About midwifery care
Meet Aimee
Hello, I’m Aimee.
I’m an IBCLC Lactation Consultant, registered midwife and nurse, offering specialist feeding support and private midwifery care to families across South West London.
I’ve worked in the NHS since 2009 and have spent most of my career in a busy London hospital. For nine years, I worked within and led a specialist caseloading midwifery team, supporting families throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. That experience shaped the way I practise today: I believe care is at its best when you feel listened to, supported and cared for by someone who takes the time to really get to know you and your baby.
Becoming a mother myself gave me an entirely new perspective. Despite years of supporting other families, I found breastfeeding difficult in the early weeks and experienced first-hand how overwhelming feeding problems can feel when you are exhausted, recovering from birth and simply trying to work out what your baby needs.
With the right support, things changed for us, and my wee boy is still breastfeeding today. That experience deepened my passion for infant feeding and led me to qualify as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Today, I bring together my experience as a midwife, nurse, lactation consultant and mother to provide calm, evidence-based care in your own home. My role is to look at the whole picture and help you find a way forward that works for your family.
There is no expectation for feeding to look a particular way. My job is not to tell you how you should feed your baby, but to give you expert assessment, practical support and honest information so you can make decisions that feel right for you.

Kind words
What families say.
It never felt like she simply came once and left me to figure things out alone.
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.
Aimee came to help us assess our baby daughter after her weight gain had been slower than expected and she was refusing to take a bottle. She watched a feed and gave us lots of really practical advice on ways to get some extra milk into her, not just through a bottle, but using other methods too. Crucially, Aimee recognised that our daughter's tongue mobility wasn't as expected. As first-time parents, this wasn't something we had picked up on, particularly as we had previously been told by several medical professionals that she didn't have a tongue tie. Aimee helped us get a referral to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital so that it could be properly assessed. It turned out our daughter had a severe posterior tongue tie with very limited tongue mobility. This has now been treated and she is gaining weight much more quickly, so we're incredibly grateful to Aimee for spotting it and helping us get the right support. She has also been brilliant at checking in afterwards and offering additional tips and advice over WhatsApp. She's friendly, approachable and completely non-judgemental, and I'd really recommend her to any parents looking for feeding support.
I came to Aimee really struggling with breastfeeding and experiencing a lot of pain latching, having had my baby prematurely at 33 weeks (37 weeks when Aimee saw him). Within a very short time, Aimee was able to help us achieve a painless latch. She also made us feel completely at ease and has been very professional in getting to know our baby (comprehensive questionnaire beforehand & follow ups afterwards). Aimee was also very responsive and arrived to see us the same evening that I called. This has allowed me to start a really enjoyable breastfeeding journey with my baby - thank you Aimee, I am so grateful.
Aimee was so supportive and helped me learn all about breastfeeding as well as colostrum harvesting - we actually did some in the session and left feeling so confident about all things feeding.
Aimee is fantastic! She was able to come to see us so quickly, and made such helpful and practical suggestions. She had made a huge difference to our breastfeeding journey .a my baby is much happier now!
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.
Aimee was brilliant. We were struggling with latching after a week with our newborn. Aimee popped around for a 2 hr consultation the next day and was extremely knowledgeable and provided sound advice which has helped a lot. Highly recommend!
I’m so glad I reached out to Aimee and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a lactation consultant. She was able to come to my home the day after I contacted her, which was incredibly reassuring when I really needed practical support. I particularly appreciated her calm, no-fuss approach. She quickly identified that the position I was using wasn’t the best fit for my baby’s size or my body type, and suggested a simple adjustment that made a real difference. What also stood out was the continued support after the initial visit. I’ve been able to send her videos of our progress and we’ve had a follow-up call, so it never felt like she simply came once and left me to figure things out alone.
Aimee is absolutely fantastic and was a wonderful support. She helped me during a very emotional and sleep deprived time and helped to reassure and calm me. She has superb professional knowledge around feeding and all things babies but also is able to share her own experiences as a mum. Would recommend her to all new mums! Thank you Aimee

Good to know
Questions, answered.
How much does a lactation consultant cost?
Consultations start at £110 for a 60-minute virtual session and £240 for a two-hour initial home visit. Antenatal feeding preparation and follow-up home visits are both £180. 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.
How does payment work?
All consultations are paid in full at the time of booking, with no deposit. Virtual consultations are confirmed straight away. Home visits, including antenatal feeding preparation, I aim to confirm quickly, usually within a few hours on working days, once I have checked I can reach you at that time. 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.
What happens during a lactation consultation?
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.
What follow-up do I get?
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.
Can you assess and support tongue tie?
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.
What is the difference between an IBCLC and other breastfeeding support?
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.
Should I book a home visit or a virtual consultation?
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.
Which areas do you cover?
Home visits cover my main areas with no travel charge, including Tooting, Balham, Wandsworth, Clapham, Battersea, Chelsea, Fulham, Belgravia, Pimlico, Westminster, Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Earl's Court, Streatham, Putney, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Earlsfield, Brixton and Dulwich. Further afield, get in touch: I can often come to you for a small travel charge, or point you to a trusted colleague. Virtual consultations are available anywhere in the UK.
How soon can you see me, and when should I book?
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.
