Breastfeeding takes practice and patience.

But more than that, it takes support. Someone you know you can trust guiding you through the often challenging early days, weeks and months of learning this new skill.

How we feed our babies has become a bit of a battlefield.
Yes, it's a 'natural' process, but it's also a learned process. Our villages have spread out, and so too has our chance to gain that LIVED KNOWLEDGE of breastfeeding.
As we've lost that learned experience we've become prey to myths, anxieties and stresses that come from that fear of the unknown.

This course is designed to give you a reference point- something to grasp onto in the sea of doubt that swirls over you as a new parent. 


As a GP and Lactation Consultant, I give you solid and evidence based foundation to help you build your confidence for breastfeeding.

FAQ

  • When in my pregnancy should I start these courses?

    The courses are designed to be done at your own pace and you have access to them for 12 months from date of purchase. A great time to start it would be at around 12 weeks of pregnancy so you can feel much more prepared as you approach the birth as well as still giving you access in those first few months of newborn life. However all are designed so that they can be started and completed at any point at all, even post partum.

  • How much time do I need to commit?

    As much or as little as you want to. These courses are designed to be completed at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home. You can even sit down with your partner or support person and go through the modules together to help prepare you both for the exciting times ahead.

  • How much time do I have to access the course?

    You will receive access to all downloadable worksheets, factsheets and guided meditation recordings for you to keep forever to help keep you on your path. On top of this you will have 12 months access to all course materials from the time you purchase the course.

  • Can I gift this course as a present?

    Of course! This course would make an excellent present for any expecting or new parents that you know. Just enter in your loved one's name and email address instead of yours when you pay for the course or even better for the full 'Fourth Trimester' bundle.

  • What if I change my mind?

    I really want you to enjoy these courses and come out with a greater feeling of confidence in yourself and your abilities as a new parent, so all courses are designed to equip you with all the knowledge needed to achieve your goals.
