About Nicole

Welcome — I’m Nicole, a Registered Midwife, International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and mother of two.

 

I have worked within the public healthcare system for almost 15 years, providing comprehensive care to families throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. Supporting families during their transition into parenthood has been a privilege, and through this work I have developed a strong passion for helping mothers feel supported and confident in achieving their breastfeeding goals.

 

As an IBCLC, I am dedicated to providing current, evidence-based lactation care tailored to the unique needs of each family. My approach is compassionate and individualised, with a focus on empowering you with the knowledge, reassurance, and confidence needed during this important stage of life.

 

I am also a volunteer Breastfeeding Counsellor with the Australian Breastfeeding Association, having completed a Certificate IV in Breastfeeding Education. Through this role, I have supported mothers across Australia by providing breastfeeding education and guidance via the ABA Breastfeeding Helpline.

 

My professional experience is complemented by my own personal breastfeeding journey. Having navigated challenges such as low milk supply, triple feeding, breastfeeding during pregnancy, tandem feeding, and managing breastfeeding alongside infant allergies, I understand firsthand how vital timely and appropriate support can be.

 

If you’re seeking breastfeeding support or are unsure which service may be right for you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I would be very happy to help.
