For the past nine years, I have specialised in complex infant feeding support, helping families overcome breastfeeding and feeding challenges with skilled, evidence-based care tailored to their individual circumstances

Alongside my private practice, I continue to work within the NHS, combining extensive maternity experience with compassionate, one-to-one lactation support in the comfort of your own home. I successfully re-certified as an IBCLC in 2025, maintaining the highest international standard in lactation care.

I provide private home visit consultations across Bicester, Oxford and surrounding areas supporting families with:

• Painful feeding and nipple trauma
• Latch and positioning difficulties
• Low milk supply concerns
• Expressing and pumping guidance
• Combination and mixed feeding
• Infant weight gain concerns
• Feeding behaviour and unsettled babies
• Complex feeding challenges

My approach is calm, supportive, and non-judgemental. I understand that feeding difficulties can feel exhausting and emotionally overwhelming, particularly when expectations differ from reality or advice feels conflicting. My role is to provide clear guidance, reassurance, and practical solutions that help you feel confident in feeding your baby.

Whether you are preparing antenatally, experiencing difficulties in the early weeks, or seeking ongoing support, I offer personalised care that is responsive to the needs of both you and your baby.

You’re in the right place if:

• Feeding feels painful, stressful, or emotionally draining
• Your baby is struggling to latch or feed effectively
• You’re concerned about milk supply or weight gain
• You feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice
• You want evidence-based support tailored to your family
• You’re looking for compassionate, expert guidance at home
