“Julia has so much knowledge and experience helping mum's to breastfeed! She gave me some excellent advice and tips on feeding my little one both on the breast and how to combination feed with the bottle as well. She was always there to give me the reassurance I needed”

“Julia was a god send for me when in the NICU unit trying to feed my tiny boy and also out in the community when we were allowed home, lots of issues with weight loss, tongue tie and reflux but without her support I definitely would not have managed to feed for as long as I did”

“I really really struggled with the early days of breast feeding and my daughter was not gaining adequate weight. I met with Julia and within the first 10 minutes she had fixed some issues and I was able to nurse without pain! Honestly she completely changed my breastfeeding journey and now over 6 months later I am able to feed my daughter easily and enjoyably

“Julia sat with me and my newborn for many hours helping me… I felt so much more confident after our time together and I firmly believe that it made the difference to my breastfeeding journey. I was ready to give up due to the pain. The closeness while we feed means everything to me and my baby now and I couldn’t have done it without her”

Julia has been an absolute savior for my baby and I. I contacted Julia because my premature baby was having trouble feeding on her first week home. And by the time Julia left, little one was feeding by herself exceptionally well, and using what Julia taught me her feeding has got better and better over the last 2 weeks… if it weren’t for her support I would’ve given up and be bottle feeding now.

“Ready to give up the hope and dream of breastfeeding, after a stressful and challenging first couple of days, Julia saved the day for us and our beautiful baby. Julia had our baby breastfeeding straight away - I was truly amazed & will never forget that moment where it finally worked & we have not looked back since, with on going care and support. I will recommend to everyone I know - Thankyou Julia from us and our thriving baby”

“I cannot recommend Julia enough. When I was at a complete loss in the middle of the night during a feed, I messaged Julia and she got back to me with really thoughtful and considered advice and even came round the next day to provide hands on support. I was very ready to give up breastfeeding because of all the pain and challenges I was experiencing but Julia was a complete turning point in my feeding journey”

“Julia was the most incredible support in those early days and I will forever be grateful for the confidence she gave me when I needed it most. I met with her both pre and post baby to prep for feeding and then for guidance when things were a little tricky. Would highly highly highly recommend her”

“Julia is amazing and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more about breastfeeding. I had a zoom session with Julia and found that she explained everything so calmly and helpfully that I feel much more confident about my breastfeeding journey. Thanks so much Julia!”

“Julia saved me!! I was so worried that the mastitis that kicked in on day 4 after giving birth would escalate and cause serious issues. I had Julia’s contact details from a friend in case needed and I messaged Julia in the middle of the night when desperate and amazingly she responded straight away. Couldn’t recommend her more and I’ll be giving her details to all my friends. Really think it’s worthwhile having an experienced lactation consultant on hand if you’re planning to breastfeed - there’s a lot I wish I had known beforehand.

“Fabulous, personalised service for advice, reassurance and guidance on breast feeding. We used Milk & Beyond when our little boy was just 7 days old and it allowed me to continue breast feeding as I had hoped. Julia really listened to the issues we were having, offering specific, personalised and appropriate advice with an evidence based background, followed up by some really useful tip sheets, recommendations and video links. I would definitely recommend the services at Milk & Beyond.”

“Julia was so helpful to me after the birth of my daughter. I was unable to feed her, and it had not been explained to me why I couldn’t, until I spoke with Julia. She helped me to understand why and what had happened to me and explained what my options were going forward. She reassured me that I was doing the right thing by my baby and that I was not a failure, which I was how I had been left feeling on leaving hospital. I would definitely go to Julia for future advice and support. Thank you Julia”
