Are you breastfeeding or currently pregnant and planning to breastfeed?

Have you ever had a breastfeeding question or needed immediate lactation support or assessment?
 
Living rurally shouldn’t make you disadvantaged to this essential service.

I am an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), working with newborns and beyond. I offer compassionate, evidence based, lactation assessments and breastfeeding support. These appointments can either be in the home, on telephone or via video conferencing. It would be a privilege to be involved in your breastfeeding journey. 

“It’s a mother’s right to breastfeed her baby and be supported while doing so.”

I can't recommend Nicola enough. I've been in touch with her for all three of my children.

Nicola has been so important in my breastfeeding journey as my son kept throwing us curveballs along the way. She is patient and takes time to explain processes and give support when needed. Definitely recommend her to anyone who is struggling with breastfeeding.

Nicola was fast responding to book in an appointment to see us and was available to help us when needed. Highly recommend her service to anyone who needs a little extra guidance and support to feel comfortable and confident.

Such a great service for all mums in the district! Nicola is super fast responding and will travel for appointments. After a very good and easy breastfeeding experience with our first child I needed some advice with out second and Nicola was there to help,

As a mum, nurse and midwife, I highly recommend Nicola's lactation consultancy services. I contacted Nicola 16 months into my breastfeeding journey and she visited my baby and I at home just a couple of hours later. The care she provided us at home including follow up, meant we avoided an unnecessary presentation to the GP or emergency department. I found Nicola to be professional, knowledgeable, caring and supportive. A highly valuable asset to our region.
