Why parents choose me&my wellness
Practical support that fits around family life.
Body and mind together
Food, sleep and movement affect mood, energy and how you handle stress, so they’re part of your plan alongside practical mindset tools.
Small, realistic steps
Changes that fit school runs, broken sleep and busy weeks, not another impossible to-do list.
Works alongside your care team
Anthony is happy to work alongside your GP, psychologist or counsellor, and will tell you if extra support would help.
Running on empty?
You’re keeping everyone else going, but you’re snapping more, sleeping less and living on coffee and leftovers. Most parents know they need to look after themselves. The hard part is finding what actually works in a full week.
Parent stress often has several drivers working together, such as:
- broken or short sleep
- skipped meals, blood sugar swings and too much caffeine
- a constant mental load with no recovery time
- little movement or time outdoors
- stress habits like perfectionism or always putting yourself last
- nutrient gaps, such as low iron or vitamin D, that can show up in bloodwork
Small changes in the right places can make a real difference.
Who we help
- Mums and dads feeling stressed, irritable or overwhelmed
- New parents, and parents returning to work, adjusting to a new routine
- Parents juggling work, kids and caring for ageing parents
- Parents running on low energy and poor sleep
- Anyone wanting calmer mornings and evenings at home
- Families who want to build healthier habits together
If you’re experiencing symptoms of postnatal depression or anxiety, please also speak with your GP or call PANDA on 1300 726 306.

Parent support FAQs
Is this the same as seeing a psychologist?
No. This is personalised coaching that combines nutrition, lifestyle medicine and practical mindset tools. It doesn’t diagnose or treat mental illness. You can use it alongside support from your GP, psychologist or counsellor, and Anthony is happy to work with them.
Can nutrition and lifestyle really help with stress?
They’re an important part of the picture. Sleep, regular meals, caffeine, movement and nutrient levels all affect energy, mood and how well you cope with pressure. Small, targeted changes often make the rest of life feel more manageable.
