Meet Elena 

A Mental Health and Relationship Expert.

Hello, I’m Elena,

and I'm delighted that you've found your way to Mentally Strong Mums.

This platform was born out of my passion for helping mothers like you unlock their inner strength and resilience. When I embarked on my own motherhood journey, I encountered moments of self-doubt, stress, and the perpetual quest for balance.

My experience as a mother and my extensive background in mental health, including Psychology and Social Work, have inspired me to create a space where mothers can find the guidance, support, and tools they need to not just survive but to truly thrive. Here, we'll explore strategies, engage in open dialogues, and build a community that uplifts and empowers. I'm here to be your partner in this journey towards stronger mental well-being and the joys of motherhood.

I own my Private Practice in Brisbane to support mothers and relationship counseling. I have constantly found that trauma has a huge impact on our own well-being and self-worth. So I am qualified in different modalities to resolve trauma such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Psychotherapy as well as the traditional psychological therapies.

My Commitment to You

My commitment is simple: to empower you.

I provide the tools, knowledge, and unwavering support you need to become the mentally strong, confident mum you want to be. But in an easy to understand format so you can see the bigger picture. As a Social Worker, I know you are not a problem to be fixed. But you are a product of your environment, essentially responding to what is happening around you and how you made sense of the world. You may not have had a choice about what has happened to you, but you can choose if it will define you – or motivate you.

Mission and Purpose

At Mentally Strong Mums, my mission is clear: to create a supportive and inclusive community where mothers from all walks of life can come together to prioritise their mental well-being. Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it can be emotionally and mentally challenging. My purpose is to be your therapist in your pocket, providing you with the knowledge, support, and resources to navigate the ups and downs with grace and confidence.

I firmly believe that when mothers are mentally strong, they not only enhance their own well-being but also create a positive ripple effect throughout their families and communities. Together, we'll explore techniques, strategies, and insights that will help you embrace motherhood with resilience and joy. My ultimate goal is to get society to see and acknowledge the importance of mothers, and if you support the mother – you support the next generation.

My Story

As a mother of 3 young boys, I have a lived experience of Post Natal Depression and Anxiety as well as Post Natal Psychosis. Lack of sleep, sensory needs baby, ‘accidental’ baby on the way, study and hubby business admin, all trying to make it week to week, and I felt like I was drowning. Every day. Even when I reached out for help and tried to be brave and speak up (I was whinging or feeling like an inconvenience) it was lost on deaf ears and I felt so alone with my boys. Now there were four of us in a one-bedroom granny flat. Add that to a traumatic birth, lactose intolerant babies, and no sleep – I felt this was the worst experience of my life. I had made a big mistake.

After spending years of digging myself out of my ‘mental hole’ I made a promise about this injustice I felt that no other mother should ever feel this way. That I need to do something. To give access to all mothers the information I wish I knew 20 years ago – anxiety, depression, healthy relationships, healing trauma... so here I am.

Thank you for listening.

The Power of Resilience and Positive Parenting:

Evidence from Australia

In Australia, numerous studies and longitudinal research have shed light on the profound impact of a mother's emotional well-being and her parenting strategies on her child's development. Here are some compelling statistics and evidence that highlight the significance of our mission:

1. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Scores:

  • ACE scores are linked to a range of health and social issues, including mental health challenges and negative life outcomes.
  • Research shows that mothers who have experienced ACEs and don't receive support are more likely to pass on adversity to their children.

2. Intergenerational Effects:

  • Longitudinal studies reveal that children of mothers who receive emotional support and training in positive parenting are more likely to have improved mental health outcomes.
  • These children exhibit increased self-esteem, reduced stress, and a greater capacity for resilience.

Preventing Negative Outcomes, Fostering Secure Attachment:
