The face behind
The Nesting Mama
Hi, I’m Sandy!
As a mama of two girls, I know firsthand how busy and overwhelming life can feel when the to-do list never ends. I’ve always been the one in my circle of friends who organises the holidays, coordinates the group presents, and is the go-to for design advice. I love renovating, styling, and I’ll happily deal with trades without blinking an eye.
That’s why I created The Nesting Mama - to bring those same skills into a boutique concierge service for busy families and business owners. From life admin and travel planning to gift sourcing, scheduling, and online organising, I take care of the details that quietly eat up your time.
My goal is simple: to lift the mental load, create more ease, and give you back the freedom to enjoy what matters most.
I look forward to helping you!
Where did the idea for “The Nesting Mama” come from?
I’ve always had a passion for design and beautiful homes. I studied both Building Design and Interior Design and spent over 10 years as an Architectural Draftsperson for one of Australia’s leading builders, as well as running my own 3D Architectural Rendering business.
When I became a mum, everything shifted. Having a toddler and a baby at home while working meant I had to create systems that kept our lives running smoothly. During my pregnancies, I suffered from severe morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum), which made even simple daily tasks impossible.
I wanted to nest and create order, but I physically couldn’t — and that struggle planted the first seed for The Nesting Mama. I realised how powerful it is to have someone take the load off when you can’t do it all yourself.
That passion, combined with my love of design, organisation, and renovating (yes, I was already renovating my first home at 22 — much to hubby’s delight!), evolved into what The Nesting Mama is today: a way to support busy families and business owners with the same care, detail, and creativity I’ve always brought into my own life.
