathe out, and access exceptional care all in one place.
I am so thrilled you're here, and I can't wait to welcome you into our village.
