Welcome!
If you support families who are preparing for the Birth of a new infant, or with the care of a young baby then this is the RIGHT PLACE for you.
I run a successful private practice supporting families with Infant Feeding and all things Fourth Trimester, with a special interest in low weight gain and Tongue-tie in babies.
I created this programme because I feel the time is right to ensure this knowledge is imparted to individuals like you, who really care and can make a truly positive impact on Infant feeding outcomes and positive transitions into family life.
As a registered midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I have supported thousands of families to birth and feed their babies and mentored numerous students to do the same.
My one-to-one practice continues alongside providing innovative and exciting evidence-based and truly baby and family-friendly training for other Perinatal Professionals.
I have been a Teacher and Facilitator for many years and I feel passionate about training Birth workers and those in a position to positively influence Birth and Infant Feeding outcomes for the families that they serve.
