I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. This means that I am internationally recognised as having the education and clinical competence to provide expert breastfeeding and lactation care. Additionally, I have almost 30 years of experience working as a nurse and midwife in a variety of women's and children's health settings. My breadth of experience has given me substantial knowledge and many skills to promote Mother & Baby Care.
I am also the mother of 3 adult children all of whom were breastfed. Through this experience I developed a deep understanding of the rewards and challenges that come with breastfeeding and being a new mother. While breastfeeding is a natural activity, successful breastfeeding happens when mothers and their significant family members are given the right advice and support at the right time and place. It takes planning, preparation and practice to fully achieve successful breastfeeding. As a lactation consultant and midwife I believe in the importance of empowering women to achieve self-determination through the provision of evidence-based information and practical support that takes into account a woman's unique and particular circumstances. |
