• One-to-One Infant Feeding/lactation Consultations (Contact Directly)

My aim is to offer mothers practical guidance and emotional support in a non-judgemental and compassionate way to help them reach their breastfeeding goals.

I have supported hundreds of women with breastfeeding challenges such as painful feeds, engorgement, mastitis, issues with supply (too much or too little milk), concerns with slow or static weight gain, expressing, managing feeds pre & post a tongue tie division, breast refusal, feeding with nipple shields, mixed feeding, bonding between mother and baby, weaning off the breast, complementing weaning with breastfeeding and returning to work.

Often talking through the birth experience can unlock the answer to a feeding problem and I am comfortable engaging in these more in-depth conversations. My understanding of your experience comes from a personal place, having struggled to breastfeed my first child after a long and difficult birth. Prior to supporting mothers with breastfeeding, I worked for many years as a person-centred counsellor which informs my lactation practice.

I am an IBCLC and a member of the LCGB. I trained with the Breastfeeding Network in 2005 and have been supporting mothers through the charity for over 15 years. I work in NHS hospitals such as UCLH, the Whittington and the Royal Free. I run community breastfeeding drop-ins and clinics and do home visits. I keep abreast of current research and attend many relevant study days and conferences.
