Liz Mercer 

Endorsed Midwife, Founder of Blossoming Bump, the Boutique & Founder / Co-owner of Little Play Town Mandurah

Hi everyone! I’m Liz, the proud mom of four, a Clinical Midwife at Peel Health Campus, and an Endorsed Midwife. I’m thrilled to be the founder and creator of Blossoming Bump, Blossoming Bump Boutique, and the co-founder and director of Little Playtown Mandurah.

My journey began in a bustling UK hospital that delivered over 9,000 babies a year. I’ve worked in every area of midwifery, from high-risk tertiary care to low-risk home births. Each of my pregnancies and births was unique, starting with my twin pregnancy that inspired me to pursue midwifery.

My last birth was a home birth with my daughter Emily. Feeling empowered and well-informed, I successfully had a vaginal birth after two C-sections. This experience deepened my love for pregnancy education.

Blossoming Bump was born in early 2021 to provide fun, informative, evidence-based childbirth education in the Peel region. The positive feedback from expectant parents inspired me to expand our services, shaping Blossoming Bump & Beyond into the vibrant community it is today!

Leah Smith - Teacher, Co-owner of The Boutique & Founder / Co- Owner of Little Play Town Mandurah

Hello! I’m Leah, mum to a wonderful little girl, a teacher, co- director of Blossoming Bump Boutique and the co-founder and director of Little Playtown Mandurah.

Originally from England, but I now get to call this beautiful country home. I’ve been a Health and PE teacher since 2017 and became a head of department in 2022. Teaching has always been a passion, but motherhood introduced a new love: being the best mom and version of myself for my daughter.

My pregnancy journey with Liz at Blossoming Bump was incredible. Through her care, I not only had the best midwife but also found a dear friend and now, business partner. People might call us crazy, but we are two determined, like-minded mums who want the best for our children and families.

Welcome to our wonderful businesses! We’re here to support you every step of the way.
