More about me

Hello!

I'm mum to Sebastian (2019) and Clementine (2021). I've been an osteopath and clinical pilates teacher for a long time and, together with my husband, we run the Pure Health clinic in Barton-upon-Humber.

​

I have always been passionate about breastfeeding, and so when I was pregnant with my first it seemed like a simple choice to breastfeed him. I didn't think too much more about it. It's natural so it must be easy, right? Well in my case at least, I was wrong! I won't bore you with the whole tale but suffice to say we had many obstacles to overcome during our journey. I realised how important support is during this time, and how hard it can be to find sometimes.

 

This has ultimately led me along the road to qualifying as an accredited infant feeding coach through the Infant Feeding Academy, and I am registered with FEDANT (federation of antenatal educators) as a breastfeeding counsellor. I provide feeding support and advice from our clinic in Barton, but I can also offer home visits in Barton or Hull, as well as video consultations.

​

I am passionate about breastfeeding, but I also believe that all parents and prospective parents deserve the right to have an informed choice about how they wish to feed their babies, whether it be breastmilk, expressed milk, formula, a comination of both or donor milk. And so at MILK I offer a safe space to explore and discuss your options. Your goals are always at the forefront of my consultations. 

​

I look forward to meeting you soon!
