Nesting Parties

Get ready to feel organised and nurtured before meeting your little one.

Let’s get you feeling prepared for your fourth trimester.

Experienced Postpartum Doula’s, Cass and Molly will spend 4 hours in your home, lightening the physical and mental load while you rest and recharge. Enjoy time for self-care — a relaxing bath, gentle debrief, or even a booked massage — as we prepare your space and support your transition into postpartum.

We’ll bring everything you need: your Nest List, Rest List, recipes, shopping list, and resources to guide you through the fourth trimester.

Invite your inner circle, the perfect way to gather your village. A Nesting Party is also the perfect gift to an expecting family.

Let’s get this party started!

Who is this for

For expecting parents entering their third trimester, we recommend between 30 and 36 weeks, wanting to invest in setting themselves up for a supportive postpartum. Wether this is your first baby or fifth, a Nesting Party will have you feeling totally prepared and ready to welcome a baby, knowing you have layers of support and organisation in place.

Nesting Parties are held within 1 hour of Greensborough, in your home.

You decide on how intimate you would like your Nesting Party, whether it is solo with Molly and Cass, or with your closest friends — we will make sure it is productive and equally calm.

What’s included

We’ll handle the practical jobs, stocking your freezer with nourishing meals, setting up the nursery, clearing cupboards, general cleaning and creating your breastfeeding and postpartum sanctuary (the list is endless!) — so you can rest and focus on preparing to enter the birth portal and your postpartum.

While we work through your list, you can take a breather. We can run you a herbal bath, book you a massage, or simply relax knowing it’s all getting done. You’re welcome to jump in alongside us if you’d like — or put your feet up and let us take care of it.

We will work through a customised plan to meet your needs – identifying your priorities, your favourite recipes and your self-care rituals, so that you feel totally comfortable that when we arrive, we can get to work.

We’ll bring the vibe with a curated playlist, calm energy, and everything needed to get things sorted.

Want to make it a group effort?

Invite your closest friends or family to join the Nesting Party. We’ll organise the communication, coordinate the tasks, and make sure everyone knows how to help — think productive, feel-good village vibes.

A tailored Nest List of tasks to tick off
All communications to guests attending (helping), including invites and task lists

Molly and Cass are unreal! The Nest and Rest that they created for me was just what I needed to head into my postpartum period with my second baby.

As soon as Molly and Cass entered my house there was instant calm. With coffee, flowers, freshly baked sourdough and Twix Slice in hand it was as if they were old friends who knew their way around my home already. Cass created some amazing nutritious meals while Molly assisted in the organising of the nursery. The time both women took with my son in ensuring he felt included was adorable and helped me feel even more at ease. The uninterrupted time with Luke in the sunshine in our backyard before his nap was priceless. Little did I know, the best was yet to come. While I tucked into some avo toast for lunch Molly ran a beautiful bath for me which allowed me to just reflect on the morning I’d had with these incredible women, as well as how thankful I was that I’d decided to help myself in my postpartum.

The Nest and Rest is the best way to help yourself and I am so thankful for these two amazing women. My chosen village in my motherhood and postpartum journey 💛”
