About Me

My journey into infant feeding didn’t just happen in a hospital ward as a midwife —it happened at home, too. I am a mother to three girls, and my experiences feeding them were as unique and individual as they are.

Despite my background as a Midwife, I faced my own hurdles. I have navigated the challenges that lead parents to seek an IBCLC and the uncertainty that comes with a tongue-tie diagnosis. I know firsthand the physical exhaustion of a difficult latch and the emotional weight of just wanting to feed your baby peacefully.

Why this matters to you?

These personal experiences changed the way I practice. They taught me that:

​The “Right” Way is Your Way: There is no one-size-fits-all. I support your goals, whether that is exclusive breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or a mix of both.

​Empathy is as Important as Clinical Skill: I understand the vulnerability of the postpartum period. I arrive at your home not just with a medical bag, but with a deep respect for the journey you are on.

​Support Should Be Holistic: Because I’ve been there, I don’t just look at the “snip.” I look at your comfort, your recovery, and your confidence as a parent.
