How I Can Help
Antenatal Breastfeeding Preparation
Get ahead with confidence-building sessions before your baby arrives. We'll discuss what to expect, positioning techniques, early feeding cues, and creating a supportive environment. Perfect for first-time parents or those who've faced challenges previously.
Initial Consultations
Comprehensive assessments available both in-person and online to suit your comfort and circumstances. I'll observe a full feeding session, assess your baby's latch and positioning, review your feeding history, and create a personalised care plan together.
Follow-Up Sessions
Continued support as your situation evolves. These sessions allow us to monitor progress, adjust strategies, address new concerns, and celebrate your successes. Flexible scheduling ensures you have support when you need it most.
Feeding Challenges Support
Targeted help for specific concerns including painful latching, low milk supply, oversupply management, expressing and pumping guidance, bottle introduction, and feeding refusal. No challenge is too small or too complex.
Tongue-Tie Guidance
If indicated, oral assessment and support for tongue-tie concerns. I'll help you understand the impact, explore feeding strategies, connect you with appropriate specialists if needed, and support you through any treatment and recovery process.
Formula-Inclusive Support
Combination feeding, exclusive formula feeding and transitioning support provided without judgement. I believe all feeding choices deserve expert guidance, whether you're supplementing, weaning, or choosing formula from the start.

Understanding Tongue-Tie
What Is Tongue-Tie?
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too tight or short, potentially restricting tongue movement. This can affect feeding, though not all tongue-ties cause problems.
How I Can Help
I'll assess whether a tongue-tie could be impacting feeding, demonstrate positions and techniques that may improve the situation, signpost to local tongue tie practitioners, and support you through decision-making and any procedures.
