What people say about my breastfeeding support::
Eleanor's advice was completely invaluable to me during those mad early newborn days. I was struggling to feed on one side and had a lot of pain for a few weeks, Eleanor helped me correct my baby's latch so it became less painful. She also helped me adjust my feeding position once my baby got bigger.
Eleanor's guidance is clear, straightforward, honest and cuts through the conflicting advice you find elsewhere, especially on the internet! Above all, Eleanor is kind and really wants to help you find a solution, you feel really supported. She is wonderful, every breastfeeding mother needs an Eleanor.

After the birth of my first child, Eleanor quickly became a calm, supportive confidence-inducing, realistic, pragmatic confident and advisor when I struggled with the realities of getting to know my new baby and understand how to feed him. I dread to imagine how much harder, more overwhelming and frightening the first weeks of my son's life would have been without her sage and loving support and advice. She will always be an extremely important woman in my life and I couldn't recommend her expertise, skills and friendship highly enough.

Eleanor was pivotal in helping me to continue breastfeeding when she took me under her wing at a difficult time, even paying me a visit at home to help find solutions to the problems I was having. I have since been breastfeeding with fewer hurdles - my baby is now 8 months old and we’re still going strong.
Eleanor is so dedicated to supporting mums and is a font of knowledge, always willing to answer any questions no matter how big or small. She is also very caring in her approach, which makes it easy to ask when you need help.
Eleanor’s support had such a positive impact on me that she also inspired me to train to become an NHS breastfeeding peer supporter. I have since completed the course and am hoping to use my own experience to help give back and complete the cycle of support!

When I met Eleanor I was at breaking point. I had been failed by all of the healthcare professionals I’d seen in the early weeks post-partum, as my baby’s tongue tie had gone undiagnosed for almost 2 months while I suffered the very painful consequences of a poor latch. I was determined I wanted to continue breastfeeding but felt like that choice was slowly slipping through my fingers. Eleanor was the first person I really felt took me seriously, and didn’t once suggest to give up breastfeeding my baby as a solution. She performed a full oral function assessment to confirm there was restricted movement and guided me to a trusted practitioner to perform a frenulotomy within the week. She also supported me through the healing process from the physical trauma, whilst ensuring I was able to maintain exclusively breastfeeding my baby. I’m pleased to say I’m still BF over 9 months in, something I thought impossible on that emotional day when I first accepted help from Eleanor. I’m so proud to have made it this far (and still going!) but I could not have done it without Eleanor’s support!

Eleanor is just who you need in a room when you're having a meltdown because your baby is kicking and crying and won't latch on again when you're in the midst of a baby mum group. When this happened recently and I was visibly struggling, Eleanor swooped in to help me with my baby and then offered to sit down with us separately,watch our feed and talk through the challenges I'd been having.
She was supportive, calming knowledgeable and also had a sense of humour which really helps when you're frazzled and frustrated. I left that session feeling much more reassured and confident about my ability to feed my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Eleanor for more support if I needed it.

Eleanor is absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone who requires the services of a lactation consultant. She is kind, compassionate, and caring and incredibly reassuring. She immediately diagnosed my little one with a tongue tie that needed to be released and swiftly referred us on to an appropriate practitioner. I have seen her since the tongue tie release for additional support and can confidently say if it wasn’t for her there is no way I would still be breastfeeding my son. She is worth her weight in gold

When I first met Eleanor it felt like I’d known her for a long time, I felt at ease instantly.
As a breastfeeding mother of two, being very lucky not to have had any problems, i never thought to seek out specific advice, however after meeting Eleanor at a mother’s wellness group that she consults at, I learned so much about feeding and life as a mother in general.
It was great to chat through motherhood highs and lows and Eleanor has a beautiful, natural ability to make you feel you are simply perfect.
I’d recommend her to anyone needing support in their motherhood journey and I’ll certainly be staying in touch with her.
Leila
I'm a second time mum, however I've surpassed the length of time that I breastfed my eldest, so I'm definitely in unknown territory. With my son's top teeth coming in, it was starting to become painful to feed him. It in turn made me start to feel anxious and consider that maybe it was time to stopbbreastfeeding him.
Eleanor provided me with some really beneficial advice on how to deal with the baby when he bites me and it's allowed me to continue breastfeeding with confidence. More importantly, I now know what signs to look for before he makes his move.
Eleanor is amazing and I recommend her to all mums who need advice or additional knowledge on breastfeeding!
Bex
Eleanor's advice was super helpful and really improved our breastfeeding journey. She was very kind and empathetic, really listened to our problems and provided tailored solutions. She was also available for follow-up questions after the consultation. Would recommend!
Sonia
I couldn't see the wood for the trees at the beginning of my journey and really all I needed was my attention to be brought to some positioning which Eleanor did immediately. After something very simple resulted in immediate improvements and a much more content baby, she didn't overcomplicate matters and instead reassured me that she would be available for follow up conversations and advice and gave me some much needed motivation. Great experience, thank you!
Rose
I contacted Eleanor 2 weeks post partum as I has become reliant on some nipple shields with my newborn and was keen to get rid of them. Eleanor was quick to respond to my enquiry and was able to come and see me in my home 48 hours later. Little did I know I was about to embark on some kind of breastfeeding therapy. Eleanor was kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. She put me immediately at ease, understanding my journey and challenging some thinking I had about breastfeeding and my own body's capability. We ended the session with 2 successful feeds without the nipple shields, leaving me with a new found confidence. 5 days later, I haven't used the nipple shields for over 48 hours and I am delighted! I would certainly recommend Eleanor to others looking for professional and supportive breastfeeding consultant.
Sophie
Eleanor has supported me with two complex feeding journeys now with my children. She is absolutely fantastic. I cannot imagine going through those difficult times without kindness and expertise - and also her pragmatism and empathy. I have no doubt that I have been able to breastfeed longer thanks to her support.
Emily
So knowledgeable, so professional, so generous, so supportive and also has a sense of humour just when your own might be failing - it doesn’t get better! Really
highly recommend working with Eleanor at all and any stages of your feeding journey.
Lucinka
Eleanor is so so wise, compassionate, kind and helpful! She supported me through the beginning, middle and end of my breastfeeding journey by providing support in those tough early days, assisting our transition back to work and to childcare by breastfeeding, and offering weaning advice. She’s so accessible in community spaces, through her regular webinars, and her other home visit services. Highly recommend her support for any stop along your feeding journey.
Elika
Eleanor is the kindest, most caring, and most knowledgable IBCLC I've met. She's super friendly and always available, even after your paid session is finished. She's doing amazing volutary work with local organisations and with the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers. I'm beyond grateful for having met her
Gabriella
I’ve done two seminars with Eleanor now, and she’s honestly the no-nonsense auntie I need in my life. Without fail, I’ve come out of her sessions feeling empowered, informed, and much more at ease than I started. For those of us who don’t have a network of experienced mums around us to go to for advice, Eleanor is a fantastic resource 💝
Sophie L
Eleanor is highly knowledgeable on all things relating to infant feeding. She explains things in an accessible and hands-on way that make a real difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eleanor for anyone who needs a helping hand on their breastfeeding journey.
Mair
I took part in Eleanor's 'return to work' webinar and it was fantastic. Informative, evidence based, warm and reassuring. And she took the time to help make a personal plan with each person on the call and talk through our specific needs which was amazing. I felt so much more confident continuing to breastfeed when I returned to work, and it fitted around my work and my life so much better than with my first baby when I hadn't had Eleanor's advice. She's amazing, would recommend to every new mum, whether you are breast or bottle feeding.

There is so much information out there when it comes to raising children these days and somebody like Eleanor helps you to cut through the noise. She is a trusted resource and uses research to back her courses, I recently took part in a Starting Solids workshop which I feel has equipped me with the tools and confidence to move onto this next stage of parenthood. I can highly recommend Eleanor's courses to anybody seeking guidance and support in their parenting journey.

Participated in a stopping breastfeeding course. I found so much information at the start of my breastfeeding journey but hardly anything about stopping. This course really helped to provide information, techniques, provide validation and support. Highly recommend.
Wallis
Eleanor is an absolute font of knowledge when it comes to infant feeding. She’s given me so many helpful tips and reassuring advice that has massively helped my breastfeeding journey. She’s incredibly kind but also no-nonsense which is just how supporting parents should be IMO! Definitely recommend.
Roberta
Eleanor is amazing, a parenting guru! She offers myth busting, practical, non judgemental, tailored advice for the whole feeding journey, cutting through the internet noise and calming (my) first time mum anxiety. I highly recommend Eleanor where ever you are in your feeding journey (I met Eleanor later in mine when my baby was 4.5 months old) and also her workshops which are relaxed, informative and interactive.
