Monday’s Local Mum, Lexi Ravenscroft

My name is Lexi. I am a mum to my beautiful three year old daughter and part-time mum to another two lovely girls. Life can be a bit crazy with a teen, tween and toddler but I find taking time out to exercise and having a healthy body and mind are vital in order to keep my sanity and be a better person for my family and myself.  I am also a Pilates instructor at the new and exciting Nuforma Pilates studio in Bondi Junction. I’ve been teaching now for 16 years and love what I do, having taught pilates and…

Monday’s Local Mum, Chloe Noble

Hi, I’m Chloe, a mother to two and recently certified Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner. In my former life, I worked as a TV producer making ads for TV but since having kids I’ve become a full-time mum and have found a deep passion in the birth space and in particular childbirth education. I have a deep trust in women’s ability to birth and believe that it is instinctive and doesn’t need to be taught, however, I believe that education is empowering and a positive birth experience can set women up for a positive and enriching postpartum period. I’m excited to be…
