How I teach.
Over the past 15 years, I have delivered a variety of training on breastfeeding and infant feeding in a diverse range of settings to help professionals and volunteers at all stages of their careers.

Yes, I can also speak to you about bespoke training for your setting that suits your needs and is sympathetic to your budget.
What is my experience?
I am experienced in delivering training to peer supporters, health professionals and sessions for parents both antenatally and postnatally.
I have facilitated at in-person conferences, remote conferences nationally and internationally and in small group settings.
I have worked with student midwives, student health visitors, GPs and other doctors and a range of breastfeeding specialists.
What topics do I cover?
I am happy to deliver any session within my remit as an IBCLC. I have previously prepared sessions on:
responsive feeding
the role of partners
tandem breastfeeding
concerns around infant weight gain
concerns around low milk supply
oversupply
common early problems
supporting breastfeeding older babies
positioning and attachment
stopping breastfeeding.
Workshop series
I have developed a series of workshops for children at different ages that builds on my experience as a primary school teacher and the author of The Breast Book.
The sessions are an age appropriate way to normalize breastfeeding and explore concepts such as body image and use of social media.
I regularly offer FREE training sessions via Zoom for student health visitors and any other interested parties.
The next session with availability is on Thursday 25th July 2024, 11am UK time. The focus is on supporting breastfeeding beyond 6 months including the end of breastfeeding.
