Liz is passionate about all things Mothers and Babies. Her focus is centred on the overall well-being of both Mum and Baby and she takes a holistic approach to ultimately offer the very best care and advice to the duo of Mum and Baby.

As a mother of four children, Liz understands both the demands and joys that motherhood brings. Her gentle and empathetic approach to support and reassures Mums during the postnatal period, provides a positive and rewarding experience at what can, at times, feel somewhat overwhelming.

Liz has worked as a Midwife for 20 years, providing care to Mums and Babies in both Private and Public hospital settings. In addition, she currently provides community support to Mums and Babies in a home visiting Midwifery role. Liz has a true passion for assisting Mums during this time, and acknowledges it can be fragile for some. No two Mum and baby team are the same – Liz assists and customises care and necessary advice to suit the individual needs of each Mother-Baby unit.

As a lactation consultant, Liz provides advice and help with breastfeeding and the associated challenges that can occur in the early days and weeks after birth. She facilitates Mums to achieve the best feeding regime for their baby by tailoring advice to suit the individual situation.  Liz offers support to the breastfeeding mother and can assist with feeding issues during the early days of the breastfeeding journey.

Such issues include, but are not limited to:

  • positioning at the breast
  • latch issues
  • suck issues
  • Milk supply – low supply or over supply
  • low weight gain
  • Mastitis / engorgement
  • Nipple trauma / pain
  • Tongue Tie

Liz maintains a commitment to professional development and bases her current practice and advice on evidence based research, supported by up to date literature and attendance at conferences.

In her spare time, Liz is busy keeping up with her four teenage Daughters. She enjoys daily walks with her Labrador “Elsie” and holidaying with her Husband and children.
