About Me

I have been working as an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) since sitting my board examinations in 2007.  I have support mothers who wish to breastfeed for over 25 years though as part of my ongoing relationship with Cuidiú.
  
I have been passionate about breastfeeding since the births of my own children and work hard to ensure that women in Cork City and County get the support and help they need to ensure they meet their own breastfeeding goals.

I also have a passion for Adult Education and I love to stand up and provide education about breastfeeding to passionate and committed breastfeeding mums and professionals alike.

I have close links with other professionals working in the field of breastfeeding both in Ireland and Internationally through attending conferences provided by  ALCI  and    ILCA   and also by working on committees relating to these organisations.  Attending conferences and other study events related to breastfeeding keeps me up to date with knowledge.   I was awarded the Chris Mulford Fellowship by WABA/ILCA in 2014 and spent 6 weeks in Penang, Malaysia working with WABA.
