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
-
Reflux
-
Allergies including cow’s milk protein allergy
-
Expressing or being away from baby
-

​
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.
