Kind Words From Families & Professionals

A little of what people have shared about learning and working with me.

PARENT EDUCATION

Nadia - First Time Mum

“It validated how I was feeling in that moment and also gave practical tools to overcome the challenges we were experiencing. We did lots of skin to skin, got back on track with baby's weight gain and were able to stop triple feeding not long after. Still breastfeeding at 14 months now :)”

 

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Andrea - Heath Visitor

“I have really enjoyed this course. I have enjoyed it so much that it ate well into my PJ time! That is the highest compliment. :-) I learned a lot, I reflected (and continue to) on my own practice and how to use this learning to enhance approaches in my care. It was so good listening to the amazing science behind breastfeeding but also so important to have the woman (and baby) at the absolute centre. Every health professional should do this course to increase knowledge, self awareness and priorities towards those under our care."

LACTATION CONSULTATIONS

Nadine- Second Time Mum

“Your support was an important source of strength and reassurance for me amid all the conflicting opinions and questions. 

You made my heart's desire to breastfeed possible – for that I am eternally grateful to you.

Your experience and knowledge are invaluable, and your sensitive nature is the icing on the cake!"
