Why Pillars of Parenting exists
Pillars of Parenting was established in response to a community need for greater quality, professional parenting support and accessibility within the industry. Too many Sydney families were navigating behavioural, sleep and feeding challenges alone, or piecing together conflicting advice.
Our purpose is to provide unmatched care for families and babies by creating greater streams of education and knowledge retention within the community — in turn creating more confident parents who are equipped with the fundamentals of parenting.
- Generational confidence within the family unit
- Decisions simplified through connected, evidence-based support
- A continuous circle of care, not a one-off consult
Hi, I'm Jane — welcome to Pillars of Parenting
Mothercraft Nurse & Doula · 36+ Years Neonatal Intensive Care & Mothercraft Experience
"I founded Pillars of Parenting after spending over 36 years working in Neonatal Intensive Care, alongside extensive experience and certification in sleep, feeding and lactation support. Time and again I saw the same thing: parents who were exhausted, second-guessing themselves, and missing a genuine circle of care."
"I started this practice to change that — bringing hospital-grade knowledge into Sydney homes with a warm, judgement-free, responsive approach. Every family I work with gets a plan built around their baby, their routine and their values, not a generic script."
Support across every focus area
The same six focus areas run through every service — online, in-home, or overnight.
Birth planning
Written birth preferences, nursery prep and what to expect — with a qualified Doula.
Antenatal care
Obstetrician, midwife and hospital recommendations, plus referrals.
Sleep & settling
Removing sleep associations, healthy habits, AM/PM routines.
Behavioural management
Age-appropriate rules, breaking behaviour cycles, positive reinforcement.
Feeding
Attachment, positions, expressing, supply, weaning and feeding routines.
Postnatal care
Continuous support for mother, child and family to six months.
The Pillars clinical difference
Parenthood guidance built on infant development and gentle co-regulation, never behavioural extinction.
Controlled Crying Methods
Treats infant sleep as purely behavioural. Extinction-based methods can leave both baby and parents distressed, with little support through the process.
Attuned, Responsive Settling
We work with wake windows, routine and gentle, hands-on settling techniques — so your baby learns to feel safe and secure, never left to cry alone.
Parents Running on Empty
Sleep deprivation and isolation take a real toll on new parents — and it's easy to feel like there's nowhere to turn.
Supporting the Whole Family
In-home and overnight support gives parents real, restorative rest — with a gentle clinical debrief and someone to talk to along the way.
One-Size-Fits-All Advice
Generic feeding scripts rarely account for your baby, your body and your circumstances.
Guidance Without Guilt
Breast, bottle, combination or weaning — we support the feeding method that works for your family, without judgement.
The principles behind every consultation
Warm, judgement-free support
Every family's situation is different. We listen first, and never make parents feel judged for where they're starting from.
Evidence-based practice
Guidance is grounded in clinical training and current best practice — never fads or one-size-fits-all scripts.
Continuity of care
Support doesn't end at the first session — we build an ongoing circle of care your family can return to as needs change.
Let's build your family's circle of care
Whether it's a single telehealth session or an ongoing sleep management program, we'll help you find the right starting point.
