So refreshing! Jess was amazing and very knowledgeable in providing advice to help with my perceived low milk supply. Jess’s natural and holistic approach to safely take away the expressing and formula top ups, while monitoring baby’s weight, makes so much sense! I just wish I saw her earlier and didn’t waste so much time and money expressing. Highly recommend and will be back when I have my second!

We have been so well educated and supported by Jess in our breastfeeding journey. I honestly don’t know where we’d be without her! From our antenatal breastfeeding education session, we felt armed and ready to set ourselves up for the best start to feeding. When our baby came various feeding challenges arose, and Jess went above and beyond with continuing to educate and support us in our individual situation, forever providing us with evidence based information and strategies with the most holistic and kind manner. Jess has literally saved our breastfeeding experience and has always left me feeling positive and capable regardless of the situation. Everyone needs an incredible IBCLC on their side when having a baby, there is such a focus on birth preparation but feeding our babies is actually so much more taxing and intense as it is day in day out for many months! Investing in feeding support is an absolute must, I cannot recommend this service highly enough!

I reached out to Jessica in desperation when my breastfeeding journey went downhill after bad advice led me to offering the bottle to my 9 week old bub. After enquiring I was almost immediately contacted by Jessica and she offered me her first appointment for the next day.

Jessica was informative, patient and caring. She listened, offered reassurance and ultimately gave me the confidence to continue fighting for the outcome I wanted - exclusively breastfeeding my baby. I can’t thank her enough!

Jess‘s incredible knowledge and guidance with breastfeeding early on completely changed mine and baby’s breastfeeding experience!
We went from a rocky start to breastfeeding after some poor advice leaving myself and baby stressed out and emotional with painful latches and me with sore nipples, to pain free and calm feeding immediately after one consultation with Jess. Her approach is hands off, and empowering using thorough education and guidance to help myself and baby find our way to breast feed with confidence and without any painful breast manipulations. I am so grateful I found Jess early on from a midwife recommendation and won’t hesitate going back if we ever encounter other difficulties on our breastfeeding journey and will be recommending her to all new mamas who need breastfeeding support!

I will never regret investing in seeing an IBCLC. I’ve seen Jess with both my babies and each time I’ve learnt something new. The knowledge and skills gained from my first consult with my first baby prepared me for the challenges with my second (slow weight gain). With so much conflicting feeding advice often given in the early days of a baby’s life, it was comforting to see Jess and receive evidence based advice and plans that also protected my breastfeeding goals during a period of having to provide bottle top ups. Jess showed a deep desire to work within the scope of my goals and preferences, without judgement. My confidence has been boosted each time I’ve seen her and have valued our sessions so much that a voucher has become my go-to gift for local mummas-to-be.

Jessica was amazing at helping calm my new mothers anxiety and answer my many questions. With so much conflicting advice out there, it was so great to sit down with a calming personable, and well-educated practitioner who educated me on what I needed and what was best for my daughter. Not what 'society' or 'Instagram' says is needed.

With some small tweeks to positioning and feeling more educated on my daughters feeding needs, both developmentally and biomehcnically, I am eager to continue my breastfeeding journey! And I can keep having my coffee too which is a plus. Thank you Jessica!

What an incredible woman Jessica is. Please do yourself a favour and make an appointment! I had a terrible experience with breastfeeding my first child so I looked out for knowledge and a plan with an expert for my second. I saw Jessica for an antenatal appointment which is the main reason my first 3 days post natal were so successful with breastfeeding. I then saw her for initial and follow up consultations and now enjoy breastfeeding and no longer have that cloud of worry and doubt I had breastfeeding first child. Jessica is full of knowledge and wisdom and will make you feel calm and empowered. I wish I had known about her with my first child.

Jess is more than just a lactation consultant!

I attended an antenatal appointment with Jess back in November as a first time expectant mother, and since having my baby boy in January, I can confidently say my breastfeeding journey has been wonderful thanks to her early advice. Not a single issue with nipple soreness or transfer of milk.

Jess is extremely knowledgeable and is able to convey that knowledge effortlessly in a way that I could easily digest and understand. I was surprised that the 2 hour long appointment felt hardly long enough, I left her office feeling evermore curious about the wonders of motherhood and the different cultural standards surrounding it! I didn't want to leave

The first couple of days were definitely tricky teaching my bub how to latch properly, but I've learnt it just takes confidence in your body's ability to feed your baby along with correct guidance and a little determination to get you off to an amazing start with your breastfeeding journey! So thank you Jess for being that guidance for me ️

Jess is absolutely amazing. If I could give 100 stars I would. I was days away from giving up my breastfeeding journey and one session with Jess has me feeling like breastfeeding is a breeze.
She made us so comfortable and relaxed and answered all our questions and more.
Could not recommend highly enough for all your lactation needs!

Cannot recommend Jess highly enough!
We saw her in the crazy Christmas/ New Year period with our two week old. I was so relieved that she is still looking after families during this time. Jess has created a welcoming and safe environment for both mothers and partners. We left our appointment today feeling confident and reassured that breastfeeding exclusively is within our grasp and that we can soon get off the hamster wheel of Breastfeeding, pumping and top ups!
Thank you so much Jess.

Jessica is fantastic and extremely knowledgeable in all things lactation. She made me feel very comfortable and has helped me work toward my breast feeding goals.

Jess is a wealth of knowledge and so supportive! We reached out to Jess with our second child who was slow to gain weight and very sleepy from birth. She put together a practical plan that we could work with allowing us to slowly wean off bottles to achieve what we wanted! I am so happy we found Jess

I went and saw Jessica with my 9 month old baby, after being bombarded with sleep advice elsewhere that I didn’t feel comfortable with, her approach amazed me. It was really nice to have my mothering instincts backed up by facts and science, and to be validated about my parenting, sleep and feeding and not shamed.
I cannot reccomened her enough, really listens and respects you on an individual level.

Jess was such a help to me with my breastfeeding journey. She was super supportive of my goals, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Each time I left an appointment I would have a clear plan in place and felt so informed.

If you’re searching for a lactation consultant, I would highly recommend seeing Jess!

After our consultation with Jess, I left feeling confident and empowered to continue on my breastfeeding journey. With her knowledge and kind approach, jess gave me the confidence to trust my instincts, everything we spoke about simply made sense. As a first time mum with a baby that spent time in special care I felt a huge weight had been lifed from my shoulders.

Thank you!

Jess is a wealth of knowledge and provides excellent support. I have recommended her to many people and all have been equally happy and so relieved after seeking her assistance. I highly recommend her to any parents who need help with baby feeding and sleeping.don't hesitate to reach out to her it is so worth it

I honestly cannot recommend Jess enough! As a FTM with a premie baby who has a tongue tie, Jess has been such a wealth of knowledge during my breastfeeding journey. Whenever I was close to giving up, I would visit Jessica and she provided me with the knowledge and skills I needed to continue. She gave me such a positive outlook on breastfeeding and has saved me time and time again!

My husband and I went to see Jessica with our 5 day old son, Max, after having difficulties with his breastfeeding latch due to a tongue tie. As a FTM I was very anxious about my ability to breastfeed and we both really wanted to get specialised support to ensure we could embark on this journey together. Jess made us feel very positive and supported, she is an expert in this area and taught us so much and we left our consultation feeling empowered and with a solid plan in place to give Max the best start in life.

We cannot recommend Jess more highly, after 1 consultation I left feeling empowered that our son being entirely breastfed was possible, she completely changed our breastfeeding journey in that consultation and we cannot thank her enough for everything. Jess is very clearly highly knowledgeable and an expert in her field.
