Exciting ongoing opportunity for doulas, birth workers, nannies, childcare professionals and peer supporters: infant feeding focused mentorship, supervision, ongoing training and moral support
| I’m beyond excited by your interest in participating in my new offering. Talking to some of you, I have learned so much about what a wealth of experience some of you already have and the things you wish for support with. I have learned about a need, a ‘gap in services’ that I would LOVE to fill. My ears are always open to what serves you best. Please read on… |

| Firstly a bit about me: if you don’t know me yet, it may be nice for you to hear a little bit about my background and what qualifies me to teach and support you. Do pop over to THIS PAGE and have a little read. These are just a few snapshots from how I spend my days: as an IBCLC lactation consultant in private practice, supporting mothers individually with their feeding journey, running groups locally, teaching baby massage, parenting my own 2 girls, sometimes speaking at conferences and running stalls at local fayres and events. I have been a La Leche League leader for 11 years now, which is a volunteer breastfeeding counsellor position. My group is thriving and is still very well attended after all these years! |
