About Me

I am a International Board certified Lactation Consultant IBCLC with over 10 years in supporting families to meet their infant feeding goals. I have both experience on a busy London maternity unit as well as community based experience within a busy health visiting team and have a depth of experience supporting new families through phases and stages of feeding. 

​

Becoming a parent is one of the most wonderful adventures that you will ever undertake. But it can also a time of challenge and personal growth. I have extensive experience in supporting families as they grow and enabling this to be a positive experience for all the family. 

 

Whatever your experiences so far, I can offer support and evidence based information to aid your confidence in your choices as a parent. 

​

Some common themes I am confident supporting are:

​

• Challenges with positioning and attachment – poor latch or breast refusal

• Current lack of professional support to enable a good start to breastfeeding

• Sore nipples

• Breastfeeding during the early weeks: baby weight loss; slow weight gain

• Insufficient milk supply or ‘oversupply’ 

• Mastitis 

• Thrush

• Baby fussing at the breast

• Tongue-tie diagnosis

• Reflux

• Allergies including cow’s milk protein allergy

• Expressing or being away from baby

• Weight reviews and support around slow weight gain

• Breastfeeding Multiples   

• Safe Sleep 

• Co-nursing or Chest Feeding

• Sore or Damaged Nipples   

• Flat Nipples 

• Breast Reduction    

• Breast Enlargement

​

I have undertaken extensive training and experience in the detection, referral and aftercare of babies with tongue tie. I have my own insurance and carry an up to date enhanced DBS.

​

My mission is to empower you to reach your infant feeding goals and breastfeed and/or express for your baby for as long as you want to, with confidence and ease. All services are tailored to meet the individual needs of the families I work with.

​

Over many years I have supported thousands of families to meet their breastfeeding goals and feel it is a real privilege to be a part of each journey.
