Breastfeeding Counsellor

In the UK, 8 out of 10 women stop breastfeeding before they want to. However, with the right support, mothers can enjoy a longer and more fulfilling breastfeeding experience.

My goal is to empower and equip mothers with the necessary skills and knowledge to fully embrace the incredible benefits in a safe and supportive environment.

Benefits of Breastfeeding - in the mother

  • Helps the uterus contract & return to previous size

  • Protects from breast & ovarian cancers

  • Protects against heart disease

  • Lowers the risk of depression

  • Encourages bonding

  • It’s free as well as available whenever & wherever you need it

Benefits of Breastfeeding - in the newborn

  • Protects from illnesses - such as infection, diabetes, asthma & heart disease

  • Protects babies from cot death (sudden infant death syndrome)

  • Reduces risk of diarrhoea & vomiting

  • Reduces risk of cardiovascular disease & obesity in adulthood

  • Promotes healthy weight gain

  • Promotes a normal & healthy development

  • Encourages bonding

  • Breastmilk meets all of a baby’s nutritional needs

  • Select ‘Book Now’ and fill in the booking form. I will be in touch with class details and payment info.

    Thank You!

  • Zoom 1-2-1:

    A convenient & flexible option which will involve a 1 hour discussion and virtual demonstration on your area of interest/concern.

    • 1 Hour Zoom Appt

    • 15 Mins Follow-Up Call

    • £95

    Home Visit 1-2-1:

    2 hour appointment from the comfort of your own home. Breastfeeding, mixed feeding & expressing support can often require a more thorough hands on approach. A home visit is a good idea if you feel a more personalised face to face option will leave you feeling as equipped & confident as possible.

    • 2 Hour Home Appt

    • 30 Mins Follow-Up Call

    • £150

  • Absolutely!

    Research has shown that women who engage with antenatal support, such as breastfeeding classes, are more likely to experience an enjoyable and more successful breastfeeding journey.

    Booking a Zoom 1-2-1 or Home Visit is entirely up to you. A Zoom class will be a great introduction to breastfeeding whilst addressing any areas of concern. A home visit will be a more thorough face to face appointment utilising methods of demonstration.

  • Please get in touch with any issues you are facing and we can ensure I am able to help before you book, this is because some matters require a GP.

    Here is a list of a few areas I can support with:

    • Engorgement

    • Mastitis

    • Low milk Supply

    • Nipple Pain

    • Breast Pain

    • Blocked Milk Ducts

    • Re-Lactation/ Induced Lactation

    • Suppressing Lactation

    • Reflux/Wind/Colic

  • Absolutely!

    Breastfeeding, mixed feeding & expressing can be a daunting pipe dream when you have more than one mouth to feed.

    It is, however, very possible! Booking with Bloom will equip you with all the knowledge and confidence you need to provide your babies with breastmilk in whatever form you choose to deliver it.

  • Booking a class with me does not mean I only cover breastfeeding.

    I also support mothers with hand expression, manual breast pumps & electrical breast pumps.

    Should you wish to mix feed but need that little bit of advice on how to make it work best for you and baby, please know booking with Bloom can support you.

  • Providing breastmilk for a premature baby may be a challenge, but it is possible! Breastmilk is an extremely effective way to enhance your baby’s health, growth and development.
