The benefits of breastfeeding are more far reaching than meeting the nutritional needs of a baby. The comfort and reassurance a baby experiences through the closeness of their mother promotes a security that produces a life long protective effect when faced with stress. And for the mother herself it is not just the physical benefits that make breastfeeding the best feeding option, it is the sense of empowerment that she will experience that will stay with her for the rest of her life.

I am passionate about ensuring that all mothers receive the right information and support in breastfeeding, in fact every aspect of my work provides opportunity to promote, support and protect breastfeeding.

As a Lactation Consultant I am able to work one to one with mothers ensuring the best chance of breastfeeding success. I am based at the Cheltenham Holistic Health Centre where mothers are able to book an appointment with me. I also provide home visits if required.
