“Steph has supported me and my family for almost 3 years / 2 out of my 3 feeding journeys.

Steph initially started supporting me with my second son enabling me to feed beyond my expectations! We discussed topics such as feeding past the ‘norm’, pumping/introducing bottles and feeding during pregnancy. Steph was also instrumental in my second successful breastfeeding journey with my daughter, we had a few setbacks which wasn’t too much for her to assist us with. Once we had my daughter’s tongue tie assessment and division, an issue which was picked up by Steph, it made feeding so much better for both me and my daughter. Steph was also able to support me with tandem feeding questions and advice as well as feeding during teething. I can’t thank Steph enough for all of her help and support she’s provided us – she’s truly an angel of the breastfeeding world and I wouldn’t have gotten through all the difficult periods without her”

“I cannot recommend Steph highly enough! I had my first consultation when my baby was about 10 days old and I was really struggling with painful breastfeeding. I had done quite a bit of damage in the first couple of days due to a poor latch, and whilst I had improved the technique it was still so painful because of the damage I had already caused. Steph watch me feed my little one, took me through the basics again, and really showed me how to get her into different positions which meant she wasn’t always feeding from the same spot. This made feeding so much more comfortable and allowed the damage we had already done to heal. I’m pretty sure that if I hadn’t seen Steph in those very early days I would have shortly given up breastfeeding. My little one is now nearly 6 months old and I have just had another consultation as I wanted to start expressing to prepare for going back to work, which I was nervous about having previously had mastitis and an abscess. We discussed what to expect as my little one starts weaning and sleeping through the night and Steph gave me so much advice that I feel much more confident about pumping and going back to work. Thank you Steph :)”

“I cannot recommend Steph highly enough for the incredible support she has provided throughout my breastfeeding journey. From the very beginning, her professionalism and expertise has been evident. She guided me through the process of collecting colostrum before birth, ensuring I felt confident and prepared. Her advice was clear, compassionate, and tailored to my needs. After my daughter was born, we faced some challenges with latching. Steph was there every step of the way, offering practical solutions and endless encouragement. Her patience and understanding made all the difference, and with her help, we were able to establish a successful breastfeeding routine. Two and a half years on, as the time is coming to wean, Steph once again has provided invaluable support. She is helping us navigate the process smoothly, respecting both my child’s needs and my own emotions during this transition. Her holistic approach and unwavering support throughout these stages has been truly exceptional. If you are looking for an IBCLC who is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and kind, Steph is the perfect choice. She has been an indispensable part of our journey, and I am so grateful for her guidance.”

“We met you in hospital and I was so low and struggling so much to feed my daughter and you spent so much time with us and I can honestly say, if it wasn’t for you on that day in hospital I don’t think I would have had the mental strength to keep trying to breastfeed. I gave that feedback to the hospital team who called me after for feedback.”

“I can’t recommend Steph enough for helpful, gentle guidance and support. If it wasn’t for Steph I don’t think my baby would ever have latched. Steph came to our house when my baby was 7 days old. He hadn’t latched once before seeing Steph but within a 90 minute session we had been successful with his first feed. Steph managed to identify several barriers that were stopping us from being successful and give advice and support for us to be able to overcome them. When Steph returned two weeks later, she was able to offer more support and expertise in order for us to continue being successful on the breastfeeding journey. I have found Steph’s advice invaluable and I know that if it wasn’t for her we would not be where we are today.”

“Breastfeeding did not come easy to me and my daughter. We were faced with many challenges, tongue tie, reflux, cows milk protein allergy and a feeding aversion which resulted in her needing a ng tube. Steph was able to guide me at every turn, sharing her knowledge and expertise with me, often able to share more then what I was being advised by the hospital staff. As well as teaching me, Steph also built up my confidence, encouraging me to continue with breastfeeding when being pushed by others to stopped. I would often go to her at my lowest, desperate for guidance, wanting to continue to feed my daughter but just not knowing what was wrong.

By following Steph’s guidance and gaining the confidence I needed, I am now 14 months into breast feeding my daughter who has now become a real milk monster and thriving. I cannot thank Steph enough. The kindness and support she provided when I was really struggling has enabled me to surpass my own breastfeeding expectations.”
