Lactation consultant & doula

Hello, I'm Thea. A passionate birthworker and breastfeeding specialist, a mum of two, a gardening enthusiast and an advocate for informed choice. I live in a village by the sea and work with families throughout the perinatal period across South-East Kent. As a birthworker and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), my goal is to support families to achieve the outcomes they desire. I strive to do this through both emotional and practical support. I share my knowledge gained through the experience of working with families, as well as signposting to resources and evidence-based information. I provide education around informed consent and offer families continuity of care through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. My support can include; group antenatal classes, specialist breastfeeding support, hypnobirthing education, birth doula and postnatal doula support.

Lactation consultant

I’m Hannah. I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) Infant Feeding Specialist. I have the highest qualification in helping families with feeding babies. I believe passionately that families should have the information and support available to them to in order to feed their babies in the way they choose, and that’s right for them. Before having my own children and realising the necessity and importance of quality, evidence based feeding support, I trained and qualified as a Norland Nanny at the prestigious Norland College, meaning I also have a world famous training in childcare and development too.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if there’s anything I can help with.

Photos tell a story, they freeze moments in time and capture beautiful connections between people. I absolutely love photography and it is a privilege to be invited by families to join them in their home or to outside locations to capture precious moments in images. I focus on natural images that show you and your family for who you are; photos are not overly posed, they involve me getting to know you, lots of chatting, lots of laughter and, whatever I can do to help you feel comfortable. Whether it is capturing pictures of your bump towards the end of pregnancy, telling the story of those early newborn days or capturing family life at whatever stage you are at, I would love to hear from you and chat more about taking photos for you.

I'm Kelly - a local mum of three children, Hypnobirthing teacher and Mindful Breastfeeding Practitioner. I specialise in antenatal education and feel strongly that people should be fully informed to make the best decisions for birth and breastfeeding, in whichever way that works for them. I run weekly Pregnancy Relaxation classes, monthly Bump and Baby Social Meet-Ups and have hosted Pregnancy Wellness Events which showcase the fantastic pregnancy services we have on offer in Folkestone and the surrounding areas.

Sleep Tight Baby

Rebecca, mum of 3 and a truly gentle, holistic and responsive sleep coach. I’ve been supporting families for 9 years now, transforming their children’s sleep; bringing back peaceful evenings; restful nights and a sense of calm when it comes to those daytime naps. So many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed with all the advice out there; unsure what the best steps to take are; disheartened that their friend's babies seem to be sleeping and feeling somehow like they've failed. If you're struggling with bedtime battles, early mornings or multiple night wakes; you're not able to cherish your parenting journey as you hoped; perhaps you're touched out or feeling frustrated and then guilty; maybe your relationship with your children or your partner is suffering or attending to work or home life is impossible when you're so exhausted then I want you to know you're not alone. I was there too before I became a sleep coach and these are things that parents I support tell me over and over again. This is not your fault but you can create a new path and it will be successful and feel true to your parenting values and bespoke for your child (that's the key). I offer 1:1s and an my ever popular Mindful Baby Sleep Solution; just pop me a message to book a free call to find out more. No judgement, no pushy sales, just honest support xx
