I am a mum of two, living in Basildon with my husband, my cats and my dog. I’ve been practicing as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for 3 years, volunteering and working in infant feeding support for nearly 8 years, and I’m currently studying to be a Holistic Sleep Coach Practitioner.

I trained as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor on a whim - I have been supporting families locally with their feeding journeys since 2019, and gradually expanding my knowledge to support in other areas of parenting as well. The infant massage course completely blew me away - everything I was already saying to parents about responsive parenting was reflected in a course that was accessible to everyone.

I finished the course and told the instructor “I think you’ve just changed my life”. It felt enormous, but I had no idea what to do with it!

But then it came to me. Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest adventures. It’s exciting, exhausting, joyful, overwhelming… and somehow nobody handed you a map.

And that is exactly why I created The Family Nest. Not because I have the map (I really don’t!), but because I’m here for the journey.

I wanted to create a space where parents could slow down, ask questions without judgment, and feel supported every step of the way.

No matter the type of support I’m providing, my approach is always evidence-based, practical and tailored to your family’s needs. I firmly believe that parenting doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to feel supported.

Welcome to The Family Nest. I can’t wait to hear from you.
