Mother Baby Bonding

THINGS I CAN HELP WITH

My aim is to not only provide practical feeding support and evidence-based information but also to provide emotional support to nourish you and build your confidence – I want you to have the time and space to explore your feeding journey. I would like to help nurture the bond between you, your baby and your family. I am flexible and happy to tailor my services to your needs.

 

All of my consultations come with a full written report and a bonus 2-week post consultation messaging support. I encourage all partners, support systems and families to attend.

*I only do home visits within approximate 15 to 20 miles of my home. Home visits have a £15 surcharge (unless within 1 mile of my home). Virtual consults are available.

You can also buy my services as a gift  - please contact me for details.
