Parent Stories

To celebrate families, we're sharing parent stories—real mums and dads sharing their journeys, challenges, and struggles to remind all parents they’re not alone. It's OK to ask for help, and Karitane is here to support you.

Adjusting to Parenting
The first year of motherhood felt like survival mode — I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and kept wondering if something was wrong with me. Karitane gave me the reassurance, mental health support, and practical help I needed.
Adjusting to Parenting
Karitane helped my baby go from waking every 45 minutes to sleeping independently for 12 hours straight. Now that he’s more settled and sleeping well, I’m rested too and able to give him 100 per cent of myself each day.
Adjusting to Parenting
Becoming a mum was really hard. Karitane helped me feel supported on my parenting journey.
