Informative Market Set up
This will be our space to showcase local services and businesses that support women on their motherhood journey. Think about attending a farmers market but all the stalls are pregnancy related!
These sites will be open during the break times of conference allowing attendees to walk between them and chat to the fabulous local businesses and what they can offer you to help with a better pregnancy and postpartum.

About Your Host Ann Wolki and Wolki Farm
Ann Wolki is a mother to 3 young children, Otto aged 6, Theodore 3 and Esmerelda 1. She and her Husband Jake run Wolki Farm a mixed Regenerative Farm with cows, pigs, sheep, bees + orchard. We ship our meat and other farm products all over Australia.
Ann has been a passionate cook from the age of 12 and worked long term in hospitality managing the paddock to plate cafe as well as cheffing in the kitchen. She has always been interested in a healthy lifestyle and food and has gone on her own health journey over the years to realise what actually is healthy.
Navigating her own motherhood journey and also observing her friends, she has seen the massive need for events like this. Too many women are experiencing birth trauma or complicated pregnancies and postpartum that could have been avoided or drastically reduced. Through education and empowerment we can help women have a better outcome.
