Support from a lactation consultant
Team work makes the dream work.
We care as much about your breastfeeding journey as you do and are here for you in all the ups and downs. We offer holistic, evidence based yet simple breastfeeding support wherever you are at in your journey- pregnant, new mama or a seasoned breastfeeder. All appointments are conducted by Kate Visser, who has spent over a decade working with families as a registered midwife, nurse and IBCLC. Kate understands the difficulties modern mama’s face and has a well recognised reputation for being empathic, supportive, realistic, and grounding. Her goal is for you to sit back, decades down the track, and reflect on your breastfeeding journey with pride and peace, not guilt and shame. Her promise is to meet you where you are at, and to provide professional breastfeeding support that meets your individual goals.
Medicare rebates available for all consultations before 7 weeks postpartum
