Postpartum Care and
Lactation Consulting

Congratulations, You're a Parent

Perhaps adjusting is a little different to what you'd imagined.

Maybe some warm, helpful support is in order? There's no doubt that parenting brings a lifetime of joy but in the days and weeks after birth...it can be a lot!

I offer expert support and guidance as you navigate this time helping you with questions you have around your newborn, helping achieve breastfeeding goals and maintaining your own self care through rest, nourishment and more.

From breastfeeding advice to postpartum care, I'll help you feel confident and assured, answering any questions you have.

Postpartum Midwifery Care

This comprehensive package is for you if you're seeking calm and expert guidance in the fourth trimester including all things breastfeeding and birth recovery.

Postpartum Midwifery Care & Lactation Consulting (IBCLC®)

Continuous Personalised Care

Unlike the public system, where care can be fragmented my support extends for nearly 7 weeks, provided by one consistent caregiver. Imagine the relief of immediate access to support when concerns arise—no waiting for doctor appointments.

With me as your midwife, you can call or text anytime, ensuring prompt attention and peace of mind throughout your journey.

 

Expert Breastfeeding Support

With an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) at your side, achieving your breastfeeding goals becomes a reality. I specialise in identifying potential issues before they escalate, offering proactive solutions, and facilitating swift referrals to other health professionals if needed.

Your breastfeeding journey is supported with expertise and care every step of the way.

 

Supportive  Postpartum Planning

Be prepared for your postpartum with comprehensive planning during your pregnancy. I equip you with abundant, easily understandable information on breastfeeding and post-birth recovery, ensuring you feel informed and empowered every step of the way.

Together, we lay the groundwork for a smooth transition into motherhood.
