More to Mum is run by Louise, a certified Mindset and Life Coach for Mums who struggle with perfectionism and guilt.

She supports her clients to see and release the conditioning and beliefs that are keeping them stuck in coping strategies, and renew their mindset and relationship with themselves so they can confidently be the woman and mother they really want to be.

Louise shines a light on the social conditioning of mothers and how they are undergoing a complete transformation called matrescence. She believes women become more, not less, when they become mothers and that being yourself is the best and most beautiful way to be.

Louise is known for her deep understanding of people, and positive, nurturing style. Her clients say she makes them feel safe from the outset, navigates difficult topics with love and compassion and makes complex ideas easy to understand. Women who work with Louise gain a deep understanding of self, learn to trust and believe in themselves and confidently create the changes they long for in their lives.

The More to Mum website contains many free resources for mothers who are interested in breaking free of the pressure and shoulds to redefine success for themselves and prioritise their wellbeing.

If you live, work or play on Sydney’s North Shore, local parenting website North Shore Mums provides answers, inspiration and ideas about how to raise, entertain and enjoy your children on Sydney’s North Shore.

North Shore Mums started as a Facebook group in May 2012, when Rachel Chappell moved to Sydney’s leafy North Shore with her husband, toddler and new baby. With lots of questions about things like childcare centres, kid-friendly cafes, the best playgrounds and doctors… and only a few local friends to ask, she realised she wouldn’t get the answers from her immediate social circle.

So, on a whim, she created a Facebook group called North Shore Mums, to help her connect with other local mums.

The quick growth of the Facebook group indicated a huge need in the market for information and resources for local mums, so with a background in magazine marketing, Rachel decided to launch her own online business by creating a website.

Just over a year later, she launched the North Shore Mums website to provide a platform where all the common questions and issues could be found in an organised space. The website features articles written by local mums, an up-to-the-minute events guide, a Directory brimming with fabulous local businesses, a Job Board featuring family-friendly roles, as well as special offers and competitions.

North Shore Mums has fundamentally transformed the way local mums connect on Sydney’s North Shore. There was a huge gap in the market for information and support for local mums, and North Shore Mums has filled that need.

Now, with over 100,000 monthly website visitors and 37,000 members of the Facebook group, North Shore Mums has established itself as the premier online destination for local families.
