About Me
Hi, I’m Clarinda, a registered nurse, a mum of two and a proud Aboriginal women with over 17 years’ experience, and the founder of
Parenting Made Simple.
Throughout my career, I’ve walked alongside thousands of families through some of the most vulnerable and transformative moments of their lives, from birth, to the early days at home, and through the joys and challenges of the first five years. My background includes neonatal intensive care, emergency, Aboriginal child and family health, and postgrad qualifications in child and family health nursing.
But my passion runs deeper than clinical care. After navigating motherhood myself (hello, sleepless nights and second-guessing everything!), I realised just how much support parents actually need, not just in the hospital, but beyond. That’s why I created Parenting Made Simple: to be the village so many families are missing.
I offer holistic, practical, and deeply supportive programs, including tailored sleep support and a comprehensive parenting course that removes the guesswork and builds confidence at every stage. My approach is evidence-based, gentle, and rooted in connection, because parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone.
Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating the newborn fog, or wrangling toddler tantrums, I'm here to walk alongside you with real-life strategies, expert advice, and the encouragement you need to thrive.
OUR GOAL / MISSION
Clarinda Leanne – Child & Family Health Nurse & Coach is a trusted evidence-based parenting education and support brand that is committed to helping parents confidently navigate pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood development. We do this by offering structured programs, expert-led education, and a nurturing community covering topics such as infant sleep, emotional regulation, postpartum recovery, feeding challenges, child behavior, and holistic parenting.
Our goal is to provide parents with the knowledge and support they need to raise emotionally, mentally, and physically healthy children so that they can create a strong, secure, and thriving family environment. We aim to transform modern parenting by replacing misinformation and overwhelm with science-backed, easily digestible, and highly practical guidance.
We are dedicated to shifting how parents access professional parenting support so they can feel confident, informed, and supported in raising their children without relying on outdated or unreliable sources.
Our Vision
Our vision is to revolutionize the way parents receive expert parenting guidance and to help every parent feel fully supported and prepared through their pregnancy, postpartum, and early childhood journey. The parenting and child development space is rapidly evolving as more parents recognise the need for expert-backed, holistic, and community-driven support. Many of these parents desire evidence-based parenting solutions but lack access to structured, professional guidance outside of social media, mainstream settings where wait times can be lengthy or hard to get to and unreliable sources.
We strive to help parents develop the knowledge, confidence, and support systems they need to navigate parenting with clarity, peace, and emotional security. Through structured programs and community support, we empower parents with science-backed education on infant sleep, child behaviour, and postpartum well-being, ensuring they feel equipped and confident in their parenting choices. By 2034, we aim to launch an all-in-one parenting app that provides expert-led guidance on pregnancy, postpartum care, child behavior, and emotional regulation, making professional support more accessible than ever before.
We are committed to securing government funding and partnerships to expand the reach of evidence-based parenting education, ensuring that more families, regardless of background or location have access to the guidance they deserve. Additionally, our work is charity-driven, from every sale a donation will be made to the Miracle Babies Foundation, supporting premature infants in neonatal intensive care. As we grow, we aim to increase our contributions and charitable impact, helping more families and newborns thrive
