How to get started
I am more than happy for you to phone me so we can get to know a little about each other and discuss your concerns. Then if you would like, we can arrange a time for me to visit you, to explore these concerns more fully. A travel fee may apply. An initial consultation will usually take 1.5 hours.
During a consultation I will work with you to gain an understanding of the factors that are impacting on your breastfeeding experience and also observe your baby while feeding. We would then work toward enhancing the experience for both you and your baby. I value our ongoing communication so that feeding plans can be modified as needed.
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 child and work with you to form 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.
