“I booked a package with Barbara already when I was pregnant. I was expecting twins so I wanted to make sure I have the right support from the start. We had one antenatal consultation where Barbara patiently listened to my worries and hopes. She shared with me a wealth of knowledge, resources and practical tips which made me much more confident that I know what I am doing. She was always there when we were still in the hospital answering my endless questions via WhatsApp. And she came to see us the next day after we came home. I believe that her gentle and patient support made our breastfeeding journey this successful (the twins are now 5 months old and exclusively breastfed)!”

Empowering you with expert guidance through your feeding journey

Hi, my name is Barbara and I’m an independent midwife, infant feeding specialist, homeopath, and integrative nutrition and health coach. I became pregnancy with my daughter in 2001.

I offer holistic pregnancy and postnatal care, including freebirth support, and I’m passionate about empowering women to feel confident, informed, and supported through all stages of life from fertility and pregnancy to motherhood and menopause.

I also work closely with babies and young children, supporting families with feeding and eating challenges, sleep issues, and more complex health concerns such as eczema or ASD, using a gentle, integrative approach that looks beyond symptoms to the whole child and root causes.

I offer home visits and online consultations.

Each consultation includes full feeding history so far, with relevant pregnancy and birth history, assessment of position and latch, practising different positions and finding what works best thorough Q&A (it is a good idea to write your questions down before the appointment), and a sustainable plan going forwards.

You will also have free unlimited follow up Q&A via email or messaging.

Home visits also include oral function and muscle tension assessment, practical use of a pump, craniosacral treatment / tension release for the baby if required.

“I contacted Barbara when my son was 2 months old. He had his tongue tie released at 3 weeks old but we were still struggling with his weight, having to top up, my supply and still sore nipples. Barbara was very supportive and came to see us the next day even though it was a Sunday. She has very calm and warm manner. She identified tension in Alfie’s neck and jaws and showed us how to work with him to optimise his oral function. She has also done craniosacral treatment on him and since then he sleeps much better. We will be definitely seeing Barbara for more craniosacral sessions and feeding support!”
