What is an IBCLC?

An IBCLC is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, the highest professional qualification in breastfeeding knowledge and support. To achieve this qualification I had to complete over 90 hours of study and over 1000 hours providing lactation support, followed by a rigorous 4 hour examination. The qualification is recognised all over the world and all IBCLCs must adhere to a code of conduct and professional standards, along with completing a revalidation process every 5 years, whereby we must demonstrate continued study and practice hours. This ensures that all practicing IBCLCs are staying up to date and informed in the latest research evidence, in order to continue providing the highest standards of care.

Liz was SO helpful, kind and reassuring. After feeling a bit let down in my breastfeeding journey I was keen to learn more and Liz’s expertise and support has meant I feel confident moving forward. 100% recommend!! X

I booked a Lactation Consultant session with Liz when my son was 5 days old and her support helped shape my breastfeeding journey. Before meeting with Liz all the advice on feeding positions I had received in the hospital were not working for myself and my baby and I was finding it extremely uncomfortable and overwhelming. After my meeting with Liz she was able to suggest a feeding position that worked for me and my baby, as well incredibly helpful guidance. We had a follow up appointment at 6 weeks and Liz was also available to answer any questions via WhatsApp. Liz’s caring and informed approach transformed my breastfeeding experience and overall confidence as a first time mum. I now have a chunky 97th percentile baby, and more importantly complete trust and confidence that my body and my baby know what they’re doing when it comes to breastfeeding. It is thanks to Liz and her support during the vulnerable early days of postpartum, I’m so grateful that I had her to support my breastfeeding journey from the start.

An appointment with Liz was included in our doula package for my first baby’s birth and organised for Day 4 post partum I didn’t really know what to expect nor know how much I’d need Liz that day but it was perfectly timed. Liz helped us refine the latch and gave tips on how to manage pain with milk coming in. If I didn’t have support at the time, I may have given up breastfeeding due to the pain Her ongoing support with questions have been extremely valuable too. I feel I have a plan of action going forward. She was also extremely understanding and supportive in general not just regarding breastfeeding which is rare to find. Thank you Liz!

As first time parents, we tried everything we found on the web to help our little one start bottle feeding as she was starting nursery. Nothing worked so we decided to get some specialised help. We had a very productive consultation with Liz where she immediately narrowed down the impediments our baby needed to overcome and she’s also given us ways of helping her do that. One of the bigger realisations was that the baby’s head movements looked like refusal but were just distractions, once Liz told us to keep her focus on a toy while feeding her, it all changed. There were a couple other things and some exercises to do which all helped get my baby drinking milk from a bottle like a pro. I know that we would have wasted so much more time trying other methods we read about on the web and that getting Liz in helped us stay focussed on the method and exercises that really made a difference, fast. I wholeheartedly recommend you give her a call if you’re finding yourself in a similar situation. I’m confident that Liz can help give you the clarity (and suport) that you need.

I saw Liz when my newborn was around a month old as had been having some issues latching. Liz was reassuring and made me feel very comfortable. She provided some great advice including additional positions that worked really well for my baby and I. This allowed us to keep going with breastfeeding and we’re still going strong at 5 months. Liz was also incredibly responsive when we had some follow up questions around using a bottle for expressed milk a number of months later. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone needing advice on any area of breastfeeding.

Sarah Tian

Liz provided absolutely invaluable and fantastic support with both sleep and breastfeeding for us. She was extremely patient, compassionate, understanding and encouraging, and very responsive to all our many questions and concerns. I really feel she went above and beyond to help us, and I genuinely don’t think I could have continued my breastfeeding journey without her support - I’m forever grateful! I highly recommend to anyone who’s considering either breastfeeding support or help with gentle methods of sleep training.

Liz is amazing. Knowledgeable, patient and a great comfort to have whilst learning to breastfeed. She listens and always knows how to help. I really struggled first time around and without doubt working with Liz made the difference this time around. Breastfeeding is still hard, there’s no denying that, but her support both in person and on WhatsApp is invaluable. Even as things change and curveballs come, just knowing I could count on her to help and support was everything. I’m so chuffed and proud of myself for feeding this time and Liz played a huge part in that. Worth every penny. Thank you, Liz xx

I was recommended by a friend to get in touch with Liz for support with BF for my second baby as I struggled with bf my first baby and stopped bf after 3 weeks. Liz was brilliant and supported me from the day my baby was born via WhatsApp then she visited us once we were home from the hospital. I have successfully managed to bf my baby this time round, it has been a lot less painful and feels so natural. I have been bf for 4 months so far 😊 Thank you, Liz!

Charlotte Gibson

I highly recommend Liz as a lactation consultant. When I was about one month postpartum, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure if my baby was latching efficiently, but her support made a huge difference. She was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to really understand my concerns. Her explanations were clear and practical, and her encouragement helped build my confidence during a time when I was doubting myself. She also provided two weeks of ongoing support after our initial consultation, which was invaluable. Knowing I could reach out with questions and receive reassurance made the process so much less stressful. I especially appreciated the additional reading and reliable resources she shared. In a world of overwhelming (and often conflicting) information on social media, having trusted guidance to refer to was incredibly reassuring. Thanks to her support, feeding became a much more positive experience. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to any parent.

Liz was an absolute godsend to me as a first time mum struggling with breastfeeding. She understood my preferences very patiently and guided me through the journey. Since I am a working mother, I wanted a flexible approach to feeding my baby with both breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Liz suggested the right teats and timelines on when and how to introduce them. She also explained the latching technique very well to make sure my experience was pain free. She was always available online and her in-person sessions were the most useful. I will recommend her 100%. Thanks Liz!!
