Supporting mums through challenges like mastitis, latch struggles, and confidence dips is exactly why I do this work.

So grateful for this kind review 🤍

If you need support, I’m here.

I have been supporting a mum navigating mastitis

When we first spoke, she was in pain, her breast was inflamed, and feeding felt overwhelming.

With the right support, things have started to shift:

Redness and swelling reducing
Pain improving
Feeding becoming more manageable
Mum feeling more confident

We focused on:

– Gentle, effective milk removal
– Improving latch (even when it’s tricky)
– Rest, antibiotics, and realistic expectations
– Understanding baby’s oral anatomy and positioning

I’ve also created a mastitis support sheet to guide families through this—because knowing what’s happening and what helps makes such a difference.

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone—and it can get better with the right support.

Message me for my mastitis guide or to book 1:1 support (home visits & phone support available).

Did you know I offer phone support?

You don’t always need a home visit to feel supported. Sometimes you just need someone to talk things through with, in the moment.

Whether it’s latch worries, feeding patterns, pain, or just needing reassurance — I’m here.

Real-time support.
No pressure.
Just guidance when you need it most.

Send me a message to book or find out more.

If you’ve been thinking about coming but feeling unsure… you’re not the only one.

These things can feel a bit daunting, especially if you don’t know anyone yet.

But this is exactly why I’ve created it—to be a space that feels easy, relaxed and welcoming.

You can come for as little or as long as you like.

I’ll be there to say hello, so you won’t be on your own.

You don’t have to know anyone to come to this.

If you’ve been thinking “I should get out more” but it feels a bit overwhelming… this is your sign.

I’m hosting a really simple, relaxed mums’ park picnic—no structure, no pressure, just a space to sit, chat, feed your baby, or quietly exist alongside other mums.

• Thursday 30 April
• From 11:30am
• Ellington Park, Ramsgate
• Free parking nearby

Bring a picnic, a blanket & your little ones.
You can arrive late, leave early, or just stay for 10 minutes—whatever feels manageable on the day.

I’ll be there to welcome you (and probably holding a coffee ☕️), so you won’t be walking into a group of strangers alone.

This is the kind of space I wish more mums had—especially in those early days where everything can feel a bit isolating.

If you’re thinking about coming, comment or send me a message—I’d love to know who to look out for.

Today… I feel like a big girl.

Because I just submitted my community interest company (CIC) application — something that feels deeply personal, not just professional.

Through midwifery, through breastfeeding support, through sitting with families in those raw, early days — I kept seeing the same thing: we can do better.

More support.

More understanding.

More spaces where families feel truly held.

Because this isn’t just a project… it’s a piece of something I wish every family could have from the very beginning.
