Carla is absolutely amazing! We were lucky enough to meet her during a difficult time feeding my first baby. I would not have been able to progress our breastfeeding journey without her. I actively sought her out following the birth of ny second baby when I realised she had moved on from her NHS clinic and am so glad I did. Even though things have been going better with the second Carla takes time to take a detailed history, gets to know you and your baby and gave us many tips to support a longer breastfeeding journey. I wish every new mum could access her service. Thank you Carla!

I met Carla during the three months my daughter was in the hospital because she was born premature. It was a very intense period for us but, luckily for us, we met professionals who are first of all sensitive and kind people, like Carla. She took care not only of our daughter Mia but also of us. Thanks to her too, I was able to breastfeed my daughter after three months of hospitalization. Her invaluable advice has allowed me to get to know my little girl better and be able to better manage this wonderful journey that we are still continuing today. To every new mother I highly recommend Carla because she takes care of the mother and the child from the first moment that this couple is formed. She is a very sweet, thoughtful and very prepared person, her meticulous knowledge of her always makes her available to all mothers and helps you on every occasion for any type of concern or problem. I am very grateful to her for everything she has done for my little girl and that she is still giving her her invaluable advice, always showing me the right path to take. Thank you with all my heart.

Carla visited my newborn and I at home and very quickly identified a posterior tongue tie which was missed in hospital. Carla taught us ways to feed without pain which was amazing. She is confident, friendly and clearly very skilled at what she does. Fortunately my daughters tongue tie was cut which made a huge difference to our breastfeeding journey. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Carla enough, she is amazing, experienced and the most important thing for me, friendly, kind and a wonderful human. Breastfeeding is sometimes a difficult journey and having someone like Carla by your side can really make a huge difference.Thank you Carla, we are very happy to have met you!

I can't thank Carla enough for spending time with me actually listening to my concerns and not dismissing them. As it turns out, they were mostly unfounded concerns but it was fantastic to get this reassurance after being properly heard for what felt like the first time! Her tips on positioning and reading my baby have already made a difference in just one day and I feel so much happier about continuing my feeding journey now. Highly recommend using Carla if you're struggling.

We’ve had a particularly tricky feeding journey, but I’m very grateful we found Carla to help navigate. Carla’s saved my daughter from taking unnecessary medication, as well as cutting out dairy (which was not the issue). She also flagged my daughters tongue tie. Whilst I’m not able to exclusively breast feed as I hoped, Carla has supported me in finding the right balance that works for me & my daughter.Outside of feeding, Carla also gave us the confidence to co-sleep, as well as some golden reflux advice. Really recommend working with Carla, especially if you’re a parent who really values taking a natural approach where possible, like us.

Everyone breastfeeding Mumma needs Carla! The knowledge and support Carla has offered have been exceptional. I was highly recommended Carla and knew when I was pregnant I was going to book her in. She massively helped improve my latch which has made breastfeeding far more enjoyable. On top of this all she is a kind, friendly and caring a person!

Carla was a massive help to me on my breastfeeding journey. Calm, patient, friendly and gives lots of tips and support to move things forward. Couldn't have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone having issues.

Carla came highly recommended to us so we booked her for a breastfeeding consultation and tongue tie assessment / procedure at our home. We loved her warm and caring approach whilst assessing our baby who is only 2 days old. She offered lots of validation and reassurance about our concerns. She was highly professional and helped us to understand all about the process, as well as offering really informative breastfeeding advice. We are so glad we booked to see her this early on. She successfully corrected our baby’s tongue tie, which has really helped her latch and the feeding process. We feel really lucky to have found Carla to help us and our newborn. We highly recommend Carla for any baby feeding / tongue tie assessment needs!

I would wholeheartedly recommend Carla to any new parents. In the whirlwind of caring for a newborn, Carla helped us feel less anxious and supported us with achievable realistic goals to enable us to feed our little one effectively. Carla is extremely responsive, knowledgeable, professional and clearly passionate about her work. It's reassuring to know her services are available for any future challenges we may encourage as a new family. Thank you!
