A Bit About Me
I had the honour to volunteer as an Infant Feeding Support Worker at St George’s Hospital for five years whilst working to gain this internationally renowned certification. I supported Mothers and their new babies with various breastfeeding related concerns from hand expressing, position and attachment to sore nipples and mastitis. I am grateful to my knowledgeable and patient supervisor and all my colleagues for this amazing experience at the hospital.
I am a Mother Supporter with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers. I am passionate about helping Mothers and Babies find their unique togetherness with breastfeeding. I believe this is possible when support is given in a timely and skilled manner.
I am a mother of two daughters both of whom taught me a lot about breastfeeding, especially my first. My life changed when my first was born. We had some breastfeeding difficulties that took some challenges to overcome. I didn’t get the right support and I would have loved to know that it is completely normal for a baby to want to breastfeed every 30-45 minutes in the first few days. In fact they are helping to establish the Mother’s milk supply.
I am fully insured by Holistic Insurance Services.
A different side to me
I am a STOTT qualified Pilates instructor and a REPs Level 3 Personal Trainer. I run a fitness business, Chelsea Personal Training with the help of top London Personal Trainers. The two passions seem far apart, however, I have supported and continue to support mothers and their babies with both breastfeeding and exercise over the years. Ultimately, they both relate to my main value; HEALTH.
I hold a Masters in Human Resources Management with CIPD recognition from Middlesex University and a BSc in Psychology from the University of Leeds.
