Hello! My name is Abigail
I am an IBCLC accredited lactation consultant and midwife based in Kent

No one really prepares you for matrescence…

That huge shift when you become a mum—physically, emotionally, mentally.

And when feeding isn’t going how you expected, it can feel even more overwhelming.

I’m a midwife and lactation consultant, and I support women through this transition—helping you feel confident, supported, and not alone.

Message me if you need support.

I’m still here.

Community support has always been at the heart of my work, and that isn’t going anywhere.

The early days with a baby can feel overwhelming, and having a space where you feel calm, reassured, and understood makes such a difference.

I’m taking a little time behind the scenes to shape something that truly reflects how I work — gentle, supportive, and centred around what parents really need in those early weeks.

Something is coming… and I can’t wait to share it with you.

In the meantime, I’m here if you need support.

After a really special season of running our drop-in group together, we’ve made the decision to close this chapter.

Due to conflicting schedules and family commitments, continuing the group in its current format isn’t possible for us both right now.

I’m so proud of what we created — such a warm, supportive space for families, and what a way to end on such a successful run!

Wishing Sarah all the very best in her future ventures — it’s been a pleasure working together and supporting so many families side by side.

Thank you to everyone who came along, trusted us, and made the group what it was ✨

I’ll be sharing more soon about my own ongoing community based support — watch this space.

Breastfeeding is often framed as a personal choice…

But the reality?

It’s shaped by the world around you.

The The Lancet highlights that when breastfeeding rates are low, it’s not because women don’t care.

It’s because support is missing.

And that has a ripple effect:
– On families
– On healthcare systems
– On society as a whole

This is why I care so much about what I do.

Because one supported mum changes everything.
If you’ve ever felt like breastfeeding was harder than it “should” be… you’re not imagining it.

You were never meant to do this alone.

Come to our Tuesday community group

Or just save this for when you need the reminder

I’m restarting my Birth Trauma Resolution course — something I began before but had to pause when life got full (as it so often does).

This feels really important. Not just for my own growth, but for the families I support. Birth experiences stay with us, and having the right tools to hold, process, and gently work through those stories matters so much.

I’m excited to deepen my practice and expand what I can offer — holding space not just for feeding, but for the whole journey that surrounds it.

If birth didn’t go the way you hoped, please know you’re not alone 🤍

More to come as I learn and grow.
