about us
Nascent Wellness in Coorparoo has been created by our young family, for young families. Couple PJ & Mauricio birthed their first baby into the beginning of the Covid pandemic in 2020 and navigated new parenthood wishing for something a little more. With nearly all face-to-face training, workshops and classes for pregnancy and postpartum, they missed out on many of the things they had hoped for in this brand new world. In welcoming their new one they hoped for more connection, more health, more friendship and more evidenced based care. Through many conversations over many years they decided to branch out and form Nascent - a way to bring Brisbane's best prenatal, postnatal and child health specialists together in a way that provides true support.
Throughout their careers both have specialised in yoga, wellness, events and fostering connection. Find out more about them below.

With her physiotherapist partner Mauricio Bara she then founded Articulate Physiotherapy in 2019 and through both businesses developed a love and passion for working with women and families in the pre and postnatal period.

She truly understands the juggle of motherhood and career, especially after navigating a newborn and a pandemic simultaneously. She is also a proud stepmother to a beautiful little girl, and loves seeing the sibling bond develop between her two children.
