Most importantly, we want to remind you:

You’re worthy of care and support.

Ask for what you need.

It’s never too soon / too late to reach for care.

At Juno Specialists we’re right here and ready to support you.

Today we’re sharing some recent podcast episodes featuring Amy and Robynne from our Juno Specialists healthcare team.

We hope you enjoy this opportunity to get to know us better.

Amy O’Brien - Juno Chinese Medicine & Motherhood Studies Practitioner talks about reimagining postpartum care and ways to make the transition to motherhood meaningful and beautiful. She speaks about creating positive change and meeting mothers with the care they have always deserved on the ‘No Place Like Homb’ podcast

IUDs can be used for contraceptive purposes and in the management of pelvic pain and heavy bleeding.

As is standard for Juno, long consultations allow you the time to explore whether an IUD is the right choice for you and your circumstance. And time to address any concerns or questions you may have about the process itself.

Juno GPs providing IUD insertions are sensitive to the many different presentations, experiences and histories that may influence your feelings about IUD or the procedure itself.

Your GP will take the time to fully understand your health history and any factors which may impact your physical or emotional comfort during the procedure.

Our top priority is that you feel safe enough, heard and cared for at all times. Your feelings will be respected, your experience will be taken into account, your voice will be heard.

Your belly is growing. You can feel the change that's unfolding. You know there's a birth story coming to find you, but you don't know when. You know there's a feeding pathway ahead of you, but what that looks like is unknown too.

Breastfeeding support can gather and grow before babe arrives. This is the perfect time to stack the cards in your favour through evidenced based, compassionate breastfeeding education. And we’ve got you covered.

This is the Juno Specialists team.

It’s tempting to look at this photo and see a bunch of gorgeous humans. But it’s the layers that exist behind the perceptible beauty of the photo that flood me with joy.

Let me let you in on what I see. One persons tangible experience of the incredible humans in this photo.

I see the phenomenal women’s health GP I’ve been collaborating with to offer comprehensive care to women living with chronic pelvic pain.

Recently, Juno has been to be a living, breathing example of ‘the hive mind’. A place where thoughts, ideas and treatment principles funnel together in the pursuit of more holistic and elevated outcomes.

A hive mind fosters cohesion and collaboration. Right now, that sense is palpable.

‘What even is this place?’

She looked around. Eyes wide. Jaw released. Naming the very thing we all felt in that moment.

It was the way she looked around.

As though she’d found the entrance to The Secret Garden. As though she’d come through the wardrobe and stumbled straight into Narnia.

 We were co-creating elevated care - in real time. Witnessing how this changes things - in real time.

The Blossoming of Genuine Collaborative Care at Juno.

Five months on from opening Juno, Collaborative Care is beginning to blossom.

This has been the most exciting and heart-warming part of Juno’s unfolding. And a key driver behind Juno’s existence - So that women, mothers and infants are cared for and held across modalities in a genuinely collaborative way.

Here’s what we’re seeing and how it’s making our heart happy.

I’m Dr Josie Bourne. I'm a GP and a mum to 3 little boys. I am a mother of a neurodivergent child. And I'm all about neurodivergent medicine for children and families.

I want to help where I can - with food struggles, medication struggles, family coping strategies and low demand parenting. I bring strategies to minimise trauma of vaccinations. I can assist by connecting you with the right people.

Many wonderful women are having babies in their 40s. This was the case in previous generations, however there is a greater proportion of women having their first child or many of their children, beyond the age of 40.

We’re keen to share more with you about Melbourne’s very own Juno Breastfeeding Day Stay.

Iron supplementation choice and treatment for iron deficiency. Five tips by Dr Nicole Gale to consider before deciding what supplement is best for you.

Where to start when you have pain and what might be helpful.

It might have started as a niggle and gradually increased. Or you might have been told it’s ‘normal’. Let us just state here and now - if you have pain that is bothering you or affecting your life… It is not normal.

Be it pain, illness or simply the maintenance of health, the equilibrium between top down and bottom up approaches are integral.

So what does that even mean?

Shared Maternity Care is a pregnancy care option where medical care is shared between a public maternity hospital and an accredited GP, midwife or obstetrician.

In Shared Maternity Care, the majority of pregnancy visits take place with your Shared Care GP.

Juno is going to change the game. We know this because Juno has already changed us.

We honour your needs and your humanity as a person that exists outside the role of mother / feeder.

Creating a feeding plan that fosters your own wellbeing is essential. Breastfeeding success must be built on a foundation of maternal thriving.
