about
jess has always had a strong love for a cup of something; a coffee, a tea or hot chocolate but this simple habit spiralled to multiple-coffees-a-day in the depths of postpartum... which is eventually, not an uplifting habit at all.
in becoming more conscious of her caffeine intake, she discovered many of her friends and colleagues were dabbling in the same search for alternatives that hit the spot.
she started sharing her matcha and hot chocolate recipes and in that moment, the seed for Motherlode was planted... now it’s here for all to enjoy.
with a foundational belief in the potency of food as medicine for both the body and mind, Jess weaves this tenet seamlessly into her life and work; providing practical nourishment and realistic wellbeing suggestions for friends, family or clients is a natural extension.
jess has a “motherlode” of experience in the wellness industry; working as a nutritionist, as well as for some of Australia’s top wellness brands. most recently she has been working as a birth and postpartum doula, as well as being a mum to two boys.
motherlode is your hot drink habit, reimagined. now, you can have it all - the pep, the elevation, the get up and go, while also mellowing your mood, soothing your soul and filling your cup (literally).
at motherlode we believe success is a calm nervous system. all too often your sacred cosy cup doesn't deliver the vibes you really need and you end up with a haywire nervous system, imbalanced hormones and a confused appetite.
our range of instant lattes help you look after yourself from that first cup of the day onwards: instead of mindlessly guzzling coffees to get you through. we make being more considered with your caffeine easy.
motherlode comes in convenient single serve sachets which mean you get the perfect portion everytime, everywhere!(*everywhere you can boil a kettle).
following the sleeplessness of postpartum, motherlode founder, Jess was in the grip of a troublesome multi-coffees-a-day habit. she literally went to bed dreaming of the stuff. after several years postpartum, she was still riding a rollercoaster of hormones manifesting in low energy, a foggy head, mood fluctuations, anxiety and overwhelm.
after working with a naturopath she discovered her adrenals were empty, smashed, exhausted (coffee triggers cortisol which is released from your adrenals) plus her iron was super low (tannins in coffee and tea block the absorption of iron), she knew needed to smarten up and shift her habit to something more supportive.
motherlode is not just another cup of coffee. we are about developing greater awareness of self; an understanding of your nervous system; tuning into what you need to keep it in flow; to operate from a place of calm and clarity.
