Free 15 Minute Introduction Call

Choosing a health-care provider or professional can be VERY difficult, and building trust, rapport and a feeling of safety is so important.

Before you book an appointment with me, you might find it comforting to have a 15 minute phone conversation with me first. You know your baby and your family best, so I'm confident you'll get a good sense of whether I could be a good addition to your village at this point in time.

Support Sessions

I offer a range of support to families navigating their baby's first years of life.

Is your baby particularly unsettled, with long periods of crying and fussing during the day or night?

Are you a parent who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing wanting wrap-around support and evidence-based advice as you prepare to bring your baby home?

Maybe you are overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice, and you're looking for support that understands your unique family context.

I'm here to help you with holistic, evidence-based support rooted in NDC principles and my unique professional and personal background.

Follow Up Support

After your first appointment with me, I offer a range of flexible follow-up support options to suit your needs, and the needs of your baby and family. This might be another session, flexible video consults to troubleshoot feeding issues in real time, instant messaging access for a period of time, and more.

I will recommend follow up support depending on your unique context. The frequency of follow up is ultimately up to you.
