Meet Aimee
I’ve worked within the NHS since 2009 and have spent most of my career at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
I love being a midwife, and for the past nine years I’ve led a caseloading midwifery team, where families have the same midwife through pregnancy, birth and beyond. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
My passion for infant feeding grew even more after having my own wee boy. Although I support women with feeding every day, our own breastfeeding journey was difficult at first, with challenges around latch, positioning, weight loss, output and jaundice.
With the right support, everything changed. My wee boy began to thrive, and nearly a year later, he is still breastfeeding. That experience inspired me to develop my skills further and qualify as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
Whether you book a one-to-one consultation or come along to a breastfeeding drop-in, I’m here to offer calm, practical and compassionate support for you and your baby, whatever your feeding journey looks like.
How I can help
Whatever you're navigating, you don't have to figure it out alone. Common reasons families book with me:
Sore or damaged nipples, clicking, slipping off the breast, or feeds that just don't feel right.
Worries about how much your baby's getting, slow let-down, or wanting to build up a freezer stash.
Reassurance, weighing, and a clear plan when growth is concerning you or your health visitor.
An evidence-based oral assessment, and a referral to a specialist if release looks indicated.
Choosing a pump, building flange fit, exclusive pumping, or expressing for a separated baby.
Paced bottle feeding, switching between breast and bottle, or supporting a baby who refuses the bottle.
Building a stash, planning feeds around your shifts, and keeping breastfeeding going if you want to.
Mixed feeding, top-ups, and protecting supply when you need flexibility, without an all-or-nothing approach.
Consultations & pricing
Every consultation includes a structured feeding assessment, a personalised plan, and message-based follow-up.
Prepare for breastfeeding before baby arrives.
A two-hour home visit for new or unresolved feeding concerns.
A 90-minute review after your initial consultation.
A 60-minute video consultation, available UK-wide.
A four-hour evening visit (8pm to midnight) to steady the trickiest part of the day.
End-to-end support from late pregnancy through the early weeks.

Kind words
I was incredibly fortunate to have Aimee’s support before, during and after the birth of two of my three children. I had difficulties establishing feeding when I had my first baby due to a total lack of knowledge on my part and my son having tongue tie so was very trepidatious about starting over again after my second birth. In the hours, days and weeks after my daughter’s birth Aimee was so supportive and encouraging to make sure we had the right positions, the latch was good and that I wasn’t in any pain meaning a seamless start to breastfeeding which was such a welcome change after my first experience.
The birth of my third child was surrounding a lot of personal difficulties and Aimee not only supported with feeding, like she had already done so wonderfully before, she truly looked out for me. Having known me for a while she could tell my mental health was suffering, all whilst trying to care for a newborn (and two older siblings) and made sure I was getting the help and support I needed in order to be able to be the best Mum I could. Aimee was an absolute godsend and I couldn’t have got through that time without her.
I managed to feed each of my three children for over a year, and without a doubt, that was thanks to the initial support I had.
Aimee is so kind and genuinely caring, the first few weeks of motherhood, even when it’s not your first, are an emotional rollercoaster and to have a cheerleader by your side, checking in along the way, makes a world of difference and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had Aimee be that person for me.
When you meet Aimee you just feel safe — the way she works, her manner and temperament is so uniquely competent, calm and intelligent.
As a first time mum with a three day old baby, feeling more than a little bit out of place in my new role, Aimee came in and provided me with exactly what I needed. She assessed both me and my daughter, took her time to see how she was latching, how she was feeding — without judgement or pressure. Even though things were going “well” it is a daunting task to be solely responsible for providing your babies survival with your own body — especially given the nuances in the female anatomy. She provides a service that cannot be replaced by any amount of googling or online support. And I really didn’t know just how much I needed someone with her expertise to assess, feedback, encourage and cheer on!
It has been one of my greatest achievements to be able to breastfeed both my daughter and then subsequently my son through the first year of their lives — but it has not always been smooth sailing. With Aimee’s guidance over the last three years we have troubleshooted through the tougher seasons (distractible eaters, feeding through teething, supply changes etc.) She is a wealth of knowledge and an incredible human — thank you Aimee for your support, I will forever be grateful.
Aimee started supporting my breast feeding journey in the last weeks of my pregnancy. I wasn’t sure if breast feeding would be for me, but Aimee’s positivity, knowledge and experience gave me the confidence to give it try. We started with colostrum harvesting. Seeing my body get ready for my baby’s arrival by producing colostrum gave me a buzz and I reaped the benefits of the happy hormones it produced.
My little one was poorly when she was born, and having the colostrum ready to give her meant the world to me. I felt proud of what I had managed to do.
As is the case for lots of Mums like me, the feeding journey wasn’t straightforward. Aimee was always there to offer practical advice, she was the voice of encouragement I needed to keep going. She was kind, patient and reassuring.
My baby ended up having a stay on the neonatal unit. I honestly believe that I would have become depressed without having the focus of breastfeeding my baby. Feeding my baby was a special time I could share with her when she wasn’t well. It kept us bonded, and I knew I was giving something that my body had produced for her, I was amazed at the feeling.
Aimee helped me during this hard time to stay sane, and even when I couldn’t be with my baby 24/7 I knew that she was growing stronger every day and getting my milk. Knowing this was exactly what my baby needed kept me calm and stopped me feeling detached when I wasn’t with her.
I ended up breast feeding my baby for 6 months, and I couldn’t be more proud. Aimee was undoubtedly the reason I stayed strong in my journey, I cannot thank her enough.
Aimee was our midwife during two of my pregnancies and births. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, warmth and confidence that made me feel completely safe and supported. The support she gave me with breastfeeding was invaluable — especially with our daughter, Matilda, who was diagnosed with a posterior tongue tie. Aimee always seemed to know exactly what advice was needed, and delivered it with such kindness that I never felt overwhelmed or judged. Aimee is one of those people who leaves a lasting impression on your life. We will always be grateful for the care, expertise and friendship she gave our family — I cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for compassionate, knowledgeable and truly exceptional support.
Highly recommend Aimee. She helped me with my baby's latch and gave me the support and advice I needed to increase my milk supply so that I could exclusively breastfeed. She was so reassuring, knowledgeable and supportive throughout.
I honestly can’t recommend Aimee enough. From the moment she arrived I felt completely at ease. She’s so knowledgeable, but explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand without making you feel overwhelmed or like you’re doing anything wrong. She spent loads of time watching a feed, picking up on little things I would never have noticed, and gave me really practical advice that made such a difference. I never felt rushed, judged or pressured, just really supported. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about the families she works with, and having someone who’s both an experienced midwife and lactation consultant is so reassuring. If you’re having any feeding worries, or even if you just want someone to check everything’s going well, I’d absolutely recommend getting in touch with Aimee. I only wish I’d done it sooner!
Aimee’s support was invaluable. As an anxious new mum, I really needed someone who was calm and reassuring, and she was exactly that. She was always very responsive whenever I had questions, which gave me so much confidence. I especially appreciated her relaxed approach. She never made me feel pressured or judged, and her reassurance helped me work through the challenges with confidence. As a midwife, she also gave me advice and reassurance beyond breastfeeding, which was absolutely invaluable during those early weeks. I’m so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any new mum!
I got in touch with Aimee after getting mastitis and struggling with the latch, positioning and milk supply after being unwell. She was amazing. She listened, was super kind and extremely knowledgeable.
Excellent lactation service, kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I felt listened to and much more confident after my appointment. Highly recommend!
Aimee is kind and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend!
Aimee is so knowledgeable, helpful and experienced, would definitely recommend her services to any family.
Aimee was a life saver with my reluctant feeder. She gave me the tools to get us exclusively breastfeeding despite a challenging start complicated by jaundice and a high weight loss. Could not have done it without her! Aimee is kind, patient and will still manage to make you smile on the most difficult of days.
Aimee’s support was invaluable. I went into breastfeeding informed, supported and excited to feed my babies. She was so approachable and understanding and I completely trusted her advice. Both my breastfeeding journeys were challenging and without Aimee’s knowledge and support I would have given up. Because of her I felt able and determined to work through the feeding issues. She was very compassionate and approachable and I felt very comfortable with her. I absolutely recommend her to every new mum!
Aimee is fantastic. With my 2nd I thought I knew what I was doing, but they’re all different and the latch just wasn’t right. She spotted it and supported the baby and me to correct it so quickly. Couldn’t have done without her!
I can’t praise Aimee highly enough, she is wonderful at what she does and always goes above and beyond! Her extensive knowledge helped me no end with feeding, would recommend her to everyone.
I genuinely thought breastfeeding would be really easy and I felt like a total failure when it wasn’t going to plan. I was reluctant to get support from Aimee as I didn’t want to be judged and I already felt pretty awful about myself. I was at breaking point and after many, many stressful days and nights I finally got in touch with Aimee. Oh I wish I had done it sooner! Firstly, Aimee won’t judge you at all. She is so supportive. She really listens to everything you have to say and honestly, it was worth it just for that. And my goodness she’s funny. She made me laugh so, so much. Something I felt I hadn’t done for months. I am so glad I finally saw sense and got the support I needed. Aimee’s support was life changing and I am so grateful. Thank you!
Aimee helped me with demonstrations of hand expression during the latter part of my pregnancy. Although I was unable to harvest any colostrum she reassured me. When my baby was born she was a great help when we were readmitted to hospital at 5 days with weight loss and jaundice. Without Aimee’s help I may not have continued my breastfeeding journey. We are now at 6 months and counting.
Aimee is amazing. I couldn’t have hoped for a better midwife. She supported me through all three of my pregnancies, birth, breastfeeding and beyond. We were so lucky to have her and I’d recommend to everyone.

Good to know
Consultations start at £110 for a 60-minute virtual session and £200 for a two-hour initial home visit. Antenatal preparation and follow-up home visits are £150, and multi-visit packages such as the Complete Feeding Journey are £600. Every consultation includes a full clinical feeding assessment, a written feeding plan tailored to you and your baby, and message-based follow-up afterwards. A flat £15 travel charge applies for home visits just outside my core South West London area, and virtual sessions are the same price UK-wide.
All consultations are paid in full at the time of booking, which confirms your slot straight away. There is no deposit and no invoice to settle afterwards. If I am not able to cover your area or that time, I will tell you and refund you in full. A flat £15 travel charge applies for home visits just outside my core South West London area. If you need to cancel, let me know more than 24 hours beforehand and you will be refunded in full. Inside 24 hours, half the fee is refunded.
Every consultation is a full, unhurried clinical assessment. I take a detailed feeding history for you and your baby, watch a complete feed to assess positioning, attachment and milk transfer, carry out an oral assessment of your baby, and, always with your consent, examine your breasts and nipples where that would help. I weigh your baby where it is helpful, and take a holistic view that includes how you are recovering and coping. You leave with a clear, individualised feeding plan and ongoing support, and I can help with practical things like expressing, flange fitting or top-ups where they are needed.
Every consultation includes two weeks of follow-up support by WhatsApp and one follow-up phone call, so you are not left on your own after I leave. You can message me with questions or worries as they come up in the days afterwards, and we can talk anything through on the call. You also leave with a written, individualised feeding plan to refer back to.
Yes. As part of a consultation I carry out a full oral and functional assessment, checking how your baby's tongue moves and how they feed, not just how the frenulum looks. Tongue tie is often over-diagnosed, and many babies feed comfortably once positioning and attachment are improved. If a tongue tie is genuinely restricting feeding, I will explain the options and whether a referral for release is worthwhile, and I will support your feeding either way.
IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, the internationally recognised, gold standard lactation qualification. It requires extensive clinical training, a rigorous examination and ongoing recertification. I am also a registered midwife and nurse, registered with the NMC, and a member of LCGB. This means you receive clinical, evidence-based care from someone qualified to assess feeding, your baby and your own recovery, rather than general peer support. Peer supporters and volunteers do valuable work, and an IBCLC is the right choice when feeding needs a full clinical assessment.
A home visit is best when hands-on help matters, such as a painful latch, weighing your baby, a tongue tie assessment, or the early days with a newborn, and is available across South West London. A virtual consultation works well for many concerns, including supply worries, bottle feeding, pumping, combination feeding and returning to work, and is available anywhere in the UK at a single rate. If you are not sure which suits you, get in touch and I will help you choose.
Home visits cover my core South West London area with no travel charge, including Tooting, Balham, Wandsworth, Clapham, Streatham, Putney, Battersea, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Earlsfield, Brixton and Dulwich. Nearby areas such as Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, Sutton, Carshalton, Fulham and Croydon are covered for a small £15 travel charge. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch and I will do my best to help, or point you to a trusted colleague. Virtual consultations are available anywhere in the UK.
For feeding problems, the sooner the better, and many families book in the first days or weeks when early support makes the biggest difference. I aim to confirm home visits quickly, usually within a few hours on working days. Antenatal preparation is ideal from around 36 weeks so you feel ready before your baby arrives, but it is never too late to get support at any stage of your feeding journey.
