IBCLC Services

I offer private services to families requiring antenatal and/or postnatal breastfeeding and chestfeeding support. My support can be accessed in a variety of ways depending on your individual situation and requirements. I offer home visits, online consultations or phone/text/Whatsapp support.

My services centre around a personalised approach, using evidence-based information to empower you on your journey. I do not set time limits; each session takes as long as we need. My aim is to work with each client in an individualised way, supporting your needs and acknowledging your family dynamics and feeding goals.

I complete regular training to keep up to date with the latest research and work within the IBLCE Code of Professional Conduct. I hold my own professional insurance.

If you are finding yourself restricted from accessing my services due to financial circumstances, please contact me and I can discuss a variety of options with you, including payment plans or directing you to other free or low-cost sources of support.

*Prices marked with an asterisk are for CT14, 15, 16, and 17 postcodes. Outside of these areas travel expenses will apply.

Initial Lactation Consultant Home Visit

This is a comprehensive consultation, which allows me to take the time to work with you and your baby and address any worries or challenges you may be having. This will include a pre-visit phone call and a home visit where I will take a comprehensive feeding history and carry out a full feeding assessment, as well as plenty of time to sit and listen and discuss a plan forward. You will receive a follow-up email and comprehensive feeding plan within 48 hours of the visit and can access up to two weeks of further email/text/Whatsapp support.

Follow-up Home Visit

These visits are perfect if you require a subsequent consultation to continue working on your feeding journey. This will also include an extra week of email/text/Whatsapp support.

Video Call Consultation

For some clients, this can be a convenient option of support and means that location is no barrier to accessing my services. The consultation will include time to discuss your feeding journey so far and address any questions you have. You will receive a follow-up email and feeding plan as well as up to one week of continued email/text/Whatsapp support.

£60

Telephone Consulation

A telephone consultation can work well for clients who have less complex scenarios. We can chat about your feeding experience and I will give you plenty of time to ask questions and chat through different options. This can be a good option if you have questions on things such as starting solids, going back to work, weaning, etc.

£40

Newborn Settling-in Visit

Sometimes parents just need a little reassurance that everything is going as it should be. During this visit, I can help you settle-in with your baby, watch a feed and offer reassurance on good positioning and latch, and give you information so you can know how to look for signs that your baby is feeding well. We can discuss any worries and take our time to debrief on your baby's arrival into the world and how to navigate the fourth trimester.

Antenatal Talk

WhatsApp Image 2022-04-06 at 7.45_edited.jpg

This session can be delivered as a home visit or as a video call. I will spend time with you and any other relevant people in your life who are supporting you on your journey towards breastfeeding. I will provide evidence-based information and resources for you to empower the beginnings of nurturing your child. There will be plenty of time to chat and for you to ask any questions.

£75*

Breastfeeding Debrief

WhatsApp Image 2022-04-04 at 9.19.20 AM.jpeg

This session can work well after a breastfeeding journey has come to an end, particularly if that ending was not as smooth as you'd hoped. It can also be very positive if you are about to embark on your next journey and would like the time and space to un-pack what happened previously.

£60*

Comprehensive Lactation Package

This package provides you with a solid foundation of support. It includes an antenatal breastfeeding session, two home-visits after your baby arrives at a time of your choice, as well as email/text/Whatsapp support for up to 4 weeks.
