Meet Maddison
Dr Maddison Bastian is a registered Osteopath, Pilates instructor, and mum to 3 young kids. She has always loved supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum, and her passion for this grew deeply through her own experience with her children. She takes a holistic approach to working with women and loves to support the body’s natural physiology, allowing it to function as it is intended to.
Maddison has a particular interest in supporting women to prepare for physiological birth, particularly those wanting a VBAC!
Why We Exist
Moving Into Motherhood was founded by Dr Maddison Bastian (Osteopath) following her own experiences of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. While Maddison was always interested in providing osteopathic care for women through pregnancy and postpartum, her own experiences with maternity care inspired her to create something that would fill a gap in standard public maternity care and provide better care for women.
At MIM we see the importance of continuity of care – the ability for women to have an ongoing trusted healthcare provider who is on their side. In addition to this, we believe that osteopathic treatment, movement, and education are three of the most important strategies to promote a comfortable pregnancy, a smoother birth experience, and a supported postpartum period.
Our goal is to be a source of physical, mental and emotional support as you move into motherhood.
