Your qualified Breastfeeding Counsellor, and Lactation Consultant in training on the IBCLC pathway. Based near Seaham in County Durham, I support women and families across the North East to feel prepared and confident for their new arrival. From pregnancy into early motherhood and up to natural term weaning, my experience and ongoing training can support you with the latest evidence-based advice to get your breastfeeding journey on track.

Newborn and Older Baby Breastfeeding Support

I serve a one hour radius of Seaham (SR7) and also support families across the UK via my virtual breastfeeding services. I now offer week-to-week Whatsapp support packages to hold you through the first weeks of newborn life. You will benefit from continuous care and a positive start to your breastfeeding journey, with space held for you to ask all your unanswered questions. You can check out the full details here.

Antenatal Breastfeeding Education

I offer bite-size breastfeeding education sessions to prepare you for your very first feed and beyond. Together we’ll explore the many factors that go into a successful breastfeeding journey, from birth physiology, informed decision-making, postnatal recovery planning, newborn care, partner involvement, attachment parenting and initiating breastfeeding in every birth scenario. You’ll be equipped with the latest evidence-based knowledge, practical skills and a clear, personalised plan to be in control of your birth. I am also fully insured to support your first breastfeed in hospital, should you wish to book my 1:1 services.
