Confidence in Breastfeeding Starts Here

Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed your baby or supporting others through their journey, you’re in the right place.

Two powerful courses. One mission: to bring clarity, confidence, and calm to breastfeeding.

When no one is teaching the basics—and everyone is paying the price.

I’m Katie James—Registered Midwife, IBCLC, educator, podcast host and advocate for informed, compassionate care.

For years, I sat beside mothers who looked me in the eyes with fear, frustration, and heartbreak.

“Why didn’t anyone tell me it would feel like this?”

“Why didn’t they check the latch earlier?”

“Why is my body not making enough milk for my baby.”

These weren’t just anxious new parents. These were women who had been misinformed, overlooked, and left to doubt their bodies.

They were doing everything they could—yet still wondering if they were failing.

I saw this too often so I created The Feeding Couch: breastfeeding education that soothes your nervous system, not overloads it.

Created for pregnancy, designed to hold you through postpartum.
Rooted in science, wrapped in softness

Because you don’t need more pressure.
You need someone to say:

“You’re doing great. You’re not broken. Let’s take this one step at a time.”

I created a course that gives mothers what they truly need: calm, clarity, and confidence—before the overwhelm sets in.

When birth workers don’t get the training they deserve—everyone feels it.

At the same time, I was mentoring midwives, breastfeeding peer supporters, neonatal nurses and birth professionals—passionate, intelligent people who were turning up every day with quiet embarrassment.

“What do I do with those sleepy babies?”

“I freeze when they ask me about sore nipples”

“I feel out of my depth when they’re struggling”

I kept seeing the same gap: the fundamentals of how we make milk were missing from their training. And yet they were expected to know the answers.

I created a course specific for birth workers—one that bridges that gap, grounds you in evidence, and gives you the confidence to support mums, babies and new parents with clarity and compassion.

Because when professionals feel confident, the care they give transforms.

You don’t need to do this alone.

Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed, or you’re a midwife, doula, or birth worker trying to support others—you deserve support that actually works.

That’s why I offer more than just courses. I host live Q&As, share real stories, created podcasts and provide free downloads and tools to help you feel grounded and empowered.
