The Good Farm Shop

Hi my name is Janine. I’ve been so lucky to work with many mums, dads, babies and their families over the past 30 years as a registered nurse specialising in obstetrics and as a trained mentor, birth and postpartum doula, educator and mum of 3.  I’m truly passionate about supporting families as they grow and transition into their wonderful fourth trimester and settle into life as parents and as a new family.  It’s a joy to see parents grow in confidence and enjoy this precious time surrounded by love, nourishment, nurturing care, practical help, and a kind guiding hand to support them. Caring for the new and healing mum is so important as she is able to rest and get to know her little one.

It’s a privilege to be part of this wonderful journey with them all.

I’m a general practitioner with a special interest in fertility, lactation medicine, perinatal and infant health. My approach focuses on providing personalised, sensitive care to women and families from preconception, through pregnancy to the postpartum period and beyond. I am have a Diploma in Child Health and I am a Neuroprotective Developmental Care Accredited Practitioner, supporting families with feeding, baby sleep and cry-fuss problems. I work at Nurtured Medical in Avalon, Sydney and Genea Fertility in the CBD. Appointments are available in -clinic, via Telehealth and in-home.

Welcome to Maternal and Infant Wellbeing Melbourne. This boutique Women’s health and Perinatal experience founded by Dr. Amber Hart, aims to nurture women and babies through providing consistent, evidence-based, exceptional quality care. At MIWM we provide general and specialist women’s and children’s medical consultations, classes, allied therapies and complementary services to ensure that women and families receive exceptional care in a safe and nurturing environment.

“We are leading the way in healthcare innovation with our first of it’s kind Day Stay Experience”.

This 7 hour stay is designed to give mother’s the confidence to feed and settle their babies in a way that meets their own unique parenting goals. We support mental health and postpartum wellbeing by providing a mother’s helper for the day and every mum has a luxurious day spa treatment included in their package.  Babies are treated to a divine sensory class and mum’s get to choose from a sleep and settling consult, and osteo consult or a baby carrying consult and they will have all feeds supervised by Breastfeeding Medicine and Infant sleep expert, Dr. Amber Hart.

We also offer Australia’s only GTT experience. 

During pregnancy, it is recommended that women undergo screening for Gestational Diabetes.  Historically, this test has been dreaded by mum, but we’ve now made it something to look forward to.

Mums arrive fasted and have their blood tests taken by one of our experienced staff members.  They are then treated to an hour of rest in our divine relaxation room and an hour day spa treatment.  This service is seeing an increased uptake in screening and also promoting antenatal and postnatal wellbeing by linking women in with exceptional quality pregnancy and post-natal services.  As such, we are focusing on prevention rather than cure.”
