Nursing and Midwifery have led me to lactation consultancy, which allows me to share my wide knowledge across three uniquely destinct professions aimed at women's health and well being. 

"Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival" ~ World Health Organisation 

From supporting you through your pregnancy, labour and birth or postnatal care, to unpacking the journey from the inside out. 

I am here to listen, offer support and understanding, and educate, however that looks like for you.

"Giving birth should be your greatest achievement, not your greatest fear" ~ Jane Weideman
