Breastfeeding Support

I am a fully qualified and insured breastfeeding counsellor, offering support to parents in and around Harrogate.

I know from experience that breastfeeding doesn’t always get off to the easiest of starts and it can be difficult to know where to turn. I have worked with hundreds of families during their early infant feeding journeys to support them to feed their babies how they want to.

If breastfeeding or chestfeeding is important to you, it’s important to me too! I don’t want anyone to ever feel unsupported.

Home visits

I offer home visits in and around the Harrogate area* for £40 per hour, where I can listen to what’s going on for you and your baby, observe a feed to assess your baby’s latch and draw on my experience and knowledge to support you.

Breastfeeding counsellor in my pocket!

For a one-off cost of £25 I can offer unlimited** telephone, video call and WhatsApp support for two weeks. This is an invaluable service for new parents in the early days, when people often have a lot of feeding questions that might not seem important enough to reach out to a health professional with. No question is too big or too small! I’ll be there to answer anything.

*If you live within a three mile radius of Harrogate town centre, travel is included in the price. I can travel further afield for a cost of £1 per mile.

**Unlimited in terms of the number of texts/calls/video calls, but I may not always be available immediately due to family and other work commitments - I always aim to reply to any overnight texts by 9:30 the following morning and during the day I will always reply at the earliest possible opportunity.

Please note! I strongly believe that a parent’s finances should never be a barrier to them accessing breastfeeding support. If the costs above are a genuine barrier for you, please get in touch with me and we can discuss some options, totally free from judgement.
