Jo Lloyd is the founder of mumabuba and has spent the last 20 years supporting women and babies through conception, pregnancy, birth, postnatally and breastfeeding. Her unique approach to support uses a combination of multiple therapies, including reflexology, bodywork, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Shiatsu and pre & perinatal somatic psychology, as well as her deep knowledge of lactation and breastfeeding, drawing on these different modalities to tailor the support to what the mother and baby needs.
Jo is also the co-founder (with her husband) of the recently launched echos of birth community, a digital online community that brings together parents, birthing professionals and other pre and perinatal professionals around the common mission of transforming the way we support and experience birth in Australia and New Zealand through understanding implicit birth memories.
The community is a fantastic blend of curated educational resources, mentoring and support to integrate new knowledge and skills into practice, on-line community meet-ups, knowledge sharing, regular articles and discussion topics and access to some of the leading experts from across the world.
Jo is originally from the UK, she moved to Australia in 2009 and is now based in North Queensland. She is a mother to 3 children (aged 19, 15 and 6). She is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and has held the roles of counsellor, community educator, trainer, assessor and assistant branch training manager for the Australian Breastfeeding Association. She has supported the Australian College of Midwives as a committee member and consumer reviewer of the Midwifery Practice Review and through the development of several online training courses as a member of the Professional Development Committee. She is a Certified Educator and Trainer with Childbirth And Parenting Educators of Australia (CAPEA) and has presented at numerous conferences.
