Meet Nikki

Being a mum of three older children, who are now in their late teens and late 20’s, I understand the need for good support networks as we raise our children. During the pregnancies and early months raising my own children, I started researching exactly what pregnancy means to me and the physiology of birth – and that knowledge has been a super tool I often share to add in to any family’s parenting kit when they meet me at clinic in Wilmslow and Stockton Heath, in their home or online in video calls.

Lactation Consultants often share a common journey with the families they assist. Many of us have faced challenges like dealing with gassy, windy babies, struggling with growth, encountering difficulties with breastfeeding and bottle feeding, navigating issues with expressing milk, introducing solid foods, and coping with sleep problems. Looking back, I wish I had known then what I have learned through the years. It’s a reminder that we all do our best with the knowledge we have in each moment, understanding the struggles and uncertainties that others may be going through.

I have spent much of my time since becoming a parent researching, accessing training and working in paid and voluntary roles to provide a better experience for people experiencing pregnancy, birth and infant challenges. I am always eager to learn more about what exactly it is that made our bodies so amazing and felt called to become a Doula and Lactation Consultant so I could support new families on their own journey.

Whether you choose breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or a combination, I can provide support and guidance to create a personalised feeding plan that works for you and your baby. I’m also here to address any general feeding or sleep concerns you might have, from newborn to toddlerhood.

And to give you a head start, I offer antenatal classes (both online and in-person) to prepare you for your breastfeeding journey even before your baby arrives.
