hi, I'm Tati! FTF and I have grown up together: when the first texts started, I was a NICU nurse answering questions between shifts. since then, I've become a paediatric nurse practitioner in acute care, earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice, and gained endorsement as a nurse practitioner here in Australia. every step widened what I can walk through your door with. I can now assess your baby at home, refer & prescribe when it's appropriate, and provide care that attracts Medicare rebates. the friend on the other end of the phone got more qualified; the friendship part never changed.

I work with families who left the hospital with more questions than answers. parents who've been given six different opinions on the same problem and just want a straight answer from someone they trust. NICU graduates finding their feet at home. and plenty of families where nothing is "wrong" but they just don't want to do this alone.

in practice, that looks like growth and weight tracking, feeding plans that evolve with your baby, sleep rhythms that fit their age, and newborn assessments at home including your baby's Blue Book checks, ticked off in your living room instead of a waiting room. the everyday things that matter just as much: bath confidence, getting out of the house, and hearing "this is normal, you're doing well" from someone qualified to say it. and when an extra set of hands would help, I refer early to the right specialist: IBCLC, physio, or osteo.

I'm also a mom of two, so alongside the clinical training you get the lived experience. I've been on both sides of the broken sleep, and I practise the way I wish I were cared for postpartum: judgment-free, evidence-based, and never rushed. my CV is available on request.
