Safe, compassionate and non-judgemental infant feeding advice from a Registered Midwife & Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.
Whether you are expecting your first baby (or your 10th!) you are embarking on the most exciting new path and I cant wait to be apart of your journey and get to know you and your family.
But first, here is a little info about me!
My name is Keryn and I am a Registered Midwife and 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 care. My highest priority is to create a calm, safe and judgment-free space to provide comprehensive, evidenced-based education and support for you and your family.
If you are currently pregnant and preparing for the birth or you have already welcomed your new arrival, please reach out! I offer a range of lactation support options starting from the second trimester of pregnancy until your baby is 12 months of age.
I would be honoured to join you on your journey and help in any way I can.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Keryn
