I am here to help you
and your family.

I understand how that initial support you get in those early days can dictate your entire feeding experience.

About me

I qualified in 2009 as a Breastfeeding Counsellor.  I have worked with a variety of organisations in Kent, in the private sector and the NHS.  I have had the privilege of supporting families with feeding throughout their entire journey.  Whether they are thinking about colostrum harvesting antenatally or considering stopping feeding a toddler.  I understand how that initial support you get in those early days can literally dictate your feeding experience.  You can feel fragile and vulnerable straight after birth and having a compassionate, empathic practitioner along-side you, is invaluable.  Breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt and I believe women often put up with unnecessary pain because of this misconception.  

I live in Sevenoaks with my two daughters, Sassy who wants to work in fashion photography and Tilly who wants to be a dancer.

When I’m not working or driving Tilly to various dance competitions, I enjoy running with a local group of women who I adore.  I have run many half marathons, slightly less full marathons and 2 ultra marathons.  I played Kent League squash for many years and am now attempting Padel.

Through my work in hospitals, I have supported families with very premature babies and mums who have had very medicalised pregnancies and births.

I offer support with a variety of areas including:
  • Colostrum harvesting
  • Engorgement
  • Mastitis
  • Thrush
  • Vasospasm
  • Raynauds
  • Tongue tie
  • Expressing
  • Blebs
  • Painful nipples
  • Poor weight gain
  • Over supply
  • low milk supply
  • Breastfeeding with implants
  • Sleep

Kind words from my Parents

"Andrea combines her obvious technical expertise with such warmth"
I found the postpartum period incredibly challenging and Andrea's help and guidance was invaluable . Without her I would not have been able to continue breastfeeding. Andrea combines her obvious technical expertise with such warmth and empathy there was nothing I felt I couldn't share with her and I was so grateful to have met such a wonderful person during such a vulnerable time we are forever grateful for your help with our feeding journey.

"I was extra grateful for your many messages and videos sent late in the evening or at the weekend:
A huge thank you for all your help getting the tongue twice sorted and getting us back to breast feeding it was looking like it wasn't going to happen and I'm so proud and grateful to have made it work thanks in large part to all of your support and encouragement. I was extra grateful for your many messages and videos sent late in the evening or at the weekend when I'm sure you could have been relaxing instead!
Claire and Callum
"I'll always remember how much you helped and will always value the connection"
If you hadn’t helped me with breastfeeding we probably would have given up on day 2 but look at us now, we are basically professionals! I'll always remember how much you helped and will always value the connection we made thank you for everything.
Claire and Matilda
"I can't believe I'm able to feed pain free!!"
Thanks so much for your help today. We had a three hour nap together after you left, I can't believe I'm able to feed pain free!! Thank you for being so kind and compassionate.

"You totally validated our early days of feeding trauma, helping us understand so much more "
Andrea you're expertise was invaluable. You totally validated our early days of feeding trauma, helping us understand so much more both about feeding and my feelings about being a mum.
