About Me

Hello, I’m Stephanie, a private Lactation Consultant based in Herefordshire.

Originally from Sydney, Australia, I have over 10 years of experience working as a midwife across both public and private hospital settings in Australia. During my midwifery career, I worked within a variety of models of care, including caseload midwifery, which gave me a strong appreciation for continuity, personalised care and the importance of building trusting relationships with women and families.

My academic background is diverse, with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, a Bachelor of Midwifery Studies and a Master of Midwifery Studies. These areas of study have given me a broad understanding of the physical, emotional, social and cultural factors that can influence pregnancy, birth, parenting and infant feeding.

My experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal period has shaped the way I approach infant feeding support today. I understand that every family, baby and breastfeeding journey is different, and that sometimes individualised support can make a significant difference.

In 2024 I made the decision to leave Australia and move to the United Kingdom to spend more time with family. While over here I have fallen in love with the Herefordshire countryside and have settled into a life enjoying the company of family and friends, the outdoors and the changing seasons.

In 2026, I qualified as a Lactation Consultant, allowing me to build on my years of experience in maternity care and develop a specialist focus in breastfeeding and infant feeding.

My approach is warm, calm and non-judgemental. I take the time to listen to your experiences, understand your goals and provide practical, evidence-based support that is tailored to you and your baby.

Whether you are preparing for breastfeeding, navigating challenges in the early days, or looking for support further along your feeding journey, I am here to provide personalised care and help you feel informed, supported and confident.

I now offer private lactation consulting to families throughout Herefordshire.
