Services

Your parenting journey is special and is uniquely yours. I understand that families are unique too. I am focussed on being inclusive of all family diversities, sizes, cultures, sexualities and genders.

I respect your need to be cared for in a way that supports you and your individuality.

How to get started

I am more than happy for you to phone me so we can get to know each other and discuss your concerns. Then if you would like, we can arrange a time for me to visit, to explore your concerns more fully. A travel fee may apply. An initial consultation will usually take 1.5 - 2 hours.

During a consultation I want you to feel heard and supported. I would like you to tell me about your birth and early feeding experiences. I will ask for your consent to do an assessment of a breastfeed/bottle feed and will also do an oral assessment of your baby’s sucking action. I will ask you lots of questions to have an understanding of all the factors that are impacting on your feeding experience.

Together, we will discuss how to enhance feeding for both you and your baby. After our consultation, I always value our ongoing communication, as feeding plans need to be modified, depending on what is working and what is not.

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 baby/toddler. I want to make a plan that feels right for you and your family.

Please note I may not be able to take your call during clinic hours but kindly leave a message so that I may respond to you as soon as I am able at the end of the day.
