Breastfeeding is natural, but it doesn’t always come easily. As an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I offer personalised support for various breastfeeding challenges, including latch issues, painful nursing, and milk supply concerns. My goal is to help you feel confident and supported in your feeding journey. I provide prenatal breastfeeding education, assistance with positioning, latch, managing milk supply, pumping, and solutions for issues like tongue-tie, nipple pain, and engorgement. I also create tailored plans for breastfeeding after cesarean births or challenging experiences, as well as support for tandem and extended breastfeeding. I offer in-home visits, clinic appointments, and virtual consultations to meet your needs.
Preparation for birth is about more than knowing what to expect—it's about feeling empowered, confident, and knowing you always have choices. My antenatal education sessions provide the information you need to make informed decisions and embrace your birthing experience. I offer personalised 1:1 classes on labor signs, stages of labor, pain relief options, and postpartum recovery, incorporating hypnobirthing techniques to reduce fear, boost confidence, and encourage a positive mindset, whether you're planning for a vaginal birth or preparing for a cesarean. These sessions also cover breathing, visualisation, relaxation techniques, personalised birth plans, labor tips, and newborn care guidance.
Every birth journey is unique, and sometimes the experience doesn't match your expectations, leaving behind lingering emotions or questions. My birth reflection services provide a compassionate space for you to process your birth story, whether you faced a difficult labor, unexpected interventions, or simply seek closure. In these supportive, non-judgmental sessions, we explore any trauma, disappointment, or unresolved emotions, helping you reframe your experience, promote healing, and find peace. These sessions are especially helpful for parents planning another pregnancy, addressing fears or concerns before future births.
