Everyone’s journey is different; all babies are unique and have their own personalities and need to be cared for in a way that supports this individuality.
I believe it is important to take the time to learn about your family, your needs and look to understand the challenges you are facing right from our first contact. I am passionate about providing individualized care for you and your baby and aim to work with you toward achieving the outcomes you are seeking in a way that feels right for you.
I would be pleased to support you with any questions or concerns about:
Breastfeeding Difficulties
Painful Feeding
Breast Refusal
Issues with under and oversupply
Feeding challenges associated with oral ties
Unsettled infant behaviour and crying
Maternal emotional wellbeing
How to get started
I am more than happy for you to phone me and we can get to know a little about each other and discuss any concerns you may be experiencing. Then if you would like, we can arrange a time when I can come to your home and explore your concerns more fully.
The time for each consultation varies and may range from 1-2 to several hours.
Breastfeeding specific consultations may take around 2 hours. This time is used to gain an understanding of the factors that are impacting on your breastfeeding experience and also observe your baby while feeding. We would then work towards enhancing the experience for both you and your baby. I believe it is important to continue to support you after our initial consultation, and so I provide email, sms, skype and or phone support in the week following as part of the initial consultation.
Consultations that address other parenting concerns may require longer consultation times, as it’s important to fully assess the factors that are impacting on your child and work with you to form a plan that feels right for you and your family. Again email, sms, skype and or phone support is provided in the week following as part of the consultation.
