About

Family life for me is with my husband, Gareth, and our 2 children, Lottie and Finley. We live in Surrey and I love running in the countryside, keeping fit and playing tennis. I work part time for the NHS and then run my own breastfeeding and sleep support company called Baby Hive, which I co-founded with my colleague and friend Jane. 

Approach

Feeding 

During your consultation my aim is to listen to the whole of your feeding journey and how it has been for you. We will then look at where you would like to be with feeding and will discuss and work together so that I can offer you the information and practical support that best works best for you to get to where you would like to be with feeding. 

I cover all areas of breastfeeding support and bottle feeding support. We are all different and choose to feed in different ways. I am here to offer you the information and practical support so that you can do it the way you want to and the way that works best for you and your family. 

Sleep support

Compassionate, caring and calm support aiming to listen and work together with you to get you where you want to be with sleep. We will look at all areas of life from your day to day, to your little ones personality, to what they eat, so that sleep support is tailored to your individual little one and the family. At the heart of the support offered is nurture and love. So all techniques and information offered supports the bond between you and your little one. My aim is to give you the techniques and guidance to use so that the whole family have better sleep.
