Author

I am a passionate advocate for parent-centred care. Part of this role, is ensuring that my clients have the information they need to make informed choices for themselves and their families, but this is often a difficult task.

There is SO much misinformation out in the world, especially when it comes to lactation. Since training as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) I have written extensively on the subject (oh hello ND rabbit holes!) and in 2020 I decided that it was time to draw this knowledge into a large piece of literature.

So in 2020 I published my first book “Relactation: A Guide to Rebuilding Your Milk Supply” in the hope of addressing a critical gap in infant feeding literature. Since then, I have published two other books and I am currently finalising edits on book number 4!

I am, and will always remain, dedicated to dismantling misconceptions, sharing evidence-based practices, and ensuring parents have the knowledge they need to feel fully supported on their journeys.

  • Mixed Up: Combination Feeding by Choice or Necessity

    Many families find themselves feeding their baby a combination of breastmilk and formula–either by choice or through circumstance. Despite this being a very common way of infant feeding, there is a lack of non-judgemental, empathic, evidence-based information available to support parents.

    This book won’t tell you to stop combination feeding. It trusts you as the expert on your child and situation. It gives you all the options so that you can feel empowered to feed your baby with confidence.

  • Relactation: A Guide to Rebuilding Your Milk Supply

    Many mothers stop breastfeeding within the first 6 weeks, and many among them say that they wanted to breastfeed longer. This book is a guide to rebuilding your milk supply after a gap in breastfeeding.

    It doesn’t matter whether you stopped breastfeeding a week or even several years ago. It doesn’t matter if you want to return to breastfeeding the same baby, relactate to feed an adopted baby, or any other circumstance. The process is the same, and relactation IS possible.
