Welcome to

Safe, compassionate and non-judgemental baby feeding advice from a  Registered  Midwife & Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.

Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Keryn and I am a Registered Midwife and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Over the last 8 years I have had the privilege of supporting countless families throughout their journey to parenthood. This has included over 10,000 hours of one-on-one breastfeeding consultations.

I really empathize with the challenges that come with those sleepless, uncertain first weeks and I believe everyone should have access to safe, informed and compassionate advice.

If you are currently pregnant and preparing for the birth or you have already welcomed your new arrival, please reach out!

I offer:

  • An antenatal consultation will help you (and your partner if you wish!) to prepare for the first few weeks after birth discussing what to expect, expected baby behaviour, breastfeeding, recovery and how you can set yourself up for a successful journey.

  • Private consultations after birth - newborn to 12months of age to help you identify and troubleshoot challenges with your baby’s feeding, settling, growth and so much more.

My approach

Respectful

Comprehensive assessment and care that respects your preferences, dignity and confidentiality .

Compassionate

Create a safe, non-judgemental partnership with you by actively listening, empathizing and prioritizing your choices.

Family focused

Provide you with holistic advice, taliored to the individual needs and lifestyle of you and your family.

Evidence-based

Continued learning through peer-reviewed research ensuring I provide relevant and safe feeding advice.

What other mum’s are saying

  • "Keryn was my breastfeeding lifesaver! She was quick to respond and was able to organise a face to face appointment for the next day. I was experiencing considerable pain while feeding my son and Keryn was able to explain everything about appropriate latching and what to do when it wasn’t right."

    - Edwina

  • “I cannot say enough positive things about Keryn's services. She is friendly, knowledgeable and she genuinely cares about doing the best she can to help your breastfeeding journey. She has gone above and beyond for me and my daughter and will happily recommend her services to all my mum friends."

    - Michelle

  • “We arranged a home visit with Keryn the day we were discharged and it was genuinely life changing. She is so kind, confident and encouraging and took the time to ascertain our goals before giving great advice on different positions and a more realistic feeding plan which worked almost immediately. She is extremely responsive over email and called me a few times to provide support after some set backs with the hospital. It was money very well spent and I plan to use her services again when my goals change. Thank you again! "

    - First time mum

  • “As a new mum I wanted to be prepared and I had made the decision I really wanted to breastfeed my baby. I booked in with Keryn for an antenatal appointment. She was just a breath of fresh air, she provided so much information and guidance. I felt so informed prior to birthing my little girl. "

    - Lauren

  • "Keryn is an amazing lactation consultant! ...Within a day I saw improvements with how my baby was feeding, and within a few days I notice a positive change in my supply. She made me feel comfortable and supported each interaction. We are so grateful & appreciative 🙏"

    - Elisa

  • "I initially started breastfeeding but ultimately decided it wasn’t the right path for me. Keryn was understanding and so so caring towards me. Supported me through the transition and weaning without judgement. I felt nothing but hope and kindness during this time. As a first time mum navigating the first month postpartum Keryn was super supportive and made me feel heard and not alone. She would go the extra mile sending me resources and adapting the care plan to my needs/personality type. The first month is hard enough and I have to say I wouldn’t be where I am without the support of Keryn."

    - Margaret

  • "Keryn was incredibly supportive throughout my breastfeeding journey. She was very professional, friendly, and empathetic. Her approach was holistic and focused on both mum and baby. Keryn has a beautiful and kind nature which was just what I needed during a very vulnerable and stressful time."
