Fearless Mums & Bubs
Leah Kershaw
Hi, I’m Leah – Founder of Fearless Mums & Bubs + Events. Originally from the Gold Coast, I’ve called Gladstone home for the past 8 years. With over a decade of experience in the events industry, everything changed when I became a mum in 2021. I craved connection, support, and a safe space - so Fearless Mums & Bubs + Events was born.
What started small, quickly grew into a vibrant community group where friendships flourished, connections were made and every parent felt included.
Now, as a proud mum to my two beautiful girls, Ivy and Lucy, I bring both my professional experience and personal journey into creating meaningful moments for families across Gladstone. Let’s grow together!

Confident Beginnings
Elizabeth Purnell-Webb
Hi, I’m Liz – Founder of Confident Beginnings. With over 30 years of experience in the maternity industry, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families around the world through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.
My journey has taken me across continents, studying and practicing in diverse settings, and each experience has shaped the way I support families today. Through Confident Beginnings, I offer fertility information, childbirth education for couples, baby massage and reflexology, and baby movement and exercise—all designed to help parents feel calm, confident, and connected.
Whether you're preparing to welcome your little one or navigating those early months, I’m here to guide you with care, knowledge, and a whole lot of heart.
