Monday’s Mum Profiles

Hi my name is Lindsay Batstone, i’m originally from Scotland. I moved to Australia for 6 months initially (which is the usual story) then met my beautiful husband at work.

My name is Elise, I was born in France and my passion for travel and adventure led me to move to Australia 17 years ago with my then boyfriend, now husband, also French. Together we have a 6-year-old daughter who loves to make fun of our accent! Motherhood was the catalyst for me to start living more intentionally, to make choices that feel better aligned with what’s most important in this phase of my life. After 12 years working in corporate, I decided to change careers shortly after the birth of my daughter in order to support women’s wellbeing and…
